Do employees’ generational cohorts influence corporate venturing? A multilevel analysis

Organizations are facing an interesting phenomenon in the composition of theirworkforce: the concurrence of multiple age generations that demand suitablestrategies regarding work design, job satisfaction, and incentives. Ongoingentrepreneurship and strategic management debates require a betterunderstanding of the relationship between workplace generational cohorts’configurations and organizational performance. We propose a conceptual modelfor understanding how a diversified workforce influences some determinants(i.e., employees’ human capital and attitudes, organizational climate, andenvironmental conditions) of entrepreneurial organizations’ outcomes (i.e.,corporate venturing). Our framework offers insights into corporate venturingdeterminants for three generational cohorts: Baby Boomers, Generation X, andGeneration Y. Using a sample of 20,256 employees across 28 countries, ourfindings lend support to the positive effect of individual and organizationaldeterminants on corporate venturing, as well as how these effects are reinforcedper generational cohort. Specifically, our results show that younger generations(millennials) have more propensity to be involved in corporate venturingactivities. This study also contributes to thought-provoking implications forentrepreneurial organizational leaders who manage employees from differentgenerations

Entrepreneurship and quality of institutions: A developing-country approach

Over the last few years we have observed a prominent flourishing of empirical studies on the determinants of new business creation and its effect on the economy. The present study focuses on an important determinant of entrepreneurship: the quality of institutions. This paper is an empirical exploratory work that has the objective of uncovering the relationships between entrepreneurial dynamics and different variables related to the quality of government institutions, with an emphasis on developing countries. The study is based on the panel data of 60 countries that participated in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) project. The results indicate that the quality of institutions is a relevant factor for the distribution and type of entrepreneurial activities. Some implications for public policy are discussed

Henry James's dramatic drama: a critical account

The object of this paper is twofold. First, it seeks to offer a general assessment of Henry James’s dramatic drama and of the biographic and artistic motives that lie behind his efforts to write for the stage. This assessment is in part an attempt to treat his theatre as a distinct pursuit from his dramatic novel, a metaphorical description which frequently conceals or distorts James’s life-long, enthusiastic attachment to the stage. El propósito de este artículo es doble. Por un lado, pretende llevar a cabo una revisión general de la obra dramática de Henry James y de las motivaciones biográficas y artísticas que lo llevaron a escribir y a estrenar piezas teatrales. Esta revisión responde en parte a la necesidad de otorgar perfi les propios a dicha obra, diferenciándola de su novela dramática en tanto que deno mi na ción de carácter metafórico que a menudo oculta o distor siona la prolongada y entusiasta de dicación de James al medio escénico. Por otro lado, se analizan y valoran las ra zones –tanto tex tua les como contextuales– que explican su falta de éxito ante los críticos y el pú blico contem poráneo. Second, it discusses the reasons –both textual and contextual– for his lack of success with critics and contemporary audiences

Henry James's Fluid Texts of the 1890s: The Other House as a Transgeneric Case Study

In the 1890s, and following his involvement with theatre, Henry James conceived and executed a series of works whose original ideas, he argued, were equally good for narratives as for plays. Though discussed in dramatic terms in his notebooks, some of these ideas were novelized directly and became The Spoils of Poynton (1896), What Maisie Knew (1897) and The Awkward Age (1898–99). Others, however, fluctuated between narrative and drama for more than a decade in such a way that critics have seen them as experimental milestones leading to a new novel. This paper seeks to question this benevolent view with concrete reference to The Other House, contributing evidence, both textual and contextual, towards a more realistic and pragmatic assessment of James's genre-switching strategies in the late 1890s
