Evaluating the Credibility of Entrepreneurs’ Impact Promises in Early-Stage Impact Investing Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (IF 10.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-08 Guillaume Dumont
This article investigates ethnographically how early-stage impact investors evaluate the credibility of the impact promises made by social entrepreneurs.

The Enactment of a Corporate Entrepreneurial Role: A Double-Edged Sword Forged by Heart and Context Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (IF 10.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-29 Aracely Soto-Simeone, Marina G. Biniari
Enacting a corporate entrepreneurial role requires cognitive, behavioral, and emotional qualities.

Our qualitative study reveals the corporate entrepreneurial role as a source of liabilities and assets for

In this study, interviews with 22 French entrepreneurs revealed associations between their alertness and past-positive, present-hedonistic, and future time perspectives. Complementarily, a sample of 376 U.S. entrepreneurs provided evidence that their present-hedonistic and

Researchers are divided on whether shareholder agreements (SAs) improve or hurt firm value. We offer family firms as a context where SAs add value and explain why; SAs limit “superprincipal” agency conflicts between family owners and other family members. A panel of French firms and a second study of French Initial Public Offerings show shareholders value SAs more in family than in nonfamily firms

This study proposes a hybrid model of initial trust formation that highlights the role of social categorization and its interplay with both institutional trust and the individuating information about the party. Using data on 1,474 corporate venture capital (CVC) investments in European ventures and a case-control research design, we find that ventures more likely form initial CVC ties with investors

Entrepreneurial Responsibility: A Conceptual Framework to Understand Ethical Dualism Throughout the Entrepreneurial Process Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (IF 10.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Gustav Hägg, Vera Haataja, Agnieszka Kurczewska, Alexander McKelvie
Entrepreneurs have been promoted as a main engine of progress. However, recent scandals and questionable behavior have led to increased discussion of entrepreneurs’ ethics. The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize entrepreneurial responsibility throughout the entrepreneurial process from an ethical viewpoint. We model entrepreneurial responsibility based on normative ethics (deontology and teleology)

However, we do find some evidence to

Keeping One’s Options Open: Intermittent Exporting, Family Control, and Foreign Background Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (IF 10.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Andrea Kuiken, Lucia Naldi, Mohamed Genedy
Intermittent exporting (repeatedly exiting and reentering foreign markets) is often associated with the initial stages of internationalization. However, some small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including family firms, pursue an intermittent exporting strategy beyond the initial stages. Drawing on a refinement of the behavioral agency model (BAM) and real options reasoning, we theorize that a

Unlike traditional investing, where decisions follow a clear financial calculus, it is unclear how and why funders support hybrid ventures. To address this question, we analyze the varied priority that investors place on social impact versus financial returns and draw on categories theory to argue that different priority orderings associate with different perceptions of how hybridity aligns with different

Entrepreneurial energy, the level of energetic activation that a founder feels for building their venture, is an important indicator of a founder’s well-being.

Virtue Signaling in the Sharing Economy: The Effect of Airbnb Entrepreneurs’ Virtue Language on Airbnb Price Premiums Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (IF 10.5) Pub Date : 2024-01-25 Jeffrey A. Chandler, Jacob A. Waddingham, Marcus T. Wolfe
Drawing from costless signaling research, we examine the role of virtue language in Airbnb listings. We propose that virtue language espoused by entrepreneurs is beneficial for Airbnb price premiums—but only to a certain extent. Specifically, we argue that virtue language espoused by entrepreneurs has a curvilinear relationship with the price premium of their listings, suggesting that excessive use
