“…The importance of signals sent by entrepreneurs is intricately linked to how they are interpreted by the receiver. Male and female entrepreneurs seeking finance might be perceived differently (Croucher et al ., 2020; Greene et al ., 2001). Studies focusing on signalling theory, as well on gender congruity theory, have suggested that investors may have gendered perceptions and thus expect the entrepreneurs seeking funding to be male (Eddleston et al., 2016; Hughes et al ., 2012).…”

Do firms with majority female ownership differ from firms with minority female ownership or male-owned firms in terms of perceived constraints on accessing finance? Using World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) data for Indian firms, our results show that there is no significant difference in male-and female-owned firms in terms of their perceptions about accessing finance. Yet, this is true only for firms with minority female ownership (less than 50%). Firms with majority female ownership do perceive more constraints on accessing finance relative to firms with minority female ownership or zero female ownership. Based on demand-and supply-side factors relating to business inexperience, weaker networking, and lender perceptions, as suggested by signalling and gender congruity theories, the results imply that majority-female-owned firms need to negotiate more for financing access, as they need to display positive signals for those investors who might possess stereotypical and gendered beliefs about the abilities of entrepreneurs. We also find that in relation to funding sources being one's own retained earnings or money from family and friends or advances from clients, majority-female-owned firms do not perceive financial barriers differently from male-owned firms or firms with minority female ownership.

“…Employee attitudes may also be affected by the strategic intent of M&As, especially regarding efficiency-oriented M&As that increase the likelihood of downsizing (Siegel & Simons, 2010). Negative attitudes towards M&As are more likely on the target firm side (Croucher et al, 2020), although it is possible for target firm employees to perceive acquisitions as opportunities, especially if target firm managers are responsive and promote the acquisition (Teerikangas, 2012). 1c.…”

This chapter presents a review of the state-of-the-art in the employee perspective on mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Our aim is to enhance the understanding of the role of employees in M&As. The chapter contributes by presenting a synthesis of how the employee perspective has been studied by describing the methods, the context (industry and geographic location), and publication outlets. Furthermore, the chapter contributes by synthesizing the employee perspective literature into five distinct research streams: 1) Employee reactions, 2) Culture, 3) Communication, 4) Knowledge, and 4) Speed. We reflect on the main findings of each stream and conclude by proposing future directions for research on the role of employees in M&As to (re)generate interest in the topic.

“…Considerable attention was paid to challenges related to fostering employee resilience. It was revealed that employees often understood reinforcement practices in different ways than managers expected (Young, 2020;Glaister et al, 2020;Borekci et al, 2021;Chen and Zhang, 2021;Rodigues-Sanchez et al, 2021). The managerial principles of anticipating the future direction of activity were analyzed (Denyer, 2017;Beuren et al, 2020;Parnell et al, 2020;Wicker, 2021;Leta and Chan, 2021;Abdalla et al, 2021;Salas -Vallina et al, 2022) and the influence of various circumstances of uncertainty on organizational resilience were discussed (Santoro et al, 2020;Skoloudis et al, 2020;Low et al, 2021;Župerkienė et al, 2021).…”

The past decade, the crowdfunding market was growing rapidly in the European Union, including Latvia. At the same time, crowdfunding had remained unregulated domain until the European Union Regulation on European crowdfunding service providers for business (henceforth -the Regulation) was passed in October, 2020, giving the Member States one year for its adoption, and additional one year for crowdfunding service providers for authorising under the Regulation. Nevertheless, by the end of 2022, there was only one licensed crowdfunding service provider managed by Latvian legal entity. Considering this, the goal of the study is to explore why the majority of existing crowdfunding platforms, managed by legal entities registered in Latvia, has not authorised itself under the Regulation. To achieve the goal, the methodology of the study combines in-depth analysis of the Regulation with an explanatory case study of crowdfunding platforms managed by Latvian legal entities. Having considered nine platforms managed by Latvian legal entities, the results of the study show that four biggest Latvian platforms have authorized themselves as investment firms. Among other platforms which are unlicensed for the time being, there could be only one potential candidate to extend the list of crowdfunding service providers authorised under the Regulation. The conclusion was made considering the business models of the providers, and presence or absence of an auto-investing function, which was restricted by the Regulation. An implication of the obtained results is the possibility that the research will serve as a base for future studies on the Regulation's effect on the European crowdfunding industry.
