Building on the literature on agglomeration economies, this study examines how urbanization, industry-diversification, district economics and incubating initiatives are associated to the creation of innovative start-ups in Italy. The empirical analysis is based on a sample of 6018 innovative start-ups distributed across 104 Italian NUTS 3 regions. Our findings show that incubating initiative and industrial districts play a major role for new venture creation and provide support to the positive role of urbanization economies and industry specialization over diversification. Finally, we discuss future research directions grounded on the empirical evidence provided by our study.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between firm performance after the IPO and its entrepreneurial orientation (EO). In our work we want to test if entrepreneurial oriented firms show a better market performance signalling that investors valuate it positively. To this purpose, we focus on a particular sample of entrepreneurial firms, i.e. companies that went public on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) through IPO during the period from 1995 to 2006. Along the lines of Miller (Manage Sci 29:770–791, 1983), Covin and Slevin (Entrep Theory Pract 16:7–25, 1991) and Lumpkin and Dess (Acad Manage Rev 21:135–172, 1996), firms’ entrepreneurial orientation is measured in terms of risk taking, innovation and proactivity. Following the literature in management on investor valuation we use the percent price premium as dependent variable of our model. Our findings confirm a positive impact of entrepreneurial orientation on investors’ valuation. The results of this work underline the relevance of secondary markets, such as the AIM, as a valuable alternative to traditional financial institutions in providing capital to small and entrepreneurial companies. 相似文献

The paper investigates the patterns of persistence of innovation and of the properties of firms’ knowledge base (KB) across a sample of Italian firms in the period 1998–2006. The analysis draws upon a theoretical representation of knowledge as a collective good, stemming from the recombination of knowledge bits that are fragmented and dispersed across economic agents. On this basis, we derived properties of the KB like the coherence, the cognitive distance and the variety, and investigated their patterns of persistence over time. The empirical analysis is implemented by exploring the autocorrelation structure of such properties within a quantile regression framework. The results suggest that the properties of knowledge are featured by somewhat peculiar patterns as compared with knowledge stock, and that such evidence is also heterogeneous across firms in different quantiles. 相似文献

The paper explores the effect of scientific institutions on firm’s growth, coupling regional science and entrepreneurship
approaches. We focus on the role of universities, largely considered in the literature as the main source of knowledge spillovers.
To this purpose, we centre our attention on UK public companies on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), a market dedicated
to young and growing companies in both science and non-science based industries. In the paper we investigate the growth determinants
of 231 listed firms which have gone public during the period going from 1995 to 2006. To our purposes, in the empirical analysis
we use the Gibrat’s Law of Proportionate Effects model. The results supports the hypothesis that, controlling for firm’s idiosyncratic
factors and external forces, both universities knowledge input and output are important determinants of the growth of entrepreneurial
firms listed on the AIM.

Due to the polarisation of the Italian production system into small and large enterprises, the role of medium-sized enterprises
has been largely neglected. As a consequence, studies analysing the factors that affect economic development in Italy have
mainly focused on the role of small businesses or on aggregates of small and medium-sized enterprises. This study contributes
to the literature by focusing on medium-sized enterprises, and the study has a two-fold aim. First, our study aimed to identify
the growth factors specific to medium-sized enterprises in comparison with small enterprises. Second, of the factors that
determine the growth of medium-size enterprises, we aimed to identify factors with entrepreneurial characteristics. To investigate
these two aims, we surveyed and analysed medium-sized enterprises operating in the Italian region of Bergamo. Our findings
highlight some of the factors that significantly determine the growth of medium-sized enterprises, including proactivity,
risk taking posture and investment aimed at growth. 相似文献

The paper investigates the effects of external sources of knowledge on firm growth. In line with the knowledge spillovers literature, we focus on the relationship between firms and universities, considered as a crucial source of knowledge. To this purpose, we analyse a sample of UK public companies in the period 1995 to 2006. Our findings confirm that both universities’ knowledge input and output are important determinants of the growth of entrepreneurial firms. 相似文献

Properties of knowledge base and firm survival: Evidence from a sample of French manufacturing firms
Alessandra Colombelli Jackie Krafft Francesco Quatraro 《Technological Forecasting and Social Change》2013
The paper analyzes the effects of the properties of firms' knowledge base on the survival likelihood of firms. Drawing upon the analysis of the patterns of co-occurrence of technological classes in patent applications, we derive the coherence, variety and cognitive distance indexes, accounting respectively for technological complementarity, differentiation and dissimilarity in the firms' patent portfolios. The results of our analysis are in line with the previous literature, showing that innovation enhances the survival likelihood of firms. In addition, we show that the search strategies at work in the development of firms' knowledge base matter in reducing the likelihood of a failure event. Knowledge coherence and variety appear to be positively related to firms' survival, while cognitive distance exerts a negative effect. We conclude that firms able to exploit the accumulated technological competences have more chances to be successful in competing durably in the market arena, and derive some policy implications concerning the role of public intervention in the orientation of search efforts in local contexts. 相似文献
