Determining Factors

Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the determining factors of entrepreneurial business startup in Saudi Arabia from an eclectic perspective. Design/methodology/approach Based on Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data of 2000 Saudi Arabian respondents, the study analyzes a multitude of individual factors which are classified into four groups: financial resources; social legitimacy; entrepreneurial personality; and entrepreneurial competencies. Gender and education are moderating variables influencing the relationship, whereas age is a control variable using binary logistic regression technique. Findings Out of ten hypotheses, only four hypotheses, namely, income, fear of failure, perception of high status and knowledge of other entrepreneurs, have a significant relationship with the possibility of a business startup. Originality/value Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.

Relational Process

While strategy has been described as a plan or pattern of actions aligned to a conscious intent, it can also be conceptualised as the deliberate activities those in business engage in to realise a strategic intent. It is this activity oriented conception of strategy that is fuelling the turn towards practice in strategy scholarship. This chapter draws on this perspective and the ‘communication as constitutive of organisations' (CCO) perspective to explore what is involved in becoming strategic in an active and experiential sense in a small business. To do this, it uses illustrations from a series of studies of business startup or restart from the creative, ICT, and construction industries in New Zealand. The empirically-based synthesis presents strategic management in small businesses as a relational process producing a narrative infrastructure that weaves together episodes of strategy praxis to produce a coherent thread that ‘tells the firm forward' (See Deuten & Rip, 2000). The chapter finishes by briefly exploring the implications of this view for those seeking to become more strategic in small businesses.

North And South

In this paper, aspects of entrepreneurship in Ireland—North and South—based upon a sample of 4300 male work histories are analysed. Complementary log-log models are employed to investigate the factors underlying the first business startup by an individual. A between-sector analysis of entrepreneurial behaviour is presented; the preceding employment experience of entrepreneurs is analysed; and their subsequent employment spell is examined. Results show that religious denomination is not associated with self-employment in any sectors, but that Anglicans are more likely to set up employer businesses outwith the construction industry. There are also spatial differences in entrepreneurial expression, with the highest levels of formation of employer business occurring throughout Northern Ireland and the Dublin region of the Republic.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that affect the discontinuance of business of start-up contractors and property companies in Japan. It will help managers of start-up contractors and property companies to effectively manage their companies. Furthermore, it will be useful for stakeholders with links to start-up companies to analyse the credit risks associated with these businesses. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses data from the Japan Finance Corporation Business Startup Panel Survey to empirically examine the factors that affect the discontinuance of business of start-up companies. A binary logit model is used as the statistical method. Utilising the resource-based view theory, this study explores the relationships between resources and company capabilities at both start-up and discontinuance of business. Findings – Start-up contractors tend to discontinue their business, as managers grow older and when a sufficient workforce cannot be found at start-up. On the other hand, start-up property companies tend to discontinue business when securing of orderers is not sufficient at start-up. Originality/value – This study analyses start-up contractors and property companies and finds that factors that affect the discontinuance of business differ across construction and property industries, with each industry facing important, sector-specific issues.
