     summary: Training, if it existed, did not then follow through on government contracting training for a significant majority of firms. The fact that the majority of firms denied ever having even received the basics of government contracting training upon their acceptance into the 8(a) program should encourage improvement in service delivery.

     summary: The vast majority of Chinese students in Denmark do not plan to remain in Denmark upon completion of their education, while many Danish students are receptive to working for Chinese companies, albeit more so in Denmark than in China. This research question will be examined in the context of two separate surveys: First, a study of the attitude of Chinese students in Denmark to return to work in China; and, second, an investigation of the opinions of Danish students toward working for Chinese companies in Denmark and/or China.

     summary: Small firms strategic planning seems to depend on the size of the firm (Stonehouse & Pemberton, 2002) because the complexity and style of the strategy-making process may be affected by firm size (Dess et al., 1997). Small firms contribute to the development of most economies.

     summary: Figure 1 and Figure 2 show that small firms export less, therefore any partition of firms according to SIC code will show that smaller firms export less than larger firms. They reasoned that “if minimum firm size is a necessary condition for export success, then exporting firms will be larger than non-exporting firms” in the same industry (Mittelstaedt, Harben, and Ward, 2003).

       words: 12402
      flesch: 51
     summary: Collective sensing involves a distinct process of sounding out (voicing and seeking responses from) those managers, and in this empirical study of collective sensing, we adopt a novel strategy-as-coping lens (Chia & Holt, 2006, 2009) within the SAP literature in articulating a process in which top managers of a United Kingdom MSE in the competitive building materials industry reacted in a business down- turn by collectively sensing for acquisition opportunities. Contributions of Collective Sensing We have drawn on a conception of problem solving among top managers of an MSE in suggesting how a stream of acquisition opportunities may be identified as a process of strategic management and development under uncer- tain operating conditions.

     summary: Given the perceived importance of small business e-commerce use by owners, mixed survey data regarding its use, and a notorious lack of theory in small business research (Zahra and Dess, 2001), the purpose of this study is to begin building theory aimed at better understanding the phenomenon of small business e-commerce adoption and usage through the lens of the small business owner. Further, a growing body of research indicates a shift in consumer behavior and business strategy where, through the use of e-commerce, “consumers locate, evaluate, and purchase a 32 STRATEGYJOURNAL OF SMALL BUSINESS far wider variety of products than they can v i a t r a

      flesch: 53
     summary: Since competitive advantages in small firms often re- volve around human assets (Simpson, Tuck, & Bellamy, 2004), and the firm’s intellectual capital, it is important for new small firms to recognize the benefits that can come from a diverse workforce. We propose that by valuing racial diversity and creating an inclusive organizational climate from inception, new small firms with growth objectives can increase their competitiveness, leading to better performance and long-term survival.

     summary: Recent literature reviews (Arregle, Duran, Hitt, & Essen, 2017; Pukall & Calabrò, 2014) further show that internationalization is an important strategic element in the pursuit of growth for family firms, yet the majority of studies describe family firm internationalization as fol- lowing the Uppsala model of internationalization (Johan- son & Vahlne, 1977). The internationalization of family firms has increasingly been recognized as an important field of inquiry for international business scholars.

      flesch: 43
     summary: Clearly, environmental sustainability reporting is a glob- al phenomenon. A result of environmental sustainability reporting is establishing baseline measures for GHG emissions (scope 1, 2, and 3), energy use, water use, and waste that will necessitate the establishment of initiatives to improve on the disclosed levels of performance.

     summary: First, do NEs and NIs possess different  expectations for firm growth, and if so,  how?  Second, do NEs and NIs engage in  different levels of planning formality?   Third, do NEs and NIs perceive  environmental uncertainty differently,  or possess different risk tolerances, and  if so, how?  Lastly, do NEs and NIs differ  with respect to the relationships  between uncertainty perceptions, risk  tolerance, planning formality and  expectations for firm growth, and if so,  how?    Growth Expectations    Expectations for growth represent  psychological attitudes relating to the  future course of an economic time  series, and are controllable to the extent  that the individual forming the  expectation thinks he or she can  influence the outcome via his or her  actions (Brimer, 1989).   Moreover, clearly when pursing  a new venture start‐up, the bottom line  for practice is not so much whether to  plan or not to plan, but rather the  sophistication of planning and the  influence for expectations for growth.

As such, and coupled with Hoy and Sharma’s (2010) observation of the centrality of beliefs, values, and attitudes toward entrepreneurship beyond founding leader- ship control, it suggests employee harmonious passion may be an essential focal point in future research toward under- standing what enables SMEs to persist and move toward professionalization.

