Abstract:
Previous research has generated a substantial body of knowledge regarding the exploration and exploitation of opportunities, two of the main manifest activities of entrepreneurship. This thesis does not primarily examine any of these activities; instead it investigates an important question regarding what happens between them. It seeks to answer why some of the identified opportunities are selected for exploitation. It does so by building on, and contributing to, a research stream that struggles with the link between the entrepreneurial activity of firms and theory about strategy. One of the m

Abstract:
<p> The purpose of this study is twofold. The first is to replicate and expand on previous studies by Rubenson and Gupta (1992, 1996) who introduced a contingency model for the initial succession of an organization. The second purpose is to verify that their model is applicable to organizations that are substantially smaller than the original 54 Fortune 1000 companies that were studied. The researcher used a qualitative research methodology to answer the following research questions. 1. Is the Contingency Model of the Initial Succession proposed by Rubenson and Gupta (1996) transferable to org

Abstract:
<p> The current funding situation for community college athletics and future funding remains unclear (Byrd &amp; Williams, 2007). The purpose of the qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences and perceptions of athletic directors to understand the financing issues with athletic programs. Sixteen athletic directors from the state of California were interviewed until the point of data saturation on the topic. Analysis of the interview responses revealed that managing the athletic programs, the budget, and Title IX are ways athletic directors can deal with the financi

Abstract:
<p> In the world of science and technology, the insertion and application of emotions into leadership in highly intelligent analytical technology leaders who are seen as lacking in social and interpersonal relationship skills is deemed to be desirable. This shortfall of social abilities reducing effective leadership could have a significant affect on the economy if these leaders fail to deliver technical projects on time and on budget. This study explored the relationship between the emotional intelligence of technical leaders and their leadership skills. It found that there is a likely positi

Abstract:
<p>New and small firms constitute the vast preponderance of organizations engaged in commercial transactions anywhere in the world, and yet the dominant explanatory frameworks have struggled to deduce how and why operational performance varies so widely among these businesses. Even organizations that emanate from similar founding conditions, possess identical parental lineages, or share competitive environments display startlingly high heterogeneity with respect to strategic choices, operational performance and survival prospects.

Abstract:
<p>Organizations work, interact, and depend on the environments that surround them. The quality, quantity, and type of resources attracted by the organization often misalign with needed resources and force the leader to make strategic choices and changes in order to sustain operations. Resource scarcities force organizations and their leaders to access resources from other actors in the environment and pursue new innovations that use alternative resources. This research applies a qualitative phenomenological approach to discovering the actual experiential process of 10 leaders as they faced th

Most women start a business without previous opportunities to gain leadership and management skills. This quantitative correlational study was an examination of woman-owned and &ndash;led small service-sector businesses in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to determine if there was a relationship between leadership styles, as defined by full-range leadership theory (FRLT), and organizational success.

Abstract:
<p> This study examined the process by which a technology company grows from a concept into a living enterprise in order to provide guidelines to technology entrepreneurs. A living enterprise is a mature and stable blue chip entity that is able to act on its own based on the structure of having a community involved in making business decisions. This study used a triangular selection process to narrow approximately 500 companies down to four companies. Using archival data to develop case studies, the growth processes of four technology companies (i.e., Apple, Microsoft, Oracle and Google) were
