This research examines founder skills and efforts to overcome liabilities of newness and smallness in buffering a venture against environmental jolts. We surveyed 115 Korean technology-based ventures in 1997, just before the Asian IMF crisis, and then tracked their survival or failure in 2000. Our analysis reveals that a founder's education and exp...

Family businesses (FBs) are said to treat their employees with unusual consideration to form a cohesive internal “community”. They are also claimed to develop deeper, more extensive “connections” or relationships with outside stakeholders. Both behaviors may increase the viability of a business intended to support an owning family and its later gen...

Résumé Les entreprises familiales (EF) sont réputées prendre un soin particulier de leurs employés, avec l’objectif de créer une « communauté » interne très soudée. Leurs relations et contacts avec leurs partenaires extérieurs seraient aussi plus approfondis et personnels. Ces deux attitudes favoriseraient la viabilité d’une entreprise qui doit fai...

While newer and smaller firms, compared to older ones, are seen as unable to acquire enough of the critical resources needed to survive, this research suggests that differential resource accumulation can predict survival or failure after environmental jolts. This research examines the survival or failure of 115 Korean technology-based small and med...

... Longtemps considérées comme des entreprises archaïques et fermées sur elle-même, de nouvelles thématiques permettent de discuter certains éléments considérés comme acquis ou de dévoiler des éléments jusqu'alors invisibles : l'innovation dans les EF (Mahmoud-Jouini et al., 2010 ;Miller et al., 2009), la place des femmes entrepreneurs dans la transmission l'EF (Constantinidis, 2010 ;Koffi et Lorrain, 2005, 2011a, 2011b, le rôle de l'épouse (Labardin et Robic, 2008), les avantages et les difficultés liés à la transmission de l'EF à une fratrie ) à une équipe de successeurs et d'entrepreneurs (Thévenard-Puthod, 2014), ou les avantages des parties prenantes externes dans la réussite d'une co-succession . Ces approches permettent de poser de nouveaux regards sur les EF. ...
... These firm-level characteristics are: Previous studies about the survival of innovative firms claim the relevance of the firm size and its impact on the organisational outcomes, an issue related to the 'liability of smallness' from the population ecology perspective (Audretsch and Mahmood, 1991;Aldrich and Auster, 1986). In this regard, scholars remark different logics behind the superior survival rates for larger firms as compared to their smaller counterparts (Agarwal and Audretsch, 2001;Mas-Verdú et al., 2015;Esteve-Pérez and Mañez-Castillejo, 2008), which may not be capable to gain the adequate critical resources required to survive (Chang et al., 2008). ...
... For example, in emerging markets, many firms rely upon CPA to receive "preferential treatment in credit markets through the borrower channel" (Liedong and Rajwani, 2018). Furthermore, in responding to extreme PDIV in emerging markets, platform-based INVs rely more on exploiting managerial competencies (i.e., education, experience, and learning) in reinforcing exiting social responsibility activities or initiating new ones (Ghoul et al., 2017;Miller et al., 2009). This orientation can create legitimacy and morality (Amaeshi et al., 2016), much needed to build stronger non-market strategies that can signal positive externalities and demonstrate firm social impact to various stakeholders. ...
