    Transforming entrepreneurial orientation into performance in family SMEs: Are nonfamily CEOs better than family CEOs?2023In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 61, no 4, p. 1672-1703Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We draw on the agency and stewardship perspectives to determine whether and how the effect of family leadership on the entrepreneurial orientation-performance relationship in small and medium (SME) family firms is contingent on the main life cycle dimensions: firm size, generational stage, and board of directors’ engagement. The analyses of 284 Belgian family SMEs reveal that nonfamily leaders outperform family leaders in transforming entrepreneurial orientation into performance in larger firms, whereas family leaders outpace nonfamily leaders when the board has a strong engagement in serving the CEO.

    Opening the black box of venture capitalists' evaluation of entrepreneurial teams2023In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627XArticle in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Entrepreneurial teams represent a critical evaluation criterion for venture capitalists (VCs) in the context of making investment decisions. Despite the importance of teams in VCs' new venture evaluation, we lack an understanding of the ways in which VCs evaluate entrepreneurial teams. Using multiple case studies of 15 VCs, we identify five distinct approaches to evaluation: intuitive approach, extended intuitive approach, systematic intuitive approach, psychological rational approach, and scientific rational approach. These approaches vary in terms of the extent to which the VCs performing the evaluation develop structured procedures, incorporate objective data analysis, and spend time on data collection and analysis. Our findings reveal VCs' heterogeneous approaches to evaluation, which feature different combinations of subjective and objective evaluations.

    Is the Family an "Asset" or "Liability" for Firm Performance? The Moderating Role of Environmental Dynamism2014In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 52, no 2, p. 210-225Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    By integrating the stewardship and agency perspectives, our study extends the understanding of the dynamics that regulate the family as either an asset or liability for the firm. Our results show that the percentage of family members on the top management team (TMT) has an inverted U-shaped relationship with firm performance. However, when environmental dynamism is low this curvilinear relationship becomes steeper. When environmental dynamism is high, an increased percentage of family members on the TMT enhances firm performance.

    Commitment escalation to a failing family business2018In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 56, no 3, p. 494-512Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The overarching intent of this manuscript is to heighten awareness to the concept of commitment escalation as it bears on a failing family business. Specifically, drawing on the concept of emotional ownership, together with self-justification arguments, we a) identify factors considered to be most forceful in contributing to the presence of commitment escalation and thus, resistance to change in a failing family business (i.e., emotional ownership, feeling of responsibility, investment of capital, temporal distance from the founder’s business, individualism/collectivism), and b) model these related factors in a form that can serve heuristically to stimulate future empirical research capable of testing for the construct validity of commitment escalation in a family business context. We present potential items that may be useful for future scholars in measuring our constructs of interest as they relate to a failing family business.

    Policy Support for Women Entrepreneurs’ Access to Financial Capital: Evidence from Canada, Germany, Ireland, Norway, and the United States2019In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 57, no Suppl. 2, p. 296-322Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This cross-country study documents policies and practices designed to increase women entrepreneurs’ access to financial capital in Canada, Germany, Ireland, Norway, and the United States. Drawing on feminist theory, we examine assumptions of policy alongside the eligibility criteria, rules and regulations of practices. Our findings reveal that four of the five country policies examined were predicated on a neo-liberal perspective that positions women entrepreneurs as economic assets. We offer insights into opportunities for modernizing policies and practices in ways that will enhance the legitimacy of a more diverse array of women entrepreneurs and increase their access to financial capital.

    The imprinting effects of parent firms on the evolution of young spinoff alliance networks2022In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627XArticle in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We tested the drivers of spinoffs' (that is, new firms started by ex-employees of incumbent firms) alliance network size through the lens of imprinting theory, using a large longitudinal sample of 145 newly founded spinoffs and 3,405 strategic alliances from 2001 to 2014 in the alliance-intensive mining industry. Our results revealed that whereas parent firms' network positions in terms of size and centrality leave an influential early imprinting effect on spinoffs' alliance network size, initial partners' network position leaves an effect through path-dependent forces. Further, our analysis revealed that the parent's network characteristics can influence the choice of initial partner. We discuss implications for alliance network emergence, spinoffs, and imprinting theory.

    The Reciprocal Relationship of Innovation Capabilities and Socioemotional Wealth in a Family Firm2017In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 55, no 4, p. 547-570Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper deals with entrepreneurship in family firms by researching how technology-based innovation capabilities influence the socioemotional dimensions of the owning family and vice versa. In combination with dynamic capabilities, the socioemotional wealth (SEW) perspective offers a framework that enables an investigation of the nature of innovation capabilities in family firms. Studying a single firm, we identify a positive reciprocal relationship between innovation capabilities and SEW. We find that this reciprocal relationship within the family business presents itself in a synergistic fashion, yielding synergies between financial wealth and SEW. The findings contribute to the literature on entrepreneurship and innovation in family businesses.

    Auditing in family firms: Past trends and future research directions2024In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627XArticle, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This systematic literature review synthesizes and maps existing research on auditing in family firms across multiple areas of study. The review includes 71 systematically selected academic articles published through to 2023. Our findings suggest that many audit-related issues, such as audit fees, audit quality, and auditor choice, differ significantly among family and nonfamily firms. Our review suggests that the positioning of the issues across different disciplines adds complexity and, to some extent, hinders the development of the field. This complexity, resulting from the intermixing of multiple concepts from different disciplines, pushes the majority of the reviewed articles toward theoretical singularity rather than a leap forward in terms of empirical relevance or theoretical plurality. By developing a field map that identifies gaps in current knowledge, our review not only suggests improvements to the status quo, but provides future research directions inspired by recent developments in family business and auditing.

