This paper explores the effects of new business formation on employment growth in Spanish manufacturing industries. New firms
are believed to make an important contribution to economic growth but the extent of this contribution is unclear. We consider
time lags of new firm formation as explanatory variables of employment change and identify how long the effect of new firm
entries on employment lasts. Our main results show that the effects of new business formation are positive in the short term,
negative in the medium term and positive in the long term, thus confirming the existence of indirect supply-side effects found
in similar studies for other countries.

This paper gives an overview of the empirical research on the effects of new business formation on regional development and
introduces the contributions to this special issue. The effects of new businesses on regional development emerge over a longer
time-period of up to ten years. A main focus of the contributions to this special issue is on the distribution of these effects
over time and on the magnitude of the overall effect. While the basic pattern found for the different countries and regions
is quite similar, the magnitude of the overall effect can be different and may even be negative. There are strong indications,
that the type of entrants plays an important role in this respect.

This paper examines the relationship between new firm formation and regional employment change in The Netherlands. Using a
new regional data base for the period 1988–2002, we examine the time lags involved in the relationship. We also investigate
whether the relationship differs by sector and by degree of urbanization. We find that the maximum effect of new businesses
on regional development is reached after about 6 years. Our results also suggest that the overall employment impact of new-firm
start-ups is positive but that the immediate employment effects may be small in The Netherlands. Furthermore, we find that
the employment impact of new firms is strongest in manufacturing industries and that the employment impact of new firms is
stronger in areas with a higher degree of urbanization.

This paper investigates whether a high level of new business formation in a region stimulates employment growth in that region.
We look at the lag structure of these effects using a data set covering a fairly large time span (1982–2002). We find that
indirect effects of new firm births on subsequent employment growth are stronger than direct effects. However, indirect effects
only occur about 8 years after new firm formation. In particular, and unlike the findings from studies of other countries
using a similar approach, positive indirect effects do not seem to tail off in the Portuguese case. This is likely due to
a general pattern of results in which lags appear to be longer for Portugal. In view of these results, we suggest that the
lag times and magnitudes the effects on new firm formation on subsequent employment growth are likely dependent on the types
and qualities of start-ups.

The effects of new firm formation on regional development over time: The case of Great Britain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper re-examines the link between new firm formation and subsequent employment growth. It investigates whether it is
possible to have the wrong type of entrepreneurship—defined as new firm formation which leads to zero or even negative subsequent
employment growth. It uses a very similar approach to that of Fritsch and Mueller (Regional Studies, 38(8), 961–976, 2004),
confirming their findings that the employment impact of new firm formation is in three discrete phases. Then, using data for
Great Britain, the paper shows the employment impact of new firm formation is significantly positive in the high-enterprise
counties of Great Britain. However, for the low-enterprise counties, it shows that new firm formation has a negative effect
on employment. Of the 15 low-enterprise regions, eight are Scottish (of nine Scottish regions in our data base) and three
are North East Counties (of four). Our findings imply that having the “wrong type of entrepreneurship” is indeed possible.

Much of the theoretical work on industry dynamics focuses on the role of ‘noisy’ selection and incomplete information on firm
entry and survival. We extend this research by looking at the impact of firm heterogeneity on employment effects for 320 U.S.
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA). We find that only start-ups with greater than 20 and less than 500 employees have persistent
employment effects over time and only in large diversified metropolitan regions. Therefore, both the type of entry (Gazelles)
and the characteristics of the region are important for employment growth.

This paper investigates whether small businesses face financial constraints that affect their survival. A model of moral hazard
is developed in which financial constraints arise endogenously. The model predicts that higher private assets relax financial
constraints and have a positive effect on the firm’s probability of survival. The empirical analysis confirms that the entrepreneur
has a higher propensity to stay in business when she inherits capital. This effect is particularly strong for entrepreneurs
who switch from self-employment into wage employment.

The paper examines the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the survival of business start-ups. FDI has potential
for both negative displacement/competition effects as well as positive knowledge spillover and linkage effects on new ventures.
We find a net positive effect for the whole dataset. However, a major contribution of the paper is to outline and test an
argument that this effect is likely to be comprised of a net negative effect in dynamic industries (high churn: firm entry
plus exit relative to the stock of firms) alongside a net positive effect in static (low churn) industries. We find evidence
to support this view. The results identify new effects of globalisation on enterprise development with associated challenges
for industrial policy.

A theoretical grounding and test of the GEM model 总被引:1,自引:5,他引:1
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor model combines insights on the allocation of effort into entrepreneurship at the national
(adult working-age population) level with literature in the Austrian tradition. The model suggests that the relationship between
national-level new business activity and the institutional environment, or Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions, is mediated
by opportunity perception and the perception of start-up skills in the population. We provide a theory-grounded examination
of this model and test the effect of one EFC, education and training for entrepreneurship, on the allocation of effort into
new business activity. We find that in high-income countries, opportunity perception mediates fully the relationship between
the level of post-secondary entrepreneurship education and training in a country and its rate of new business activity, including
high-growth expectation new business activity. The mediating effect of skills perception is weaker. This result accords with
the Kirznerian concept of alertness to opportunity stimulating action.

