20. Access Denied: How Equity Crowdfunding Platforms Use Quality Signals to Select New Ventures.

Abstract

Among the new ventures actively seeking funds through equity crowdfunding, only a lucky few seemingly survive the rigorous selection process imposed by equity crowdfunding platforms (ECFPs). With a conjoint experiment involving decision-makers from 50 platforms in 22 countries, this study provides first quantitative evidence regarding how ECFPs actually use quality signals to select new ventures to start fundraising campaigns. The ECFPs interpret signals differently, depending on whether they impose a co-investment requirement or generate revenues from new ventures' long-term performance. The effectiveness of the signals also is contingent on the applicant's industry background and the signals' accessibility in the country where the ECFP operates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

23. Multinational companies’ strategies for R&D internationalization: Emerging versus advanced economies

Author

Steinberg, Philip, Procher, Vivien D., Urbig, Diemo, and Volkmann, Christine K.

Abstract

Empirical studies and theory development on firm internationalization have been mostly focused on advanced-economy multinational companies (AMNCs). In recent years, however, emerging economies’ multinational companies (EMNCs) have been on the rise with respect to their presence and investment in foreign markets. Technology- and innovation-driven investments by EMNCs are a new trend allowing them to build up their innovation capabilities and, hence, to catch-up with AMNCs. We analyze knowledge-related strategies within EMNCs versus AMNCs R&D internationalization. In line with theoretical predictions, our empirical findings based on a large multinational dataset show that EMNCs compared to AMNCs are more like to follow a knowledge exploration strategy and less likely to follow a knowledge exploitation strategy. Moreover, we show that technological leadership constitutes an important firm-level contingency, which leverages EMNCs’ knowledge exploitation. Consequently, R&D internationalization by technological leaders from emerging economies follows knowledge-related strategies mirroring those by AMNCs

Abstract

Muhammad Yunus is one of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs, having been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for founding the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. This microfinance institution is the largest one until today, counting eight million borrowers. We conducted research on Grameen Bank, related organisations and the concept of social business over the past years and asked Yunus questions which arose as a result of the research.

Abstract

This paper provides an overview on the state of art of research on social entrepreneurship and the establishment of this topic in the academic world. It uses scientometric methods, especially bibliometrics, in measuring the maturity of social entrepreneurship research. The empirical part reveals the increasing number of literature, the institutionalization of social entrepreneurship in seven dimensions, the emergence of thematic clusters, and methodological issue. The paper makes concrete suggestions on how to overcome methodological challenges at the boarder of advanced qualitative and early quantitative research designs. Using Harzing’s “Publish or Perish” software this article furthermore provides a ranking of the 20 most cited academic contributions in social entrepreneurship. Surprisingly, almost half of the most cited papers have not been published in journals but in books, rising doubts on the current (over-)rating of journal publications.

Abstract

Stakeholder theory has thus far received limited attention in the context of entrepreneurship education and university management. This paper addresses this research gap by examining the collaboration of stakeholders from the entrepreneurial ecosystem in entrepreneurship education at European higher educational institutions (HEIs). We contribute to existing research by combining literature streams from the fields of entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial ecosystems and stakeholder theory. Empirical research is based on a cross-case analysis of 20 HEIs from 19 different European countries. Data sources include next to secondary data and observation a total 216 interviews with entrepreneurship education stakeholders at these 20 HEIs. The results of the case studies are further validated through an independent peer group and through 14 interviews with international experts in entrepreneurship education. Based on this data, an overview of the key external stakeholder groups of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of HEIs and their forms of involvement in entrepreneurship education is provided. Furthermore, the strength and coordination of stakeholder collaboration and the overall approaches to stakeholder management are discussed. This analysis results in the development of a set of propositions on stakeholder involvement in the context of entrepreneurship education at HEIs. The findings of this paper highlight the importance of stakeholder collaboration from the entrepreneurial ecosystem at HEIs. Implications of the findings for entrepreneurship educators and university management are ultimately discussed along with suggestions for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study on Student Attitudes to Entrepreneurship investigates the image which university students have of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. It is an initial exploratory/empirical study, which looks at the situation in Germany, Romania, Latvia, Italy and Austria. The study, based on questionnaires, shows that there are significant differences but also common features to the image of entrepreneurship and attitudes to it in the five countries. It is interesting to note that the students polled in connection with the study tended to have a neutral to positive/very positive image of entrepreneurs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