    Entrepreneurial Leadership and Gender: Exploring Theory and Practice in Global Contexts2015In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 53, no 3, p. 581-586Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article reflects on extant scholarship on entrepreneurial leadership and gender, as published in both the Journal of Small Business Management and elsewhere. As such, it lays the foundation for the special issue, and contributes to current knowledge in the field. Our selected papers-summarized and critiqued in this article-collectively offer a contemporary view of women's entrepreneurial leadership at the global level that should usefully contribute to extending scholarly debates. In this regard, we highlight the diversity and complexity of women's entrepreneurial leadership, and demonstrate that it is both economically and contextually embedded, worthy of further scholarly attention.

    Planning and the Entrepreneur: A Longitudinal Examination of Nascent Entrepreneurs in Sweden2012In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 50, no 3, p. 365-388Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We studied 623 nascent entrepreneurs during a six-year period, examining how their planning decisions impact venture-level performance. Our study is unique in that we tracked nascent ventures, examining their planning behavior, including changes to plans. Relying on the theory of legitimacy, this paper adds to the scholarly debate over the merits of business planning by examining, longitudinally, the impact of planning during a six-year period, accounting for both pre-emergent nascent activity and post-emergent success factors. We found that neither formal planning nor changes in the business plan increased venture-level performance over the six-year study period.

    Satisfaction of entrepreneurs: A comparison between founders and family business successors2020In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 58, no 3, p. 474-510Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Although a substantial body of literature compares the job satisfaction of employees to that of the self-employed, scholars rarely take into account the heterogeneity of the latter population. We compare the level and the drivers of job satisfaction of founders and successors in family businesses. Building on the notion of procedural utility, which entails the gratification that individuals experience in the process of performing a task, we find that job satisfaction and perceived discretion in decision making is lower for successors. We also find that perceived discretion fully mediates the relationship between mode of entry into entrepreneurship and job satisfaction.

    International Corporate Entrepreneurship among SMEs: A test of Stevenson’s notion of Entrepreneurial Management2015In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 53, no 3, p. 780-800Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Despite increasing attention devoted to international entrepreneurship, little is known about firm-level entrepreneurship carried out by established small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in international markets. We apply the opportunity-based conceptualization of “Entrepreneurial Management” by Howard Stevenson to international corporate entrepreneurship activities of SMEs. We hypothesize that the different dimensions of Stevenson's theory have a positive impact on SMEs' international corporate entrepreneurship. We test the hypotheses on a longitudinal sample of international SMEs. Our results show the expected positive effects of some, but not all, aspects of Stevenson's theory. Thereby, the paper suggests more precise boundary conditions of the theory and contributes to the literature on international corporate entrepreneurship by SMEs.

    Family firm heterogeneity and governance: a configuration approach2014In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 52, no 2, p. 192-209Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Family involvement in ownership and management of business varies significantly within family firms. Although the literature recognizes the diversity in family firms, it remains unclear what governance mechanisms are most appropriate to achieve prioritized performance goals of different types of family firms. By combining two established categorizations of family involvement in firm ownership and management, nine types of family firms are identified. Drawing on the configuration approach, we theorize the governance mechanisms likely to most efficiently address the incentive systems, authority relations, and norms of legitimization in each of these types of family firms.

    Alliance portfolio management capabilities, corporate entrepreneurship, and relative firm performance in SMEs2023In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 61, no 2, p. 802-830Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article shows how small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can enhance the level of corporate entrepreneurship through alliance management capabilities. The findings from a sample of 272 suppliers to the mining industry demonstrate that the constituting dimensions of alliance portfolio management capability (that is, partnering proactiveness, relational governance, and portfolio coordination) positively affect corporate entrepreneurship. Moreover, corporate entrepreneurship mediates the effects of these dimensions on firm performance. These findings improve our understanding of how organizational capabilities enable SMEs to mitigate their lack-of-resources problem while engaging in interfirm relationships to better utilize corporate entrepreneurship for increasing firm performance.

    Institutional perspectives on entrepreneurial behavior in challenging environments2011In: Journal of small business management (Print), ISSN 0047-2778, E-ISSN 1540-627X, Vol. 49, no 1, p. 107-125Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper examines the institutional embeddedness of entrepreneurial behavior. The institutional context influences the nature, pace of development, and extent of entrepreneurship as well as the way entrepreneurs behave. This is particularly apparent in challenging environments such as emerging market and transition economies with an uncertain, ambiguous, and turbulent institutional framework. The paper develops suggestions as to how to extend the current institutional approach by emphasizing that institutions not only influence entrepreneurs but entrepreneurs may also influence institutional development by contributing to institutional change. This also includes acknowledging the heterogeneity of entrepreneurial responses to institutional conditions, depending on the situational configuration of institutional fit, enterprise characteristics, and entrepreneur's background, in which the role of trust as an influence on entrepreneurial behavior needs to be investigated. By focusing on these interrelationships, the paper aims to make a theoretical contribution to the field of entrepreneurship, illustrating how entrepreneurial behavior is linked to its social context.