Next to financial resources there are espe- cially human, social, organizational and physical resources of great importance for SMEs (Greene, Brush, & Brown, 1997).

     summary: As such, study findings will start to shed light on what types of business owners are likely to fail, persist, and voluntarily exit. Finally, social capital research indicates that business owners who are satis- fied with their networking groups are more committed to their firms (Pollack, Coy, Green, & Davis, 2015), acquire more resources (Davidsson & Honig, 2003), and are better able to adapt their firms for long term success (Stam & Elfring, 2008).

      flesch: 47
     summary: Given the liabilities of foreignness, at low levels of international diversity firm performance is reduced, whereas at higher levels economies of scope and access to resources generate accrued gains to the firm, thus implying a U-shaped relation. To the best of our knowledge, this paper fulfills a gap in the literature since it employs a set of alternative measures of international activity to examine the relationship between internationalization and firm financial performance.

     summary: Very little has been published about the  screening and decision making process  of smaller, and more typical Angel  groups in the United States.    While there have been many  recent empirical examinations of the  final investment and decision making  process for both Angel and VC investors  (e.g., Shepard and Zacharakis, 2002;  Volume 20, Number 2 Fall/Winter 2009        73    Sudek, 2006, 2009), the complexity of  the initial screening process has been  largely ignored, a somewhat surprising  phenomenon since the vast majority of  business plans and proposals are  screened out in these earlier stages.

     summary: In summary, it is clear that social influence is required for successful lead- ership (e.g. Côté & Hideg, 2011; Schultheiss & Brunstein, 2002; van Kleef, van Doorn, Heerdink, & Koning, 2011), and that nonverbal displays form crucial communicative skills for persuasion (Kopelman, Rosette, & Thompson, 2006; Overbeck, Neale, & Govan, 2010; van Kleef et al., 2015). Nonverbal communication, especially when conveyed through emotional expressions and social gaze, can lead to affective and inferential reactions, depending on the adequacy of the nonverbal signal (van Kleef, 2014; van Kleef et al., 2012, 2015).

     summary: Our research approach specifically considers what makes underdog companies unique in the eyes of the target customers in relation to the competition (their top dog counterparts) and combine these perspectives into the design of an underdog marketing strategy. Underdog companies should seek to develop and demonstrate their toughness in persistent fight- ing despite facing numerous external disadvantages and attempt to create a unique, rewarding customer experience out of limited resources.

     summary: According to Shenhar and Dvir (2007), factors such as compression of the product life cycle, global competition, knowledge explosion, corporate downsizing, and increased customer focus have contributed to a recognition of the importance of project management. In an attempt to explain the factors affecting project management practices and performance outcomes, recent research has focused on one important domain of project management: management effects (i.e., the “people” side of project management) (Cooke-Davies, 2002; Kloppenborg, et al., 2003).

     summary: Small businesses have been recognized as being uniquely suited for partnerships with other organizations due to many advantages such as a simple organizational structure, a focus on growth and continuity, flexibility, and central decision making (Gelinas & Bigras, 2004). While many federal contracts go to large, publicly-traded firms, small businesses are well represented.

     summary: Reaching this minimum threshold in the initial phase of export development indicates strong commitment to export growth. To remedy such unfavorable outcomes, entrepreneurs and managers should plan carefully not only initial entry on export markets, but also subsequent phases of export growth.

     summary: Insider trading can also serve as an effective way to incentivize and reward managers for increasing stock price, allowing them to profit from trading as they create information that improves firm value (Bainbridge, 2000). On the other hand, insider trading can impose costs upon the firm and its shareholders by decreasing the price liquidity of its equity in the open market (Bainbridge, 2000; Fischel & Carlton, 1982).

     summary: Radical innovation addresses innovations that dis- rupt the firm and its products and services (Dewar & Dutton, 1986; Meyers & Tucker, 1989; Subramaniam & Youndt, 2005), with the following items: innovations that make your prevailing product/service lines obso- lete, innovations that fundamentally change your pre- vailing products/services, and innovations that make your existing expertise in prevailing products/services obsolete. Small Business Context Although there is much research on innovation and small businesses, there is a noticeable gap specifi- cally examining variance in incremental versus radical innovation among small businesses as well as the ef- fect of control systems on small business innovation.

     summary: After controlling for baseline performance, a change in performance explained an additional 11% of the variance in outside board members, with a total variance of 21% (p < .05). Resource dependence theory explains the importance of outside directors on corporate boards, especially for small- and mid-sized companies.

     summary: Studies exploring the impact of ESG disclosure on various facets of corporate financial performance suggest that corporate ESG disclosure is one such type of value-relevant, voluntary disclo- sure (Orlitzky, Schmidt, & Rynes, 2003; Al-Tuwaijri, Christensen, & Hughes, 2004; Dhaliwal et al., 2011; Reverte, 2012; Kaymak & Bektas, 2017; Arrive & Feng, 2018; Egginton & McBrayer, 2019). These results contribute to the entrepreneurial finance literature, and agency costs for small businesses, by showing a direct relationship between ESG information disclosure and the cost of debt.

     summary: Startup innovation capability from a dynamic capability-based view: A litera- ture review and conceptual framework. But while startup innovation capability (IC) definitions and components are often implicitly addressed in different re- search fields, IC is barely identifiable as a distinct construct (Lawson & Samson, 2001).

     summary: Hence we argue that there is a level of agreed upon moral hazard, or agreeable moral hazard occurring in unicorns for goal con- gruence of disruption to continue. Not only does the concept of agreeable moral hazard provide theoretical im- plications for future research, but it also highlights the need for more research to test existing theory on the unicorn population.

