“…Lastly, we also contribute to the burgeoning social entrepreneurship literature by uncovering novel performance antecedents of newly created nonprofits. Both theoretical and empirical works have considered the creation of NPOs as a type of social entrepreneurship (Mair & Martí, 2006; Mendoza-Abarca et al, 2015). To our knowledge, no social entrepreneurship study has investigated the performance effects of entry strategy in the nonprofit context.…”

“…First, our sample includes only NPOs founded within our window of observation. As T3010s do not report the age or founding date of organizations, we follow established practice (Gras & Mendoza-Abarca, 2014; Mendoza-Abarca, Anokhin, & Zamudio, 2015) by classifying new NPOs as those that began filing the tax form after the first year in the window, that is, organizations for which we have at least one year in which they did not file a T3010, and at least one subsequent year in which they filed a T3010. The validity of this measure is based on the assumption that all nonprofits file T3010s annually, as the law requires.…”

Product diversification is commonly seen as an expansion strategy firms adopt late within their life cycles. In this article, we elucidate the practice of employing a product diversification strategy from inception. We explore the performance effects of product diversification on newly created nonprofit organizations. Our findings suggest that being diversified from the start-up phase is, while detrimental to organizational efficiency, beneficial for organizational survival. We also find that the revenue strategy employed by the organization moderates the relationship between product diversification and survival. The study offers implications for researchers and practitioners regarding diversification as an entry strategy and performance assessment of new nonprofit organizations.

“…Prior research has used this specific measure extensively (see, e.g. Franquesa et al 2009;Mendoza et al 2015). As the extent to which innovation occurs may depend on dense individual networks (Johannisson 1998), we controlled for the log of population in each county.…”

For a sample of all 88 counties in the State of Ohio over a 5-year period, this study documents the effect of flagship enterprises and concentrated industrial clusters on regional innovation. Consistent with the agglomeration arguments and the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship, both appear to affect regional innovation positively. Additionally, regional educational attainment positively moderates the effect of industrial clusters on innovation. At the same time, flagship enterprises primarily affect regional innovation in regions with low education levels. Results are obtained with the help of conservative econometric techniques and are robust to the choice of alternative dependent variables and estimators. The findings have major policy implications and provide insights into alternative routes to encouraging regional innovation.

“…Although scholars such as Mendoza‐Abarca, Anokhin, and Zamudio () have lent a population ecology perspective to compare the creation of social and commercial ventures, more in‐depth, evolutionary studies of social ventures and hybrids remain scant. We address this gap by delving deeper into how hybrid organizations nurture enterprises and socially and ecologically mold the institutional environment.…”

Ten criteria derived from the evolutionary theory allow the comparison of the characteristics of hybrid organizations in India and the United States. The resulting taxonomy enables us to extrapolate management lessons based on our theory building initiative. We contribute to hybrid theory by discussing how hybrid organizations mirror nature. We extend our theoretical framework to social enterprise theory and naturological theory. Finally, we recommend strategies for hybrid organizations to enhance their resilience and balance different priorities.
