Incorporated entrepreneurship in Norway : Propensity and endurance

This study concerns the relationship between individual characteristics, the propensity to become owners of incorporated firms, and endurance as business owners. We start with a large sample of non-entrepreneurs in 2004 and identify those individuals in this cohort who became and remained majority owners of incorporated businesses between 2005 and 2016. The results indicate that individual characteristics can explain a significant proportion of the variance in the propensity to become owners of incorporated firms as well as business owner endurance. One important finding is that prior income is strongly positively related to becoming and remaining owners of incorporated firms.publishedVersionUnit Licence Agreemen

Growth intention and growth in small accounting firms

Previous research has found that owner/manager growth intention is related to subsequent firm growth, but growth intention alone only explains about 4–5% of the variance in actual firm growth. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors in addition to growth intention that may help us to explain a higher proportion of the variance in firm growth. We selected three factors for our study: Entrepreneurial orientation, versatile human resources and labor productivity. We tested the hypotheses in a sample of small Norwegian accounting firms. The findings indicate that, after controlling for growth intention, versatile human resources and labor, productivity contributed to the explanation of the variance in sales and employment growth, while entrepreneurial orientation has no such additional effect.publishedVersio

Nytten av å ta utdanning innen økonomifagene

Stadig flere unge tar høyere utdanning. Denne artikkelen viser hvordan utdannede kandidater opplever nytten av å ta utdanning innen økonomifagene. Artikkelen viser at respondentene opplever at nytten av en masterutdanning er større enn av en bachelorutdanning. Det er forskjeller mellom kvinner og menn når det gjelder opplevd nytte av utdanning både på bachelor- og masternivå. Artikkelen viser noen av fordelene mange opplever ved å ta en utdanning, og den viser til en del grep utdanningsinstitusjoner og studenter kan ta for å få større utbytte av utdanningen

Entrepreneurship among parents

Abstract The present study investigates the relationship between the number of children in the household and mothers and fathers’ propensity to become and remain owners of limited liability businesses. We started by identifying all full-time employed taxpayers in Norway in 2004 between 25 and 50 years of age. In this study, we look at the relationship between the number of children in the household and the propensity of these non-entrepreneurs to become and remain business owners from 2005 to 2016. For both sexes, the results show a positive and linear relationship between the number of children at home and business ownership and a U-shaped relationship between the size of the household brood and exit from business ownership
