创业前职业流动与创业绩效——基于中国私营企业调查数据的实证研究

个体职业流动是创业领域的核心变量,但鲜有研究关注职业流动与创业绩效的关系。结合我国创业者特征,本文重点考察创业者创业前职业流动对创业绩效的影响,并进一步探索它们之间的中介机制和边界条件。对2008-2014年中国私营企业调查数据进行实证分析,结果显示:职业流动频繁的创业者创业绩效更好,“跨界”流动者与“体制内”流动者的绩效更好,这验证了创业研究中的知识理论;社会资本在创业者创业前职业流动与创业绩效之间起中介作用;创新导向分别负向调节创业者创业前职业流动与社会资本、创业绩效之间的关系,这在一定程度上说明了创新和职业流动的替代关系。相关结论丰富了职业流动理论和以往关于创业绩效的研究,并为新创企业发展与战略转型提供理论支持,也为政府相关部门在鼓励和培养创业对象等方面提供参考。     

Building entrepreneurs’ innovativeness through knowledge management: the mediating effect of entrepreneurial alertness

This paper explores the possible relationship between sources of knowledge acquisition and entrepreneurs’ innovativeness from the perspective of knowledge management. Specifically, it employs the partial least squares structure equation model to study the entrepreneurs’ innovativeness through knowledge acquisition. It has been found that knowledge acquisition through social networks with suppliers, manufacturers and distributors and management practices has a positive effect on entrepreneurial alertness to business ideas. Moreover, entrepreneurial alertness plays a mediating role between sources of knowledge acquisition and entrepreneurs’ innovativeness. In addition, entrepreneurial alertness plays a completely mediating role between core social network knowledge and entrepreneurs’ innovativeness, and a partial mediating role between sources of knowledge acquisition and entrepreneurs’ innovativeness. This finding has both theoretical and practical implications for entrepreneurial learning in general.

Aligning Private Business Development and Economic Growth in Nigeria

Abstract

This paper examines the different factors that have influenced the development of new types of entrepreneurship in Nigeria since 1986. It analyzes the problems Nigerians confront in trying to run small businesses as a result of the structural adjustment policy that was proposed by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and adopted by the military government in 1986. The major questions addressed in this study are: what are the economic and political situations in Nigeria between 1980-1997 and how have these situations forced the people of the nation to be entrepreneurs? What obstacles do entrepreneurs face in starting small businesses in Nigeria? What are the different types of entrepreneurship that have resulted in Nigeria due to the structural adjustment policies of this period?

The paper demonstrates that economic difficulties were the major reasons for those who started their business between 1986 and 1995 in Nigeria. This supports the notion that entrepreneurship should not be viewed as a function of opportunity but rather as a function of cultural perception of opportunity and the need to maintain continuous family income. Policy implication and topics for future research are discussed.     

AI-enabled recruiting in the war for talent

A large body of research has well established that changes in net balances between labor supply and demand can drive competition for human capital. We propose that AI-enabled recruiting tools constitute a force that will intensify the war for talent above and beyond episodic changes in net balances. We also propose that three seismic shifts will further intensify the war for talent by increasing the value of human capital and lowering its switching costs. Lastly, we bridge human resource management and military escalation literatures and examine how three key onset conditions relative to the use of AI-enabled recruiting tools have the potential to spark an arms race for those tools. Finally, we examine the managerial implications of these dynamics so that managers prevail not just in short-term skirmishes but also in the long-term war for talent.     

Institutional and corporate drivers of global talent management: Evidence from the Arab Gulf region

This study analyses how talent management (TM) is molded by institutional and corporate drivers. We borrow from the vast institutional literature to understand how organizations adopt and implement TM practices within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) context. This context is valuable not only because it tackles an under-researched region, but also because the type of variables found further our understanding of TM processes in non-Western contexts. Companies abide by localization rules to sustain their “legal” legitimacy, while trying to improve efficiency through actions that enhance their economic sustainability. Companies try to strike a strategic balance between local adaptation and global assimilation of their TM processes. We conclude by presenting a framework that portrays how various forces impact the TM process.