     summary: Given these challenges to expanding our knowledge of small business social responsibility, we examine how the motivation orientation of small business owners translates to engagement in social responsibility for the small business with regards to societal, employee, and customer oriented social responsibility. This is echoed in the studies of small business social responsibility that highlight the role of enlightened self-interest in more societal-oriented social responsibility (Peake et al., 2015; Peake et al., 2017).

     summary: Small firms have an extremely high rate of failure— the average rate of survival for new firms is only two years and only 44% survive at least four years (Headd, 2003; Knaup, 2005; Sonfield, 2007). The U.S. federal government established the SBA to provide capital to small firms that otherwise could not ob- tain it (Craig et al., 2009).

     summary: In contrast, for females (although keeping in mind that the number of females in this sample not joining business member organizations is small), joining business membership organizations was not significantly related to any of our measures (see Table 6). The data show that the mean count of the number of business contacts in the CBDN is larger for those who belong to business membership organizations (see Table 4).

     summary: These findings suggest how individual family members’ characteristics and behaviors influence family firms and help generate heterogeneity in firm-level activities and outcomes. Research on innovation in family firms is growing rap- idly, but insights and conclusions remain tentative and pri- marily focused on comparisons with nonfamily firms (De Massis et al., 2012; Filser et al., 2016).

     summary: The discussion of women and STEM training presented serious concerns about the low numbers of young women who will miss out on high paying jobs in these fields later in their careers (Amatucci and Crawley, 2011; Coleman and Robb, 2012). Some of the notable trends in women’s entrepreneurship include their significant role in innovation driven economies, and the growth potential for the “missing middle” which represents the largest group of women entrepreneurs whose needs are not sufficiently addressed by existing entrepreneurship programs -- that are developed from male-based paradigms (Weeks and Riebe, 2007).

     summary: Rooted in sem- inal works on firm growth (Penrose, 1959), entrepreneur- ship (Schumpeter, 1911), employment (Birch, 1979), and regional development (see Storey, 1984), a growing litera- ture has called for greater understandings of SME growth and its key determinants (Davidsson & Wiklund, 2013; Wiklund, Patzelt, & Shepherd, 2009). This paper contributes to calls for a broader under- standing of SME growth in both academic and policy cir- cles, with specific focus on this question of process over outputs.

     summary: Professor Aldrich critiqued entrepreneurship research several other times – and found inadequate the methodologies that were applied. In other words, academic entrepreneurship did not fit the traditions and paradigms of the foundational b-school disciplines such as finance, accounting, management science, and to a lesser degree marketing.

Moving beyond gener- al passion, the concept of entrepreneurial passion has re- ceived scholarly attention during the past decade and a di- verse theoretical framework on entrepreneurial passion has been established, which includes: passion for work (Baum et al., 2001), the dualistic model of passion (Vallerand et al., 2003), entrepreneurial passion (Cardon et al., 2009), and perceived passion (Chen et al., 2009).

       words: 8930
      flesch: 39
     summary: But very few startups become IPO firms and the sources of prestige available to novice entrepreneurs and emerging organizations at the earliest stages of development likely differ from those accessible to IPO firms. Survival has often been used as an indication of legitimacy but this tells us little about how emerging organizations establish and build cognitive legitimacy: it merely shows or assumes an organization has legitimacy (Zimmerman & Zeitz, 2002).

OECD report (2016) also states that many SMEs are facing credit constraints though there is an improvement in SME Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) play a very significant role in boosting sustainable economic growth and development of any country.

In additional specifications of the model, we interact these clustering variables with generational indica- tors, to understand the extent to which these clustering ef- fects might be heterogeneous across Hispanic generations.

     summary: Investigating online financing intention is essential to help the financial institution identify the factors affect- ing online financing intention and predict the impact of the marketing mix perception on e-marketplace merchant in- tention. The results showed that besides having a significant effect on online financing intention, the marketing mix’s perception could also be developed by mediating subjective norms.

Yet despite such promise, evidence has emerged suggesting that new venture funding is a multistage process that entails systematic differences in perceptions between entrepreneurs and potential financiers (e.g., Eckhardt, Shane, & Delmar, 2006).

     summary: Collective organizational citizenship behavior is capable of energizing everyone in the family business, including family business owners, for them to continue to service customers in a person- alized way, and at the same time develop brand equity. One motiva- tional factor that could explain such a great effort and ener- gy in family business owners is the pursuit of a successful succession process over the next generations because cus- tomer loyalty and brand equity are relevant factors related to SMFE performance ( Harris et al., 2005; Llanos-Con- treras et al., 2019).

     summary: Entrepreneurial failure can be diminished if intuitive potential entrepreneurs are well oriented. Taking all the above in consideration, we can define intuitive entrepreneurship as a psychological behavior consisting of a decision process mainly guided by intuition in which experience has more weight than formation, especially in the early stages of company development.

