Sustainable Entrepreneurship: The Role of Perceived Barriers and Risk

2017

Entrepreneurs who start a business to serve both self-interests and collective interests by addressing unmet social and environmental needs are usually referred to as sustainable entrepreneurs. Compared with regular entrepreneurs, we argue that sustainable entrepreneurs face specific challenges when establishing their businesses owing to the discrepancy between the creation and appropriation of private value and social value. We hypothesize that when starting a business, sustainable entrepreneurs (1) feel more hampered by perceived barriers, such as the institutional environment and (2) have a different risk attitude and perception than regular entrepreneurs. We use two waves of the Flash Eurobarometer survey on entrepreneurship (2009 and 2012), which contains information on start-up motivations, start-up barriers, and risk perceptions of approximately 3000 (prospective) business owners across 33 countries. We find that sustainable entrepreneurs indeed perceive more institutional barriers in terms of a lack of financial, administrative, and informational support at business start-up than regular entrepreneurs. Further, no significant differences between sustainable and regular entrepreneurs are found in terms of their risk attitudes or perceived financial risks. However, sustainable entrepreneurs are more likely to fear personal failure than regular entrepreneurs, which is explained by their varied and complex stakeholder relations. These insights may serve as an important signal for both governments and private capital providers in enhancing the institutional climate.

“…First, it is not just the presence of entrepreneurial parents but also how their Bperformance is perceived that influences the offspring's intentions to follow the same career^ (Mungai and Velamuri 2011, p. 338). Second, there might be some important intermediary social mechanisms through which parental entrepreneurship affects offspring's career intentions (Johnson et al 2006). The entrepreneurial intention literature already suggests that exogenous personal or situational factors, such as parents' entrepreneurship or their perceived performance, usually have an indirect influence on intention, typically through one's perceptions of the desirability and feasibility of becoming an entrepreneur (Krueger et al 2000).…”

“…However, although numerous different theoretical mechanisms (Aldrich and Kim 2007;Laspita et al 2012) support a Bwell-accepted concept of positive self-employed parental influence on offspring's propensity to transition to self-employment^ (Mungai and Velamuri 2011, p. 346), accumulated empirical evidence remains mixed (Johnson, Parker and Wijbenga 2006). In fact, some studies have found that having entrepreneurial parents does not affect offspring's entrepreneurial career intentions or behaviors (Kim, Aldrich and Keister 2006;Kolvereid and Isaksen 2006;Kuckertz and Wagner 2010).…”

Parents’ performance in entrepreneurship as a “double-edged sword” for the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship

et al. 2017

We investigate how perceived parents' performance in entrepreneurship (PPE) affects the entrepreneurial career intentions of offspring. We argue that while perceived PPE enhances offspring's perceived entrepreneurial desirability and feasibility because of exposure mechanisms, it inhibits the translation of both desirability and feasibility perceptions into entrepreneurial career intentions due to upward social comparison mechanisms. Thus, perceived PPE acts as a double-edged sword for the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship. Our predictions are tested and confirmed on a sample of 21,895 individuals from 33 countries. This study advances the literature on intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship by providing a foundation for understanding the social psychological conditions necessary for such transmission to occur.

“…2 Other measures of the overall entrepreneurial dynamics widely used in empirical studies include business ownership, small business share, "nascent entrepreneurship" (see Gelderen, Thurik andBosma, 2006 andJohnson, Parker andWijbenga, 2006) and the preference for entrepreneurship (i.e. latent entrepreneurship).…”

ABSTRACT Entrepreneurship and the Process of Firms' Entry, Survival and GrowthThis survey paper aims at critically discussing the recent literature on firm formation and survival and the growth of new-born firms. The basic purpose is to single out the microeconomic entrepreneurial foundations of industrial dynamics (entry and exit) and to characterise the founder's ex-ante features in terms of likely ex-post business performance. The main conclusion is that entry of new firms is heterogeneous with innovative entrepreneurs being found together with passive followers, over-optimist gamblers and even escapees from unemployment. Since founders are heterogeneous and may make "entry mistakes", policy incentives sh...
