Title: | The evolutionary model of entrepreneurial firms' dependence on networks: going beyond the start-up stage | Authors: | Li, Dan Ferreira, Manuel Portugal |
Issue Date: | 2006 | Publisher: | Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | Neste artigo propomos um modelo
dinâmico da dependência das empresas
empreendedoras nas suas redes
relacionais. Primeiro, argumentamos que
cinco características das empresas
empreendedoras induzem a sua elevada
dependência nas redes. Estas
características incluem a orientação
empreendedora, o papel central do
empreendedor, limitações nos recursos,
procura de flexibilidade e enfoque num
nicho de mercado. Em seguida,
examinamos como o crescimento das
empresas empreendedoras é
acompanhado pela evolução destas cinco
características conduzindo a uma
alteração da forma como estas constroem
e usam as suas redes. Em particular,
examinamos a composição e a
estabilidade das redes relacionais das
empresas empreendedoras. Este artigo
contribui para a construção de uma teoria
mais integrativa de empreendedorismo. Dans cet article on propose un modèle resumo résumé / abstract Dan Li / Manuel Portugal Ferreira Kelley School of Business, Indiana University / ESTG – Instituto Politécnico de Leiria The evolutionary model of entrepreneurial firms' dependence on networks: going beyond the start-up stage dynamique de la dépendance des entreprises entreprenantes dans leurs réseaux relationnels. Premièrement nous faisons valoir que cinq caractéristiques des entreprises entreprenantes induisent à leur élevée dépendance dans les réseaux. Ces caractéristiques incluent l’orientation entreprenante, le rôle central de l’entrepreneur, les limitations dans les ressources, la recherche de flexibilité et l’approchement dans un créneau de marché. Ensuite, on examine comment est-ce que la croissance de la société entreprenante est accompagnée par l’évolution dans les cinq caractéristiques, en conduisant à une modification de la forme suivie par les entreprises entreprenantes pour construire et utiliser leurs réseaux. En particulier, on examine la composition et la stabilité des réseaux relationnels des entreprises entreprenantes. Cet article contribue à une construction plus integrative d’une théorie de l’esprit entreprenant. In this paper, we propose a dynamic model of entrepreneurial firms’ dependence on networks. First we argue that five characteristics of entrepreneurial firms result in their high dependence on networks; these five characteristics include entrepreneurial orientation, central role of the entrepreneur, resource constraints, pursuit of flexibility, and niche market focus. We then examine how entrepreneurial firms’ growth is accompanied by the evolution of these five characteristics leading to a shift in the mode through which entrepreneurial firms construct and deploy their networks. In particular, we examine the composition and the stability of entrepreneurial firms’ networks. This paper contributes to building a more integrative theory of entrepreneurship. |
