“…Several studies have applied various non-financial and financial performance measures for startups. However, few studies used employment and market performance dimensions such as market share and customer satisfaction as non-financial performance measures (Fritsch and Schindele, 2011; Ahmadi and O'Cass, 2016; Hendijani Fard and Seyyed Amiri, 2018; Lovgren et al , 2019) and financial performance measure as sales growth (Delmar and Shane, 2006; Butler et al , 2016; Lee, 2020). As a result, we anticipate more research examining the effects of internal and external variables on employment and other less explored outcomes.…”

“…The most frequently used non-financial performance measures are survival (Bates, 1998; Goldfarb et al , 2007; Amezcua et al , 2013; Mas-Verdú et al , 2015; Wamba et al , 2017; Acheampong, 2018; Pajunen and Järvinen, 2018; Adams et al , 2019), growth (Audretsch and Mahmood, 1994; Cressy, 1996; Vanderstraeten et al , 2016; Haeussler et al , 2019; Ferrucci et al , 2021), employment (Bosma et al , 2004; Fritsch and Schindele, 2011; Butler et al , 2016; Lovgren et al , 2019), innovation (Baker and Sinkula, 2009; Rezvani and Fathollahzadeh, 2020), market share (Hendijani Fard and Seyyed Amiri, 2018; Sarwoko and Nurfarida, 2021), customer satisfaction (Ahmadi and O'Cass, 2016; Hendijani Fard and Seyyed Amiri, 2018) and EM dimensions such as EM behaviours, degree of EM and frequency of EM (Kilenthong et al , 2016; Mahrous et al , 2020). Thus, non-financial performance used in the literature can be classified into operation-oriented measures, such as survival, growth, innovation and productivity and customer-oriented measures, such as market share and customer satisfaction.…”

“…La asistencia de estos programas evita el lanzamiento de ideas comerciales insostenibles, mejora la supervivencia de las empresas lanzadas y desarrolla la legitimidad percibida de los empresarios ante los socios comerciales. Además, los resultados implican que los PEA específicos son un enfoque político viable para promover la actividad empresarial en la industria agroalimentaria y que pueden ser especialmente adecuados para ayudar a los empresarios incipientes [19]. La producción local de alimentos es significativa no solo para un solo productor, sino también para el consumidor y, finalmente, para toda la región.…”
