“…Results demonstrate that experience may not be related to the firm's success, in fact, prior entrepreneurial experiences of the firm was found not significant with the growth in terms of employment. Scientists play a key role in the firm's activity, as we will observe later, but looking into their experience in research, the impact on early growth remain not significant (Scholten et al, 2015).…”

“…At the firm level is possible to find more authors that tried to explain the factors which effect the performances posing the accent on the firm idiosyncratic nature. This is the case of George et al (2002), Wang and Shapira (2012) and Scholten et al (2015) that analyzed the themes of network effecting performances, followed by Alegre et al (2011), Benghozi and Salvador (2014) and Subramanian et al (2016), Suzuki and Kodama (2004), Bonardo et al, (2010) which respectively analyzed the themes of knowledge management, industrial partnerships, diversity, innovation capabilities and mergers and acquisitions as determinants success factors of the SBFs. Durand et al (2008), despite not being the only one that performed a single industry sample analysis (see e.g.…”

Science-based firms (SBFs) are venture or corporation based on the development and commercialization of scientific discoveries that are exposed to the unique challenge to handle together business and science. Despite extensive efforts in the attempt to identify those factors that lead to the success of an SBFs the adoption of different definitions and names resulted in a lack of comprehensive picture on the determinants of SBFs' performances. With the objective to review the extant literature on SBFs’ performances and to understand what are the most appropriate parameters to evaluate an SBF, a systematic literature review adopting a comprehensive definition of SBFs was performed. The review, adopting an integrative approach, identified 30 papers published in top journals whose research questions deal with the determinants of SBFs' performances. Findings showed that determinants widely used such as net income within profitability measures, do not fully reflect SBFs performances and innovation abilities should be further investigated. Moreover, preconceived factors such as location and size have low or no impact on SBFs which opens the debate for more investigation. Also, the review identifies a comprehensive and multi-level set of determinants which allows delineating a number of research questions to be addressed in future research.

“…Additionally, specific human capital in the form of domain knowledge seems to enable entrepreneurs to leverage bridging ties (i.e., connecting otherwise separate networks) for growth (Scholten, Omta, Kemp, & Elfring, 2015). The combination of network centrality and extra-industry bridging ties in entrepreneurial teams with high entrepreneurial orientation has also been found to enhance new venture performance (Stam & Elfring, 2008).…”

“…To overcome these challenges, players in the team with previous start-up experience, i.e., those that have established a fresh and new venture before, are likely to accomplish better compared to those who lack start-up experience (Ucbasaran, Westhead, & Wright, 2008). This can assist the firm strategize its growth (Arregle et al, 2015) and overcome the critical junctures in the start-up process (Scholten, Omta, Kemp, & Elfring, 2015).…”

Drawing on theories from entrepreneurship literature, this paper explore which mechanism factors contributes to startup business from outside and inside trigger factor ecosystem. Logistic regression analysis method was applied to predict the startup of a business in selforganized enterprise using market opportunity, accumulation of experience and entrepreneurial resources as predictors using 710 samples. The results from the entrepreneur indicate that startup trigger factors demonstrated that all the three variables have a significant contribution to the prediction survey. Market opportunity, experience of entrepreneur and own current resources. Intuition of inside triggers and Startup capital, market opportunities, general training by government from outside of the opportunities that entrepreneurs have, easily enable them to startup a business.
