Entrepreneurial Orientation : Multilevel analysis and Consequences

Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has become one of the most important foci within the domain of entrepreneurship research. EO is distinguished from entrepreneurship, which is generally studied in relation to new entry, by its focus on the processes, practices, and decision-making activities that define an organization as entrepreneurial (Lumpkin and Dess 1996). Through entrepreneurial processes and a systematic search for new opportunities, EO infuses established organizations with the flexibility and innovativeness that is commonly associated with small (entrepreneurial) organizations. EO emerges from a strategic-choice perspective and the study of EO is strongly related to that of entrepreneurial management. EO research is, however, also criticized, as practitioners often experience severe difficulties while implementing EO in organizations and since empirical studies sometimes fail to establish a clear relationship between EO and organizational performance. This dissertation uses a multilevel perspective to further investigate the value of entrepreneurial orientation and how it can be promoted throughout the organization. Three different levels that are relevant to EO management are included in the research design. The operating environment of an organization is defined as the macro level, while the organization and the individuals/teams that work within the organization are defined as, respectively, the meso and micro level. Including the team and individual level allows for a more detailed analysis of the underlying processes and foundations of organizational success. First, a top-manager/firm owner perspective is used to study the value of an entrepreneurial orientation strategy in different industries and under turbulent market conditions. Here the results mainly highlight the value of an entrepreneurial strategy in different industries, but also show that managers constantly have to rethink and adapt their strategy as market circumstances change. In the second part of the dissertation, the entrepreneurial orientation of teams and employees becomes the object of study. So far, research has been unable to provide a definitive answer to the question how entrepreneurial orientation creates sustainable advantages and improved firm growth. The present dissertation aims to answer this question by including the individual level in its analysis. The results from the individual level analysis show that EO is not purely dominated by strategic orientations, but rather an interplay between strategic management, organizational design and the collective body of human resources that is available within the organization

Strategic Corporate Entrepreneurship : A Configuration Approach-Based Case Study

This article approaches strategic (corporate) entrepreneurship as a response to increased complexity and turbulence confronting professional service firms. By applying the configuration approach, we analyse the strategy, operating environment, organisational structure and effect of the founding person on a highly successful professional service firm in The Netherlands. Our analysis shows that a company that actively manages all four proposed configurational domains is not only better able to create organisational change, growth and financial returns, but is also more resistant to crisis situations

Het pingedrag van de consument bij een buitenlandse geldopname.

Consumenten worden in toenemende mate geconfronteerd met een valutakeuze bij pintransacties buiten de Eurozone. Ruim de helft – vooral vrouwen en ouderen – van een steekproef van consumenten kiest voor omwisseling door de gastbank tegen een ongunstige wisselkoers, onafhankelijk van de gehanteerde koersopslag. Referentiegedrag vormt hierbij geen verklaring. Gegeven de omwisselkosten is aan te raden om bij pinbedragen hoger dan honderd euro in lokale valuta te pinnen

Increasing Quantity Without Compromising Quality: How Managerial Framing Affects Intrapreneurship

Contains fulltext : 203739.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)Individual-level opportunity recognition processes are vital to corporate entrepreneurship. However, little is known regarding how managerial communication impacts the effectiveness of idea suggestion systems in stimulating individuals' participation in intrapreneurial ideation. Integrating self-determination theory, creativity, and framing research, we theorize how different ways of inviting employees to submit proposals (opt-out/opt-in registration; provision of examples) affect the number and quality of submitted ideas. Our multi-method study (field experiment, vignette experiment, interviews) shows that (i) opt-out increases employee participation without reducing idea quality and (ii) the provision of examples enhances the usefulness of ideas but decreases novelty and the number of submissions

Succesfactoren in het proces van bedrijfsopvolging binnen Nederlandse familiebedrijven

Bedrijfsopvolging binnen familiebedrijven is een emotioneel geladen en complex proces. De tevredenheid van stakeholders over dit proces is cruciaal voor de continuïteit van het familiebedrijf en daarom is het belangrijk dat de ondernemer de juiste omstandigheden schept om het stokje aan de volgende generatie over te dragen. In deze studie doen we verslag van een onderzoek naar succesfactoren tijdens het proces van bedrijfsopvolging en geven we, op basis van een integraal model voor bedrijfsopvolging, adviseurs inzicht in factoren die een signiIcante bijdrage leveren aan de tevredenheid en het verloop van het opvolgingsproces
