  In this paper, we unite upper echelon theory and the attention based view of the firm to provide a deeper understanding of which top management team (TMT) characteristics, directly, or indirectly through board service involvement, result in TMT effectiveness in high-tech start-ups. In order to do so, we build upon data collected from 103 Norwegian academic spin-outs. The findings demonstrate that diversity and cohesion among TMT members directly and positively affect TMT effectiveness, and that board service involvement mediates the relationship between TMT diversity and TMT effectiveness. Finally, we find that higher proportions of board outsiders positively moderate the relationship between board service involvement and TMT effectiveness.

  Entrepreneurship may be regarded as the mechanism of change towards sustainability. Any entrepreneur that seeks to start a new venture in an emerging industry will face resource and time constraints. The question we raise here is how the entrepreneur should prioritize use of time and resources to increase likeliness of success. To address this question we depart from a theoretical perspective of entrepreneurship seen as judgment, and bridges it over to entrepreneurship seen as co-creation. In other words, we combine the subjective with the intersubjective, and explore the effects of the actions successful green technology entrepreneurs in the emerging offshore renewable energy industry make in building their new ventures in nascent markets. Inspired by earlier studies on market entry, combined with new ways to understand new venture emergence, we find that independent entrepreneurs benefit from leapfrogging typical stages in the technology development process and rather devote time and efforts on resource acquisition. We also find that the most important value-capturing, decision-making heuristics are those related to “hybrid governance”. We discuss implications for theory, practice, and policy.

  Boards in early stage high tech firms have an important role to play through their involvement in service tasks. Building on the attention based view of the firm and self-efficacy theory, we investigate the role of top management team (TMT) and board chair characteristics as antecedents of board service involvement (BSI). Studying a sample of 117 Norwegian early stage high tech firms, we find that TMT diversity positively affects BSI, whereas CEO duality negatively affects BSI. We further find that the industry experience of the board chair positively moderates the relationship between TMT size and BSI whereas CEO duality reinforces the TMT diversity-BSI relationship.

  In this study, we investigated idiosyncratic preinvestment process characteristics that influence the dismissal of management team members of venture capital-backed firms in the postinvestment phase by analyzing sixty-three portfolio firms. We considered two salient perspectives within the literature on governance of interfirm relationships: contractual and relational governance, which are related to positional and collaborative negotiation styles. Our findings indicate that positional bargaining in the preinvestment phase may be a reliable indicator that there is a greater risk that new venture team members will be dismissed when things get tough in the post-investment period.

  This study proposes a theoretically informed typology of international informal investors. This means that the Schumpeterian type is contrasted with Austrian informal investors. The governing paradigm in the neoclassical framework is economic equilibrium. However, the creation of disequilibrium is central to Schumpeterian entrepreneurship. This is unlike Austrian entrepreneurship, which regards movement toward economic equilibrium. Hence, Schumpeterian-type investors are perceived to facilitate disequilibrating change, whereas Austrian-type investors promote equilibrating change. Employing a two-group discriminant analysis with robust data from Norway, the findings support the concept that Schumpeterian and Austrian-type investors differ with regard to their selection of investment proposals, monitoring, and, not least, their backgrounds. The data suggest that Schumpeterian-type investors invest more actively, into the “early stage” category of new firms than Austrian-type investors. Schumpeterian-type investors are more highly educated than their counterparts and monitor their firms more actively by financial reports and stockholder meetings. By contrast, Austrian-type investors appear to have more experience than their Schumpeterian counterparts. The implications of these findings are discussed.

