This paper provides an evaluative overview of the new venture survival literature. Since Stinchcombe's primary attempt to explain the mortality rates of new ventures, different research fields, including entrepreneurship, management and sociology, have devoted considerable attention to the antecedents of new venture survival. Despite this lively research commitment, a comprehensive review of the literature on new venture survival – as one of the most essential performance measures for new ventures – is missing. Covering 54 years of research, this paper provides an overview of the factors affecting new venture survival and highlights important methodological aspects in this research field. The review concludes by discussing opportunities for future research.

新创业生存：回顾与延伸

本文对新的风险生存文献进行了评估。自从Stinchcombe首次尝试解释新企业的死亡率以来，包括企业家精神，管理和社会学在内的不同研究领域已将相当多的注意力放在新企业生存的前因上。尽管做出了如此积极的研究承诺，但仍缺乏对有关新企业生存的文献（作为新企业最重要的绩效指标之一）的全面综述。本文涵盖了54年的研究，概述了影响新企业生存的因素，并重点介绍了该研究领域中的重要方法论方面。回顾通过讨论未来研究的机会来结束。
