We revisit the assertion that entrepreneurs are uniquely characterized in their ways of thinking; specifically being relatively more prone to overconfidence bias and representativeness heuristic decision-making. replicate an earlier seminal study entrepreneurial cognition, with a wider current survey. then extend analysis by investigating whether such "different thinking" leads different (i.e., less rational) choices worse) firm performance. Given expected differences, we also investigate...

Psychological mediators underlie many entrepreneurship phenomena. Unfolding psychological mechanisms enhances our understanding of theoretical relationships in entrepreneurship. This paper first reviews the current state studies examining and identifies hurdles that push researchers away from employing randomized experiments to unfold causal underlying mediation. To alleviate these hurdles, we then propose parsimonious yet rigorous experimental designs make testing feasible cost efficient....

Prior empirical research investigating the relationship between chief executive officer (CEO) tenure and firms’ financial performance has shown inconclusive results. Based on arguments of agency behavioral theories, we suggest that this is nuanced may vary depending CEO pay board monitoring. In response to these arguments, meta-analytically test 385 studies ( n = 1,029,602). We find positively related performance. This positive enhanced when CEOs receive higher cash compensation or hold more...

As CEO tenure, which is defined as CEO’s time in office, one of the important attributes regarding managers, management scholars have searched answers for this over-time impact on firm performance. Yet, prior studies rendered mixed results relationship between tenure and Furthermore, while some examined impacts under heterogeneous environments, less attention has been paid to alternative contingent influences, such corporate governance agency issues. Therefore, a more comprehensive study...

Agency theorists attribute discretionary earnings management to the misaligned interests between CEOs (agent) and shareholders (principal). They suggest that have direct incentives manipulate their firms’ financial reports since they are compensated evaluated based on firm performance. In addition, extent of manipulation will be greater when indirect (e.g., prestige), power governance control a dual CEO/Chair), or face less effective board monitoring higher proportion insiders). When make...

We argue that the standard statistical models commonly used by management scholars to investigate relationship between prior entrepreneurial experience and probability of switching into entrepreneurship from wage employment are less capable unveiling true relationship, especially in context big data. In particular, because immense volume data means almost everything can be significant, significance relying on p-values may not imply economic significance. addition, data, more flexible...

At least three challenges hinder the analysis of online WOM. First, process transform unstructured WOM data can generate many variables, increasing need for dimension reduction. Second, volume and valence may dramatically change in a short period before after an incident. Third, important events might trigger symmetric or asymmetric reactions across rival products services. We introduce new method—multi-view sequential canonical covariance to solve myriad conversational dimensions, detect...

While prior studies have explored the impact of CEO share ownership on IPO firm survival, mixed findings imply that association is far more complicated than a simple, direct relationship. We use lens agency theory to propose an important underlying mechanism - at-IPO discretionary earnings management and evaluate whether it channels between survival. also suggest board members representing different principal groups may varying motivation monitor at stage. The levels director monitoring...

WebGIS is one of the key technologies in process Digital City informational, networking, intelligent and visualization. This paper mainly introduced concept digital urban planning at first then detail interpreted design, structure functions model system based on WebGIS, carried a preliminary test, finally discussed application prospect area.

In this study, we examine how gender stereotype biases affect the social support given to entrepreneurs by members of digital entrepreneurial community. While entrepreneurship is a socially embedded activity, extant research in remains scant. We hypothesize that community, when entrepreneurs’ conversation topics match their role (i.e., being male and struggling with work-life balance or female business difficulties), media commenters’ perceived congruity tends be higher, which turn leads...

The set up of Web-based Surveying and Mapping data processing center, not only conducive to the standardization modularity processing, but also help management use data, making providers users no longer subject geographic areas restrictions; at same time as using B/S (Browser/Server) architecture network platform, avoid installation process, saving user's system resources.

We develop the thesis that relationship between CEO stock ownership and at-IPO discretionary earnings management is U-shaped, with too little being as bad for reducing much ownership. also argue dispersion within firm's board moderates relationship. When firm evenly dispersed director groups, U-shaped will become inverted-U due to monitoring reduced power. Conversely, when not dispersed, we expect concentration in VC especially strengthen association. Testing from a sample of 266 firms...

Building from human capital theory, we investigate the relative financial payoffs to prior entrepreneurial experience inside versus outside context. Testing sample of 26,235 entrepreneurs who were at risk making a career choice between serial entrepreneurship or wage employment, find that greater leads higher payoff in employment than entrepreneurship, implying can be extended, and much higher, Our findings hold host novel implications for understanding motivation also add research entrepreneurship.

Previous studies on microfinance institutions (MFIs) have mainly focused one-on-one relationship between micro loans and the MFI client’s entrepreneurial activity provided inconclusive findings. Drawing research social capital perspective, this study aims to provide new insights in role of MFIs entrepreneurship. We suggest that their clients create a country further argue from community can improve an individual’s opportunity-motivated entrepreneurship developing countries. also propose is...

We argue that the matching model, which suggests individuals self-select themselves into a career in they have relative advantages, may explain serial entrepreneurship. To test this theoretical argument, we propose to investigate qualitative differences of prior entrepreneurial experience. In particular, believe experience can be decomposed three dimensions: (1) venture success (i.e., extent an individuals’ previous was financially successful), (2) managerial expertise developed through...

Analyzing big data requires the use of more powerful analytical techniques. The risk not employing such techniques is that we misunderstand true relationships in fundamental issues. In study, replicate and extend Evans Leighton (1989) to revisit entrepreneurial entry problem using a traditional logistic regression one type – random forests. Through comparing discrepant findings these two models, assert benefits contemporary approaches handle revisiting questions entrepreneurship.