     summary: Therefore, in the present Journal of Small Business Strategy Volume 23, Number 2 45 paper, we use the following as signals of franchise system quality: the performance of the franchise system as a signal of profitability (Brand and Croonen, 2010; Minguela et al. 2009; Rondan et al. 2010), and the failure rate as a signal of the risk assumed by the franchisee (Hsiao et al. 2012; Michael, 1996). Control Variables Finally, the time and sector were controlled with dummy variables drawing on previous research (Shane et al. 2006), which suggested the importance of controlling these variables in order to explain potential franchisees’ choice of franchise system.

     summary: More specifically, Putman and Goss (2003) state that social capital is a mixture of social networks and their associated reciprocity norms, which create value in the same way that physical and human capital do (p.14). However, this paper explores how social capital, the quality of institutions, and income inequality affect product innovation on behalf of entrepreneurs.

     summary: However, there is a gap in the understanding of an effective way to transfer these resources across generations; actually, existing studies on knowledge management in family businesses are scarce (Giovannoni, et al., 2011). The literature on family businesses needs more research on entrepreneurial processes, especially in the family firms’ entrepreneurial orientation (Nordqvist, et al., 2008).

     summary: Therefore, in this paper, we study how entrepreneurial growth intentions evolve over the venture’s life cycle, by utilizing insights from Gioia and Chittipeddi’s (1991) sensemaking- sensegiving perspective. Entrepreneurial growth intentions exhibit differences, at least in terms of outcomes resulting from them.

Given the outlook of small business owners at this time, having an internal focus may have been a mechanism for preparing for incremental growth (Sandberg, 2003; Venkatraman & Ramanujam, 1986) in the coming turn-around.

In a study of “deliberate practice” (individualized self-regulated and effortful entrepreneurial activities aimed at improving performance), Unger et al. (2009) identified education level as an antecedent of such behavior.

     summary: Risks of Customer Development from Biases and Heuristics To set the stage for reducing bias in decision making, we now examine some of the most significant biases and risks in customer development hypothesis testing and then, using the concepts of system thinking (Stanovich & West, 2000), we examine research findings relevant to Journal of Small Business Strategy Vol. 24, No. 2 28 reducing the bias in decision making.

     summary: Using a database of 42 companies of different sectors, 28 of them that maintained HQ and 14 that relocated, the study provides evidence that family firms under similar circumstances may make decisions to stay or relocate as a function of the origin of the founders and the production factors of the relocation region. Additionally, following the call from Jain et al. (2016), we include the impact of the governance structure, family firms and subsidiary, to deter- mine location choice.

Notwithstanding, ac- ademics and policy-makers have repeatedly expressed im- portant concerns about UBI feasibility, mainly due to high implementation costs (Calnitsky, 2017), but also about its desirability and uncertain effects at the individual and the Universal Basic Income (UBI) is receiving increasing attention as a policy alternative, both from academia and the general public, because its implementation would open the window for a systemic questioning of our current “social contract”.

     summary: Three elements are identified to integrate e-learning systems (Fee, 2009): technology, learning content and e-learning design. Indeed, the literature revised highlights the scarcity of research on e-learning design and more specifically on the didactic dimension in Universities.

     summary: Public networks must be built and maintained at organisation and network levels, but commu- nity-level stakeholders will ultimately judge overall net- work effectiveness. The advantage of pub- lic-sector networks is that many of the individuals who are employed by network organisations are professionals, with values and commitment to clients and the public good that often outweigh their commitment to specific programs or organisations.

Chrisman, Chua, Pearson, and Barnett (2012: 268) contend that the pursuit of non- economic goals, “are likely to reflect the values, attitudes, and intentions of a firm’s dominant decision-making coalition;” thus, the motives for family businesses to pursue CSR activities may reflect the family’s desire to engage in activities that align with their personal values or that may be seen as instrumental actions leading to reciprocity from community stakeholders.

     summary: In this respect, the gender effect on firm performance requires an empirical test to isolate the unique contribution of gender difference to cross-sectional variation in small business firm performances. Specifically, for the professional service industry, Fasci and Valdez (1998) find a positive relationship between owner’s prior work experience and firm performance in small accounting firms.

     summary: In addition to the interpretation provided in Table 5A, the following four conclusions can be drawn: (1) Marketing courses had a positive impact on students attitude towards innovation while the small business consulting course was found to have no impact; (2) the small business consulting course had a negative impact on students’ attitude towards achievement and self- esteem; (3) Neither course had an impact on personal control; (4) the overall, pre-test versus post-test analysis showed that both types of course work did have some impact on all four EAO constructs suggesting a multi-discipline approach will have a greater impact on attitude.

     summary: Although rural small businesses play a significant role in emerging markets, most do not survive for more than five years and have a high failure rate (Deller & Conroy, 2017; Nikolić et al., 2019). Thus, knowing the critical factors that contribute to the success or failure of rural businesses is crucial to the attainment of sustainable development (Salder et al., 2020).

