Striking a Balance: The Effect of Capability and Character Reputation Claims on Crowdfunding Performance Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (IF 7.8) Pub Date : 2024-09-14 Jeffrey A. Chandler, Marcus T. Wolfe, Pyayt P. Oo
Drawing from expectancy violations theory, we examine the effect of entrepreneurs’ claims about their ventures’ capability reputation and character reputation on crowdfunding performance. We propose that capability reputation and character reputation claims benefit crowdfunding performance—but only up to a point—until crowdfunding backers begin to perceive it as over-claiming (inverted-U relationship)

Research on social media influencers and entrepreneurship tends to adopt an influencer-as-entrepreneur perspective by examining how influencers leverage social media as entrepreneurial opportunities. However, it remains unclear how entrepreneurs in the audience interpret and leverage influencer content in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Using a two-study approach, Study 1 inductively uncovers that

EXPRESS: The Minority Ownership Awareness Effect: When Promoting Minority Ownership Increases Brand Evaluations Journal of Marketing (IF 11.5) Pub Date : 2024-09-10 Esther Uduehi, Aaron J. Barnes
Recent social movements, such as Black Lives Matter, have prompted brands and retailers to increase the use of minority ownership labels (e.g., Black-owned or woman-owned). The current research examines when and why minority ownership awareness influences consumer behavior, particularly for brand failures. When a brand failure occurs, minority ownership awareness can result in higher brand evaluations

An economic foundation for assessing the credibility of corporate net zero transition pathways Bus. Strategy Environ. (IF 12.5) Pub Date : 2024-09-09 Keith Jin Deng Chan, Bon Cheung, Louis Yue Shen
The G20 has highlighted the urgency and importance of financing net zero transition. Investors, however, lack a systematic framework to assess the credibility (incentive‐compatibility) of corporate transition claims. As such, negative screening based on current GHG emissions or even sectors remains a dominant climate investment strategy. In response, this paper develops an economic foundation for credible

How environmental accidents influence consumer “green” behavior: An econometric analysis Bus. Strategy Environ. (IF 12.5) Pub Date : 2024-09-09 Rick Hardcopf, Suvrat Dhanorkar
Environmental accidents (EAs) are firm operational failures that harm human health, the natural environment, and offending firms. We propose they also initiate a subtle form of activism among consumers living near the accident by stimulating increased “green” behavior. Using annual county‐level data in California from 2000 to 2015, we show that following an EA, consumers reduce the trash/garbage they

Decarbonization types of medium‐sized and mid‐cap firms in the manufacturing sector Bus. Strategy Environ. (IF 12.5) Pub Date : 2024-09-07 Joern Block, Solvej Lorenzen, Holger Steinmetz
The decarbonization of the manufacturing sector is needed to meet the climate goals set by the Paris agreement. Most research so far has focused on large firms. Yet, medium‐sized and mid‐cap firms also face increasing pressures to decarbonize, particularly in their role as suppliers of large firms. Prior research shows that these firms are very heterogeneous and that approaches to decarbonize are not

Crowdlending, Self-Employment, and Entrepreneurial Performance Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (IF 7.8) Pub Date : 2024-09-07 Douglas Cumming, Ahmed Sewaid
Access to finance is crucial for sustaining entrepreneurial activity. Elaborating on resource dependence theory, we argue that the adverse impact of a loan rejection by a crowdlending platform is more severe than that of a rejection by a traditional financial institution. The data indicate that a failed crowdlending loan attempt is associated with a 14.80% increase in the probability of transitioning

This study investigates how venture capitalists (VCs) balance upside potential and downside risk across investment stages.

Cooperativism, as an agent of social innovation, significantly contributes to fostering a dynamic economy and plays a fundamental role in rural areas. Analyses of profitability in cooperatives versus Investor-Owned Firms (IOFs) show disparate results depending on the methodology and indicators used. This disparity of results is largely due to the fact that common indicators are used in the business
