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.

A model of the effect of affect on economic decision making 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The standard economic model of decision making assumes a decision maker’s current emotional state has no impact on his or her decisions. Yet there is a large psychological literature that shows that current
emotional state, in particular mild positive affect, has a significant effect on decision making, problem solving, and behavior. This paper offers a way to incorporate this
insight from psychology into economic modelling. Moreover, this paper shows that this simple insight can parsimoniously explain
a wide variety of behaviors.

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.

Entrepreneurship and competitiveness dynamics in Latin America 总被引:1,自引:5,他引:1
This study analyses the relationship between entrepreneurial dynamics and the level of competitiveness in Latin American countries.
Based on a stage of economic development model, we demonstrate that Latin American countries under the model followed different
paths related to competitiveness. These different paths can explain the effect of specific competitiveness conditions on entrepreneurial
dynamics in Latin America.

The knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Zoltan J. Acs Pontus Braunerhjelm David B. Audretsch Bo Carlsson 《Small Business Economics》2009,32(1):15-30
Contemporary theories of entrepreneurship generally focus on the recognition of opportunities and the decision to exploit
them. Although the entrepreneurship literature treats opportunities as exogenous, the prevailing theory of economic growth
suggests they are endogenous. This paper advances the microeconomic foundations of endogenous growth theory by developing
a knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship. Knowledge created endogenously results in knowledge spillovers, which allow
entrepreneurs to identify and exploit opportunities.

Entrepreneurship in post-socialist economies: A typology and institutional contexts for market entrepreneurship 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Nir Kshetri 《Journal of International Entrepreneurship》2009,7(3):236-259
There is growing recognition among post-socialist (PS) economies that free-market entrepreneurship is essential for ultimately
improving their economic future. The promotion of market entrepreneurship, however, has been a challenging experience for
these economies. This paper examines various forms of entrepreneurship in PS economies. Drawing upon the institutional theory,
we also highlight the clear contexts and attendant mechanisms associated with institutions–entrepreneurship nexus in PS economies’
contexts.

As global trends regarding increased mergers and acquisitions continue, small local retailers must learn how to fend off these
strong attackers. We assess key services strategies when small-local retailers compete against large-national retailers in
industrialized (USA) and developing world (black South African township) retail settings. Of key interest is how theories
generated from industrialized world research apply in developing world settings. We found that small retailers fend off large
national retailers using virtually identical strategies regardless of the level of economic development.

There is an ongoing debate in the literature on the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in less developed countries
(LDCs) on two issues: the survival of SMEs in the course of economic development and the importance of government promotion
programs for SME development. This research paper aims to examine those issues empirically with Indonesian data. For this
purpose, it develops and tests a set of hypotheses. It shows that both real gross domestic product per capita and government
development expenditure (especially that used to finance SME development promotion programs) have positive impacts on SME
growth. With this finding, the research argues that SMEs in LDCs can survive, and even grow in the long-run, for three main
reasons: (a) they create a niche market for themselves, (b) they act as a “last resort” for the poor, and (c) they will grow
along with large enterprises (LEs) because of their increasingly important production linkages with LEs in the form of subcontracting.

The authors review the foundation for incorporating market concentration directly into consumer utility functions, and develop
a general equilibrium model to derive welfare-maximizing principles for optimal enforcement of antitrust policies toward concentrated
market structures, including merger policy. An intriguing result is that increased market concentration can fail to maximize
economic welfare even if a proposed merger might generate positive net efficiencies.

Using local market employment rates as our measure of economic performance, we find a positive and significant correlation
between the average annual level of employment in a local market and the level of SBA guaranteed lending in that local market.
Furthermore, the intensity of this correlation is much larger in low-income markets. Indeed, our results suggest that this
correlation is positive and significant only in low-income markets. This result has important implications for public policy in general and SBA guaranteed lending in particular.

The Appropriateness of the Key Account Management Organization 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stefan Wengler 《Journal of Business Market Management》2007,1(4):253-272
Key account management programs often lack efficiency and effectiveness, as most key account management organizations are
inadequately designed for specific customer-supplier relationships. In this paper, a decision model based on transaction cost
economics is developed that allows for individualized decision-making on the most appropriate key account management organization:
By defining the transaction cost economics determinants uncertainty and frequency more in-depth companies will become able to refine their decision on the key account management organization alternatives
with respect to the characteristics of their individual customer-supplier relationship.

Following Manne (1966, Insider Trading and the Stock Market (New York, Free Press)) we introduce a distinction between insider trading and market manipulation on the one hand and corporate
insiders versus misappropriators on the other hand. This gives rise to four types of alleged inside transactions. We argue
that the literature on insider trading has often targeted inside transactions type II, III and IV but that these arguments
do not necessarily hold for type I transactions. We look for consequentionalist as well as non-consequentionalist arguments
against type I transactions and demonstrate that these are hard to find. Throughout the article we refer extensively to the
economic literature on insider trading in order to overcome a relative divide between the economic, legal, and philosophical
discussion on insider trading.

This paper explores the communication and choice strategies of economic agents deciding on a partnership, where agents are
uncertain about their payoffs, and payoffs of each agent depend on and are partly known to the potential partner. Business
examples of such decisions include mergers, acquisitions, distribution channel partners, as well as manufacturing and brand
alliances. Dating and marriage partner selection are also natural examples of this game. The paper shows that (a) when communication
is informative, the communication strategy as a function of the expected payoff of the partnership involves pretending fit
when expected payoff is high, pretending misfit when expected payoff is low, and telling the truth in the intermediate range,
and (b) the condition for informativeness of communication is that the distribution of payoffs has thin tails. Furthermore,
the paper shows that the possibility of communication, even when this communication is not restricted to be truthful, can
decrease the expected payoff for both the sender and the receiver; in particular, it can decrease the expected social welfare.

The number of non-farm proprietorships in the US has expanded significantly in past decades, but this expansion has not occurred
evenly over space. Regression analysis correcting for spatial autocorrelation reveals that proprietors respond rationally
to economic incentives. Parameter estimates for variables measuring collateral, age, ethnic mix, government policy, female
labor force participation, and natural amenities, each have the expected signs. A few options are available to policymakers
for influencing growth in self-employment densities over time.

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.

In this paper determinants of information systems (IS) outsourcing are deduced from transaction cost economic theory, resource-based
theory and power theory. They are summarized in a theoretical framework which is tested using a sample of small and medium
sized enterprises (SMEs) in Germany. The results show that internal performance and know-how deficits vis-à-vis external service
providers are key determinants that explain why different IS functions are outsourced to varying degrees in SMEs. Moreover,
the determinants of IS functions were found to partially differ between IS functions.

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.

In this paper, we explore the impact of individualism and collectivism on three basic aspects of ethical decision making –
the perception of moral problems, moral reasoning, and behavior. We argue that the inclusion of business practices within
the moral domain by the individual depends partly upon individualism and collectivism. We also propose a pluralistic approach
to post-conventional moral judgment that includes developmental paths appropriate for individualist and collectivist cultures.
Finally, we argue that the link between moral judgment and behavior is related to individualism and collectivism.