To name a few, a low endowment of resources, such as in financial capital (Kungwansupaphan & Leihaothabam, 2016), human capital (Prasad et al., 2013; Tambunan, 2009), and social capital (Prasad et al., 2013) are all necessary for entrepreneurial development for women rural entrepreneurs and may be lacking in these settings.

     summary: For small businesses who operate with more limited resources and a higher propensity of risk of failure (Herbane, 2010), there is no doubt a crisis such as this has called for extraordinary courage, resilience, and tough-mindedness by small business leaders beyond the ‘normal’ mini crisis states of small businesses (Elkington & Breen, 2015). The study also included interviews with the leaders of 4 business support organizations who have an important stakeholder role supporting small business leaders through the pandemic, not least providing information on government regulations and sign-posting to resources.

     summary: To understand why startups are more likely to locate their business in urban areas, it is necessary to take a closer look at determinants that affect the evaluation of regional entrepreneurial ecosystems. Contemporary research on startup ecosystems generally focuses on urban areas and hubs such as Silicon Valley, Berlin, or Tel Aviv.

     summary: Although the evaluation of SBDCs is tangential to this paper, it is enlightening to review several of the evaluations of small business assistance programs involving SBDCs, primarily at the state level. As Bettis concluded, such financial performance measures as are being advocated as out- puts of an SBI program are usually highly correlated, therefore data collection can be done in an economical and relatively unobtrusive manner (1).

     summary: The case for using discounted cash flow capital budgeting techniques by firms has been extensively studied in the past by business researchers (14, 8, 20, 1, 17, 13, 11,12, 6) and provides a common core in any number of financial management textbooks. A final explanation for the slow adoption of discounted cash flow models is that small firms have a shorter planning horizon.

     summary: Fortunately, many of the elements of JIT production can successfully be applied to a small- firm manufacturing environment if the application is selective (5). The paper also discusses the findings of a survey of small electronic manufacturers and draws some conclusions about the underlying requirements of JIT production along with the numerous benefits that small manufacturers can achieve through JIT implementation.

     summary: STRATEGY Don't Mistake Business Plans For Planning (It May Be Dangerous to Your Financial Health) Bill Parks Philip D. Olson Donald W. Bokor University of Idaho ABSTRACT Most academic research concerning business plans suggests that business plans improve the performance of new firms, and virtually all textbooks related to small business advise entrepreneurs to prepare plans before starling a business. Furthermore, firms which prepared business plans were less profitable when entering the rapid growth phase than those which did not.

     summary: This particular paper focuses on pricing strategies (retail prices charged to consumers) and the determination of franchise fees (payments made to 25 franchisors by franchisees) in retail franchising organizations- a group of businesses which has been ignored in small business research. As a result, most franc hi sors now avoid dictating consumer price structures to franch i sees.

     summary: In addition, considerable attention has recently been focused on the role women play in the management succession of family owned firms. Hopefully, research in these and other areas of family owned firms will enhance our understanding of the ability of these firms to survive through successive genera- tionsns, as well as provide insight into some of the sources of tension between the family and business systems of family owned firms.

The issues of primary interest during much of the competitiveness debate focused on how management was responding to the intensifying competitive challenge through the selection and use of management techniques designed to improve manufacturing efficiency.

     summary: Prior studies that compared the ethical standards of business students versus business practitioners measured the ethical values of corporate executives and not those of small business owners (Arlow & Ulrich, 1980; Budner, 1988; Kassarjan & Kahn, 1989; Stevens, 1984; Sturdivant & Cocanougher, 1973). The majority of student consultants (65%) felt the company would keep the shutdown a secret, whereas the majority of small business owners (71%) thought the company would notify employees ahead of time.

     summary: Given the tentauve steps small business owners have taken in response to the growing diversity of the workforce, small business educators need to take the lead in I) inl'orming small business managers of the realities of the new workforce, and 2) explaining ihe rauonale for promoting workforce diversity and the steps to take in implementing a diversity program. The labor force's projected growth of female, mature, non-white, Hispanic, and Asian populations suggest that small business managers will need to educate themselves on how to adjust their business practices to manage and motivate culturally distinct employees.

     summary: Nonetheless, some of our findings demonstrated hypothesized links between strategy and small business manager scanning, but some of these linkages were not apparent. Other early research on environmental scanning demonstrated that small business managers tend to scan a wide variety of information sources (Junh & Lacho, 1975), but have lower levels of resources available for information gathering (Golde, 1964 ).