The article analyses the relationship between succession and firm performance. Applying a non-parametric matching approach
on a panel of roughly 4,000 Austrian family firms we evaluate the impact of actual (past) succession as well as planned (future)
successions on employment growth. Analysing succession plans, we do not find a significant difference in employment growth
between firms that plan to transfer the firm in the next 10 years and those who do not. In contrast, past succession exerts
a significant and positive employment growth effect, which becomes stronger over time.

Effect of credit guarantee policy on survival and performance of SMEs in Republic of Korea 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This study evaluates the effect of credit guarantee on SMEs at the firm level. To estimate the effect of credit guarantee,
we analyze relations between credit guarantee, the survival of guaranteed firms, and their productive performance. The result
indicates that credit guarantee frequency enabled guaranteed firms to achieve good performances in general. On the contrary,
the effect of guarantee amounts is ambiguous in that there is difference between the contemporary effect and the lagged effect.
Therefore, we conclude that credit guarantee satisfied partially its goal to alleviate SMEs’ difficulty in acquiring finance
and to stabilize employment.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are cross-cultural differences between Chinese and Canadian business
students with respect to their assessment of the ethicality of various business behaviors. Using a sample of 147 business
students, the results indicate cultural crossvergence; the Chinese (72 students) and Canadians (75 students) exhibit different
ethical attitudes toward questionable business practices at the individual level but not at the corporate level. A social
desirability bias (a tendency to deny socially unacceptable actions and to admit to socially desirable ones) is also found
to be a cross-cultural phenomenon, with the Canadians demonstrating a greater bias than the Chinese. Finally, this bias causes
respondents to increase their assessment of the un-ethicality of questionable business activities.

Firm growth in industrial clusters of the United Kingdom 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article examines how firm growth is influenced by the strength of the industrial cluster in which the firm is located.
It presents econometric estimates of firm growth for 56 two-digit industries in the UK. In about half of these industries,
there is a positive and statistically significant association between firm growth and own-sector employment. Significant associations
between firm growth and other-sector employment are less common, but where these arise they are generally negative. We find
that a weak rule of thumb applies in most industries: own-sector effects are positive or insignificant, while other-sector
effects are negative or insignificant. Cluster effects are strongest in manufacturing, manufacturing-related, and infrastructure,
but weaker in services.

This paper identifies that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a negative effect on software piracy rates in
addition to consolidating prior research that economic development and the cultural dimension of individualism also negatively
affect piracy rates. Using data for 59 countries from 2000 to 2005, the findings show that economic well-being, individualism
and technology development as measured by ICT expenditures explain between 70% and 82% of the variation in software piracy
rates during this period. The research results provide important implications for policy makers and business practitioners
to help reduce software piracy.

The research reported in this article develops a model for assessing the cost of banking services faced by small businesses.
The lack of price competition in the provision of small business banking services combined with limited transparency concerning
actual fee levels prevents small businesses from readily estimating likely fee levels. Prior research and government reports
note the difficulties faced by small business in relation to banking services and this research contributes to an understanding
of the potential dead weight losses incurred resulting from poor signalling and information asymmetry and potentially a deficient
public policy framework.

Business students are confronted early in their academic careers with examples of questionable acts and practices related
to individual and corporate integrity. The current study identifies four segments of students with respect to their attitudes
toward unethical behavior and is one of the first known attempts to understand country corruption and its impact on students
of business. Findings from a worldwide survey of over 6,000 business students suggest that corruption does breed corruption
and that business students in more corrupt countries have a greater likelihood than their counterparts in less corrupt countries
to equate legal and ethical. It appears that business students in more corrupt countries expect to use the law as their ethical
gauge in business decisions.

This article investigates the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) on business transformation. First,
the general, ICT-driven development lines of globalization and service-orientation are described. Then, an analysis of the
IBM Corporation’s transformation over the past 50 years into a globally integrated, service-oriented company illustrates that
ICT innovations must be dealt with by simultaneous adaptation of business model, organization and corporate culture. For many
companies the ability to manage this change becomes increasingly critical.

As a phenomenon of modified value-chain structures the economic importance of business-to-business markets has been growing
immensely during the past decades. This paper delivers a quantified overview of the market dimensions in terms of transactional
volume. In addition, it explains the causes for this market development such as an increased service orientation in business
transactions, higher degrees of customization, and influential factors on a macro level. In this context, future trends in
this sector will be outlined as well.

The study investigates how an organization’s entrepreneurial orientation moderates the interplay between market orientation
and marketing subunit influence on firm performance. The hypothesized model predicts that the positive interaction between
market orientation and marketing subunit influence has a weaker effect on firm performance under conditions of high entrepreneurial
orientation. The regression and supplementary analyses provide support for most predictions and, most importantly, for a negative
three-way interaction effect: At higher levels of entrepreneurial orientation, the positive moderating effect of marketing
subunit influence on the market orientation–business performance relationship is reduced. The authors discuss the managerial
and theoretical implications of their findings and provide a number of directions for further research.
