“…The German dataset (Zapkau et al, 2014) includes data from students as well as from professionals, whereas the Ethiopian dataset includes only student data. Hence, we decided to include only German and Ethiopian students in our cross-cultural sample in order to ensure sampling equivalence across countries as recommended by several scholars (for example, Schaffer and Riordan, 2003;Steinmetz et al, 2011). Data collection took place between June and December 2009 at a German and an Ethiopian University.…”

“…As primary data collection in cross-cultural studies is a challenging task, in all phases of data collection we considered best-practice recommendations related with cross-cultural studies as suggested by Schaffer and Riordan (2003). First, in terms of survey design, we decided for a common research design in both countries to ensure consistency (Steinmetz et al, 2011). For the sake of a clear and detailed definition of the population in both countries, we surveyed students which were close to graduation, and hence, were facing career decisions in the immediate future (Krueger, 1993).…”

The present paper examines how the influence of prior entrepreneurial exposure on entrepreneurial intention is contingent on national culture. Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior, we test our hypotheses on a dataset of 253 students from Germany and Ethiopia. We find evidence that individuals from individualistic societies preferably draw on their own entrepreneurial experience in establishing their entrepreneurial intention. In contrast, individuals from collectivistic cultures mostly prefer in-group-referenced resources and knowledge provided by entrepreneurial role models. Our study contributes to resolving previously inconclusive findings regarding the relationship between prior entrepreneurial exposure and entrepreneurial intention by considering culture as boundary condition.

Interim management utilisation, firm flexibility and its impact on firm performance

The utilisation of interim management increases steadily. However, its impact on firms' flexibility and performance remains unclear. Drawing on the flexible firm model, we derive hypotheses for the influence of interim management utilisation on the firm's functional, numerical, and financial flexibility. We test the hypotheses on a dataset of 294 German firms. Our results show that interim management utilisation is positively related to the firm's numerical and financial flexibility but not to functional flexibility at all. Moreover, results illustrate that functional and financial flexibilities are significantly related to firm performance. Based on our theoretical analyses and empirical results, we consider interim management to provide a fertile ground for future research. Thus, we encourage future research to apply different theoretical lenses to shed light on the complex topic of interim management.