Therefore, a formal process of gathering information about employee work and private life needs should serve as the firm's starting point in determining overall policy in this area.

     summary: The second reason to study opportunity search is that small business owners are relatively less risk averse and more receptive to ambiguity than are managers of large firms (Schere, 1982). Additionally, Schere (1982) has shown that small business owners have significantly greater capacity to tolerate ambiguity than do managers in large organizations.

     summary: Using census data, Stone concluded that per capita sales increased faster in towns with Wal-Mart stores than in comparable towns across the state. Most recently, McGee (1995) examined the retail sales and tax data from small towns to determine the effects of Wal-Mart stores on communities in tive Midwestern states.

     summary: Robinson and Pearce (1984) reported that small business firms dominate the United States'ervice, construction, and retailing sectors; approximately 82% of all retailing outlets are sole proprietorships. PURPOSE As no research has focusedonorganizationalcultureofsmall businesses in general and on apparel retailing businesses specifically the present research was exploratory: I ) to identify common cultural dimensions across small apparel retail firms, 2) to develop hypotheses that can be tested further for understanding of small business culture profiles, and 3) to assess the eITectiveness of applying existing corporate culture theory to small apparel retail flrms.

     summary: Industrial goods companies deal with a smaller number of customers, suppliers, intermediaries, and other parties than do consumer goods firms (Gummesson, 1999). It is logical to expect that industrial goods firms will show greater responsiveness to long- term orientations of existing and potential constituencies by adopting a long term perspective in handling and dealing with them.

     summary: Leveraging employee knowledge as a source of competitive advantage is a strategic decision that must be made at the highest levels of an organization and then consistently worked into its architecture (Pfeffer, 1994; Collins and Porras, 1994). Often, leaders of small organizations clearly recognize the importance of meeting the objectives of financial stakeholders —an emphasis that is then driven home to the rest of the organization through budgeting and planning processes.

     summary: INTRODUCTION Over a decade ago, articles encouraging managers to tailor human resource practices to match business strategies began to appear (e.g., Fombrun, Tichy & Devanna, 1984; Schuler & MacMillan, 1984).This approach to human resource management(HRM), labeled Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM), details the mechanisms by which human resource managers can positively influence the fit between a firm's strategy and the environment (Jennings, 1994). Of particular value would be carefully grounded case studies that explore the experiences of small businesses in integrating human resource practices and strategy.

     summary: Smaller firms are then often divided into medium-sizedbusinesses, which employ 100-499 people and small firms, which employ less than 100 (Megginson, Byrd, Scott, & Megginson, 1994; Longenecker, Moore, & Petty, 1994). Our analysis revealed that the resources and structure of smaller firms significantly affect the types of service quality gaps that occur and the closure measures.

Sincegrowingorganizationstendto have fewer resources and need to respond more quickly to competitors and the environment to succeed, they use pay strategies that lower the fixed costs of base pay and increase variable pay leveraged by long-term, strategic goal accomplishment.

As the new vocabulary of competition, with its emphasis on agility, holistically, and synergisticallyresponsive operations begins to shape the way we think about small business, we are increasingly challenged to find new systems for adapting to change and working along with employees, customers, suppliers, and competitors.

     summary: Although less expensive, this approach will reduce the visibility of the business and its name recognition on the Web. CONCLUSION The Web's skyrocketing use and the growing frequency of references to Web sites with their specific locations in TV, radio, newspapers, magazines suggest it is moving from a passive marketing and distribution tool to one that is becoming increasingly proactive. Another way a business can attract visitors is to have other Web sites that attract similar customers link to its own site.

     summary: These discussions fail to recognize how these strategies should vary depending on resource type. Taken together, this work suggests the need for a more systematic and comprehensive framework of resources which can be used as a basis for investigating resource types, and exploring how these relate to different characteristics of the owner/founder(s) and firm.

     summary: Third, among the set of independent variables, the felt-fair-pay measure advanced by Jaques exhibits the largest correlations with the dependent variable of pay satisfaction (PSQ) in both of the samples - explaining 53 to 58 percent of the variance in pay level satisfaction as opposed to 17 to 19 percent for actual salary level based upon the coefficient of determination. Thus, pay satisfaction has emerged as a popular variable for use in organizational research (for reviews, see Carraher, Buckley, & Carraher, 2002; Heneman, 1985; Heneman & Schwab, 1979; Lawler, 1971, 1981; Miceli & Lane, 1991; Rynes & Gerhart, 2003).

     summary: we discuss some of the limitations experienced by firms implementing EVA systems, consider how these limitations apply to small businesses, and suggest some remedies small business managers may find effective. EVA LIMITATIONS AND REMEDIES EVA's popularity is based in large part on its alleged (Boston Consulting Group, Inc., 1996) relationship with market valuation. Consequently, managers who focus on accounting earnings frequently understate or ignore the cost of equity capital in their decisions, Since the early 1980's, this key to creating wealth, earning more than capital costs, has resurfaced as a driver of management decisions, particularly among large, publicly-traded companies.

     summary: Smaller firms are then often divided into medium-sized businesses, which employ 100-499 people and small firms, which employ less than 100 (Megginson, Byrd, Scott, & Megginson, 1994; Longenecker, Moore, & Petty, 1997). Indeed, small firms should only suffer a disadvantage, when compared to larger firms, when it comes to resource-intensive quality practices, e.g., training programs (Haksever, Cook, & Chaganti, 1997; Newman, 1988).

     summary: NATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOL NETWORK (NBSN) The Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) formed the National Business School Network (NBSN) as a network of America's urban business schools which links schools to share leamings and best practices about inner-city businesses and associated business school programs (Dean, 1997).NBSN believes business school students, faculty, and alumni can be important resources in assisting and starting companies that contribute to healthy inner-city economies. Such a leadership role by business schools would not only benefit their neighbors and their neighborhoods, but could also create important new relationships with the local government and the corporate community.

