AbstractEntrepreneurial ecosystems provide a rich context for analyzing entrepreneurial outcomes such as new venture growth. In most entrepreneurship research, influence of context or environment is undermined or controlled. Also, most studies consider either macro- or micro-level factors using single-level analysis, which mute the higher-level influences on new firm growth. To overcome these gaps, we empirically consider macro- and micro-level factors together, and their cross-level interactions to portray the nexus of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial ecosystem in growth of new independent ventures in the various US metros. Our findings provide interesting insights on the moderating effects of prior experiences of founders on ecosystem attributes and firm growth.

Adopting insights from a resource management perspective, this study investigates how entrepreneurs utilize their business ties to promote new venture growth. We propose a multiple mediator model in which different resource management processes (i.e., resource acquiring, resource bundling, and resource leveraging) act as critical mediating mechanisms. We undertook a two-stage survey design, and collected data during the period from 2013 to 2016. Drawing on a longitudinal sample of 229 new ventures in China, we tested the hypotheses through the optimal scaling regression (OSR) analysis. We find empirical support for the mediated effects of entrepreneurial business ties via resource bundling and resource leveraging to promote new venture growth. However, our results find the mediating effect of resource acquiring non-significant. These findings will deepen understanding of the role of entrepreneurial business ties in the new venture growth process and expand resource management perspective into the entrepreneurial field.

The term emerging technology complex (ETC) is associated with companies that wish to diversify into a technology related business by setting up a new venture in parallel with their existing core business. ETC strategy has been widely adopted by many traditional companies due to the advance of technology and the changing market environment, but its resulting performance varies depending largely on how it is operated, i.e. the internal factors. This study explored which of these internal factors are important in affecting the development and growth of ETCs. Four companies with ETC setup were selected for the study; two were more successful while two were less successful. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted. The findings indicate that the success of ETC is due to internal co-operation in an entrepreneurial environment and the implementation of an organic organisational form. A development model for successful ETC is recommended in the conclusion of the paper.
