The entrepreneur's mode of entry: Business takeover or new venture start?

We extend the well-known occupational choice model of entrepreneurship by analyzing the mode of entry. Individuals can become entrepreneurs by taking over established businesses or starting up new ventures from scratch. We argue that the new venture creation mode is associated with higher levels of schooling whereas managerial experience, new venture start-up capital requirements and industry level risk promote the takeover mode. A sample of data on entrepreneurs from The Netherlands provides broad support for these hypotheses, and also bears out a prediction that entrepreneurs whose parents run a family firm tend to invest the least in schooling. We go on to discuss the implications for researchers, entrepreneurs and public policy makers.     

Antecedents of Principal–Agent Relationship Value: The Differential Impact of Social Capital and Dynamic Learning Factors

Although the critical role of relationship value to business has been widely acknowledged, a review of the extant literature reveals that understanding on antecedents of relationship value is limited to relationship-specific factors, and impacts of key customer relationship value on performance still await empirical substantiation. Grounded in dynamic learning capability and social capital perspective, this study collected a sample of 411 principal–agent relationships to examine the relative impact of predictors in creating relationship values from the supplier angle. The result shed light on the significant mediating role of dynamic learning over the linkage between social capital and relationship value.

基于人力资本背景下民工荒问题的对策建议

近年来,随着国内经济的发展,很多省市都出现了＂民工荒＂现象。从表象看,产生＂民工荒＂是因为需求增加、供给减少;从人力资本视角看,导致民工荒的主要因素是我国农村人力资本存量较小、质量较差,地域分布不均衡、积累起点低。较低的人力资本会对民工外出打工有一定的限制,较高的人力资本投资有助于劳动力外流。解决＂民工荒＂问题,政府应加大对农村人力资本投资力度：加大对农村基础教育投入力度,大力发展农村成人教育和技术培训,进一步完善农村医疗卫生保障体系;调节人力资本在不同地区的分配;加快提高农民工的待遇。

Able,willing, and knowing: the effects of HR practices on commitment and effort in 26 European countries

This study extends previous studies of human resource (HR) practices by examining how organizational commitment and work effort are related to the use of HR practices enhancing discretion and skills based on international comparative survey data from 26 European countries. By analyzing individual level data instead of the organizational level data that are examined in prior studies, this article allows investigating whether and how employee perceptions of HR practices are related to their attitudes and behavior. The multilevel analyses largely support the hypotheses that both the intensity and the consistency of these HR practices contribute to organizational commitment and work effort since they enhance the ability of employees and their willingness to cooperate and inform them about the expectations of the organization.