     summary: Small business entry strategies: An integration of technological discontinuity and industry growth potential. In one study, Lyles, Baird, Orris and Kuratko (1993) specifically found that small firms using formalized decision-making models were exposed to numerous levels of strategies, resulting in higher growth, For those firms inclined to pursue growth opportunities, pursuit of distinctive competence and competitive advantage may become critical.

     summary: Specifically, by employing moderated regression, the study can examine whether the relationship between the dependent variable, export performance, and the independent variable, TMT international orientation, changes across different environments. In the context of the present study, a significant increase in the amount of variance explained, measured as change in R'n Equation (2) relative to Equation (I), would indicate that the relationship between TMT international orientation and export performance varies in different environments.

     summary: Critics of large stores cite numerous examples of corporate-owned chains that have drawn trade from Main Street businesses and that have eventually brought about the closing of small, independently-owned competitors. Stone found that large stores in small towns draw customers from surrounding rural locations as well as from the town itself; similarly, a report issued by the Department of City Planning of the City of New York indicates that the suburban big boxes that surround that city attract urban customers.

     summary: This study indicates that there is opponunity for captive supplier firms through the proper use of strategy and planning to affect firm performance in a positive manner. When examining issues of scale and scope, it is readily apparent that small supplier firms often lack the resources of larger organizations and are frequently dependent on larger firms to provide a substantial portion of the firm's sales (Clark, 1989).

     summary: The second pattern is that, for most of the criteria that are statistically different, venture capitalists having a business background ranked financial criteria as more impor- tant than non-business background venture capitalists. The non-business background venture capitalists place greater importance on the uniqueness of the product, the cost structure of the project and the entrepreneur's health and less importance on exit procedures than business background venture capitalists.

     summary: Employee empowerment opportunities will, therefore, be defined as situations or forums designed by managers to encourage employees to join in negotiation and decision-making processes and experience actions and policy changes based on their deliberations. The criteria used in determining employee empowerment opportunities were: (I) participants are engaged in negotiation and decision-making processes; (2) decisions from the aforementioned engagement are implemented; and (3) employees perceive themselves as having been empowered from the perspective of their own self-efficacy and from fulfillment of outcome expectations.

     summary: Formal venture capital firms prefer to invest in firms that are in later stages of development than informal venture capital investors (Busenitz & Piet, 1996; Freear, Sohl, & Wetzel, 1995). While these assumptions may be valid for large public companies, the application of these assumptions to small firms has often been questioned in the literature.

     summary: This phenomenon is partly due to the high financing and communication costs for Mexican firms vis-6-vis their American counterparts. A by-product of this situation is that Mexican firms are becoming ever more aware of the advantages of developed markets through partnerships with U.S. and other global firms, rather than going it alone.

     summary: By exposing countless students to small, entrepreneurial ventures, the SBI has undoubtedly been a leading force in developing entrepreneurial spirit in business school students and integrating much of their disjointed traditional classroom experiences, but the SBI program has, in our opinion, oAen been undervalued and misunderstood by faculty and administrators. Value to Clients Several researchers have examined the use of business students as consultants from the client's point of view.

No i Spring/Sunimer 200/ and lower level managers attend sexual harassment training sessions; 1) employees in larger firms are more likely to understand the organization's attitude toward sexual harassment; g) employees in large firms are more likely to benefit from sexual harassment training; and h) larger firms had significantly more sexual harassment complaints in the last 12 months than did smaller firms.

Research by Bishop (2000) suggests that entrepreneurs and small business owners depend heavily upon intuition in managing new business ventures and small businesses.

     summary: Although the number of business bankruptcies each year (about 35,000 in 2000) is far less than the number of personal bankruptcies, the option of bankruptcy is something a small business owner or manager should understand, and these proposed changes in the bankruptcy law should be of particular interest to small business owners and managers, and to those who assist them. With regard to business bankruptcies, proponents of the changes say they will preserve the rights of creditors, by speeding up the payment of debts.

     summary: Disenfranchisement with Work The dissatisfaction that women entrepreneurs experience in working for others may be another explanation for differing goals between men who become business owners and women who become business owners. Existing literature also suggests that women and men possess roughly similar motivators pushing or pulling them to entrepreneurship and that women entrepreneurs differ from other non emrepreneurial ivomen m the same manner that men entrepreneurs differ from their male peers.

