Attainment Discrepancy and Investment: Effects on Firm Performance

“…History is replete with examples of successful businesses that were created during, or immediately after global crises, e.g., Dropbox, Uber, Airbnb, WhatsApp, Groupon, and Pinterest (OECD, 2020b); and some of the most successful entrepreneurs have attributed their success to the crises themselves (Elkins, 2017;Montag, 2018). Thus, crises may present opportunities, stimulated by the adversity (Apedo-Amah et al, 2020;Deb et al, 2019), that allow entrepreneurs to recover from the hardships caused by the crisis (Giones et al, 2020). In fact, over the last decade, interest in crises has substantially increased in entrepreneurship research; the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced an opportunity for a fresh look at this topic (e.g., Bullough et al, 2014;Davidsson and Gordon, 2016;Williams and Vorley, 2015).…”

“…Combined with women's more intense perceptions of hindrances to starting their businesses during periods of crisis (Drydakis, 2015;Giorgi et al, 2015), and their generally lower rates of business launches relative to men (Elam et al, 2019), there is a lower propensity for opening businesses among women entrepreneurs during periods of turbulence. This is true even though crises present exploitable opportunities (Apedo-Amah et al, 2020;Deb et al, 2019;Elkins, 2017;Giones et al, 2020) and hasten success through new ventures; i.e., crises bring about opportunities and impediments for starting a business in tandem.…”

The COVID-19 captured entrepreneurs by surprise, and shocked in the first months of the pandemic, especially women entrepreneurs; yet, the initial stages of the 'shock' that crises induce, are still underexplored in the entrepreneurial research, though critical for the further venture creation act. The genders' perceptions of opportunity, fear of failure and motivations before and during the pandemic, are employed to predict propensity to start a business during this crisis. Results comparing the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) datasets between 2019 and 2020 suggest that while pandemic has been found to affect women more severely than men, women's perceived availability of opportunities during COVID-19 emerged more tightly related to financial motivations, as their main impetus to start a business. These findings reinforce the relevance of the theory of planned behaviour and bricolage to the contexts of gender and crises. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…As adversidades decorrentes de uma crise podem gerar tanto oportunidades, quanto ameaças, devido a pressão externa para que as empresas se adaptem (DEB, et al, 2019). Sob a perspectiva do empreendedorismo as atividades empresariais podem ser adaptadas e com isso oportunidades podem ser aproveitadas, contudo os fatores internos e externos devem ser observados, pois influenciam tais atividades.…”

O presente artigo trata-se de uma revisão da literatura que tem como objetivo identificar os temas mais pesquisados, no período de 2015 a maio/2020, na literatura de empreendedorismo e inovação num contexto de crise. A pesquisa foi realizada em três etapas e a última envolveu o acoplamento bibliográfico por autores a fim de identificar a similaridade de temas publicados. Com isso foi possível identificar três grandes categorias de temas publicados ao longo do período de recorte, que são: alternativas para o empreendedorismo em períodos de crise e pós-crise; influência das políticas públicas no empreendedorismo e inovação em perídos de crise; e fatores que influenciam empreendedorismo e a inovação na crise do covid-19. A partir de uma melhor compreensão dos principais temas já pesquisados novas pesquisas podem ser desenvolvidas e outras abordagens podem ser mais exploradas para ampliar o debate sobre o tema.
