Entrepreneurial passion plays an important role in shaping entrepreneurial activities, but theoretical understanding of how passion for various entrepreneurial activities translates into success is missing. Drawing on identity theory and identity management literature, we define entrepreneurial passion configuration and conceptualize role identity...

Design/methodology/approach Most studies have looked at powerful organizational actors and top managem...

Corporate venturing initiatives, which exemplify corporate entrepreneurial behavior, follow an evolutionary path of variation, selection, and retention. While their external selection is a consequence of their performance, their internal selection is subject to forces of complementarity and legitimacy, and how well competition from other initiative...