  This study presents a parsimonious model of entrepreneurial capital defined as a multiplicative function of entrepreneurial competence and entrepreneurial commitment. This approach is an extension of Ulrich's (1998) proposition of intellectual capital to a practical framework of entrepreneurial capital. The relationship between entrepreneurial competence and commitment is argued to be a multiplicative one rather than additive as both components must be strongly present in order for development to take place. For example, the presence of entrepreneurial competence without any commitment creates little value for the new venture. In contrast, the presence of entrepreneurial commitment without adequate entrepreneurial competence may be regarded as a waste of both time and resources. However, the presence of both entrepreneurial competence and commitment lays the foundation for enterprise generation and performance. Inherent in this view on competence is the capacity to identify opportunity. Kruger and Dickson (1994) found that an increase in perceived capability increases perceptions of opportunity. That is, individuals who perceive themselves as entrepreneurially capable are expected to be alert and sensitive to opportunities, and able to take advantage of such opportunities if they consider the endeavor worthwhile. In other words, entrepreneurial capital is defined as the capacity to identify opportunities, acquire requisite resources and see ventures through fruition. Entrepreneurial capital can also be conceived as the present value of future entrepreneurial behavior similar to how the PV rule is used in the finance literature. Similar notion is used when social capital is conceived as the sum of resources in networks. However, McGrath (1996) conceived opportunities as latent potential or shadow options. Entrepreneurial capital can then be conceptualized as the present value of an infinite series of shadow options. In this study, entrepreneurial behavior is conceived as the pursuit of opportunities without regard to resources currently controlled. The perceived capacity to venture is investigated in a prospective research design. Prospective MBAs serve as a study sample. The empirical evidence of this study supports the proposed relationship between the main components in the equation. The practical implications for society and educational institutions are that the focus of training should be on the drivers of the components in the equation. Investors and prospective entrepreneurs are also advised to be concerned about these issues. The practical implications for venturing individuals are that it is vital to demonstrate their competence and motivation toward possible stakeholders. The practical implications for investors are that they should be more concerned about competence and motivation issues among individuals and individuals in venturing teams, e.g. is the venturing team properly matched?

  In order to become novice, portfolio or serial entrepreneurs, individuals’ must first become nascent entrepreneurs. Hence, the focus of this article is how potential entrepreneurs transform to nascent entrepreneurs. The present study supports that goal setting is imperative in nurturing entrepreneurial motivation among prospective entrepreneurs. As goal setting is closely linked to beliefs about personal capabilities, business schools should influence individuals’ beliefs about their personal capabilities, which is a precondition for congruent entrepreneurial goals.

  This paper highlights the importance of business angel networks, as a tool of stimulating an entrepreneurial culture and small business financing. It also sheds light on current practices and the dimensions of business angels in Europe. A study made in 1998 for the European Commission suggests that the potential for investments by business angels is estimated to be between 10 and 20 billion € [Euro] per year. This can be compared with the 3 million Euro in seed and start-up investments made in 1999 by the venture capital industry. A remarkable difference, which deserves further attention. This particular inquiry includes a brief benchmarking exercise on informal private investor networks, known as business angel networks. The background for this study is the underlying thesis that the potential for investments through business angels is insufficiently developed. Implications for policy makers and future research are discussed.

  The introduction of the GPRS or the UMTS technology is Schumpeterian entrepreneurship in practice. That is, Schumpeterian entrepreneurship creatively destructs existing economic equilibrium states. By contrast, Austrian entrepreneurship represents the arbitrage movement towards economic equilibrium. That is, most of the [content] suppliers take the role as Austrian entrepreneurs. It is recognized that this interplay between movements towards and away from an equilibrium point is at the very heart of economic development and the evolution of industries. Hence, the magnitude of this interplay is a major criterion for the wireless industry‘s successful emergence. Those with the ability to arbitrage away market imperfections are netpreneurs . That is, netpreneurs' cognitive and behavioral ability to align their behavior with entrepreneurial opportunities is an emerging industry’s scarce source of entrepreneurial supply.

  The governing paradigm of industrial organization is the state of economic equilibrium. By contrast, Schumpeterian entrepreneurship creatively destructs such an equilibrium state. Moreover, Austrian entrepreneurship represents the arbitrage movement towards economic equilibrium. It is recognized that this interplay between movement towards and away from an equilibrium point is at the very heart of economic development and the evolution of industries. Those with the ability to deal with these movements towards and away from equilibria are entrepreneurs. That is, entrepreneurs' cognitive and behavioral ability to align their behavior with entrepreneurial opportunities is the fundamental mechanism to entrepreneurial supply. Based on the Shapero model, an entrepreneurial taxonomy is developed and implications are discussed.

Building on the attention based view of the firm and self-efficacy theory, w e study the role of top management team (TMT) and board chair characteristics as antecedents of board strategic involvement (BSI). Studying a sample of 117 Norwegian academic spin-offs, we find that TMT diversity positively affects BSI, w hereas CEO duality negatively affects BSI. We further find that the industry experience of the board chair positively moderates the relationship between TMT size and BSI whereas CEO duality reinforces the TMT diversity-BSI relationship.