Given the increased environmental uncertainty faced by SMEs as they internationalize their operations (Johanson &: Vahlne, 1977; Hart & Tzokas, 1999), we expect TMT heterogeneity should be related to SME export performance.

     summary: The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study that examined small firm's use of bootstrap financing methods.

     summary: Furthermore, small firm board members familiar with general small business practices and principles will also provide greater monitoring capabilities to these sized firms due to their exposure and valuable experiences in similar capacities. They are likely chosen more for their provision of resources and less for the monitoring capabilities and thus we present the following proposition: Proposition 4: Small firm boards will have less autonomy over monitoring because directors will be more likely owner appointed.

     summary: Zulu-Chisanga, Boso, Adeola, and Oghazi present “Investigating the path from firm innovativeness to financial performance: The roles of new product success, market responsiveness, and environment turbulence.” The authors use data from a questionnaire to small- and medium-sized exporting firms in the United Kingdom and find that new product success is a partial mediator of the path from firm innovativeness to financial performance.

     summary: While export EO activity refers to a firm’s propensity to innovate, take risks, act proactively and aggressively, and encourage autonomous decision-making in export markets (Balabanis & Katsikea 2003), export MO relates to the processes that firms use to generate, disseminate and respond to market intelligence in foreign markets (Cadogan et al. 2009). However, despite the potential insights that this multifaceted export strategy offers for small business theory development and practice, the effects that high levels of both export EO and MO activities have on SME performance in export markets remains under-researched.

     summary: In this study, we examine the mobile optimization patterns of business websites for small and mid-sized enterprises (SME’s) in a major southwestern metropolitan marketplace. One might think that this would naturally extend over to business websites, but our evidence as well as prior studies, suggests that this would be an overly optimistic expectation.

     summary: As the success of supply chain management has increasingly become part of the competitive advantage of many firms, our work provides managerial insights to practitioners and researchers in the area of chain restaurant management where supply chain is often overlooked as a standard 'back-office function. These decisions fall into three categories (supply chain strategy, planning, and operation), depending on the time frame over which a decision category has an impact.

     summary: Their paper, drawing from a sample of manufacturing SMEs, supports the idea that small and medium sized firms with high levels of entrepreneurial orientation are able to capitalize on opportunities that yield higher levels of performance for the firm. The first contribution by Kilenthong, Hultman and Hills, “Entrepreneurial orientation as the determinant of entrepreneurial marketing behaviors,” examines how the entrepreneurial orientation of a firm drives the entrepreneurial marketing behaviors of the firm.

     summary: Research suggests that high performance work systems (i.e., a bundle of human resource practices) enhance organizational performance. Despite our limitations such as a lack of empirical evidence, we believe our review of common human resource practices that make up HPWS helps to answer our questions and demonstrates the following: human capital is essential to startups; startups need HPWS to enhance and develop excellent human capital; and rather than focusing on human resources practices on an as needed bases, systems of high performance work can enhance organizational level outcomes.

     summary: The fundamental proposition that underpins entrepreneurial orientation (EO) as a significant theoretical construct is that entrepreneurial firms behave in ways different from other types of firms. Within the field of entrepreneurship and, to a somewhat lesser extent, strategic management research, EO has come to be an important construct in the study of entrepreneurial firms or corporate entrepreneurship and performance (Wang, 2008).

     summary: Because the impact of human resources is more salient in smaller firms (Bendickson, Ligion, Muldoon, Newport, & Weaver, 2013), small firms that have highly integrated human resource management systems may find ways to leverage people and processes to create sources of sustained competitive advantage (Barney & Wright, 1998; McClean & Collins, 2011) by using HPWS to reduce the costs associated with turnover (Sels, De Winne, Maes, Delmotte, Faems, & Forrier, 2006). Results suggest that HPWS implementation enhances small firm performance via intellectual capital building.

       title: Two sources of overconfidence: Incorporating disconfirming feedback in an entrepreneurial context
        date: 2017-10-29
       words: 11147
      flesch: 54
     summary: Since overconfidence level may depend upon the specific question asked, we did not combine the sub- jects’ overconfidence on each question but instead allowed the distinct effect of each to influence our results. In other words, the overconfi- dence level before the disconfirming expert opinion had less of an influence on the change in overconfidence level for POC individuals than for NOC individuals.

     summary: Such findings are noteworthy because they (1) provide strong evidence that the presence of a corporate parent provides small firms the access to re- sources needed to engage in diversification, (2) advance scholarly understanding of the small firm diversification puzzle, and (3) are somewhat counter intuitive to schol- arly research that suggests independent firms likely want to diversify and parent firms would likely often discourage subsidiary diversification (e.g. Nippa et al., 2012). http://www.smallbusinessinstitute.biz Diversification in small firms: Does parental influence matter?

     summary: Significant relationships between family meetings and both planning processes and performance measures were found when comparing family businesses based on who participated in the family meetings - just holding meetings does not matter, but inclusiveness of those meetings does matter. Educational programs on how to build family businesses virtually always mention family meetings as a key to success.

     summary: Even though innovation research on family firms is slightly more ad- vanced than innovation research on non-technology-based small firms (De Massis et al., 2013), research on innova- tion in small family firms is almost non-existent. Multiple definitions of family firm exist in the literature (Mazzi, 2011) with the broader defini- tion of the construct suggesting a majority of private firms being family firms (Shanker & Astrachan, 1996).

     summary: To date, most studies on environmental scanning and information search activities have centered on large organizations. The individual standardized regression coefficients suggest that technological turbulence increases the frequency of information search activities significantly (β = .155; p < 0.05), however, competitive changes were found to be negatively associated with information search frequency (β = -.164; p < 0.05).
