Abstract:

Entrepreneurial legitimacy has been described as a trigger of entrepreneurial career choice and motivation, meaning that the propensity of an individual to engage in an entrepreneurial career increases with the social legitimacy of the career. However, more than a predictor of entrepreneurial success, entrepreneurial legitimacy is a complex social construct that determines the diffusion of entrepreneurial culture in different countries. This article aims to contribute to contextualizing entrepreneurial legitimacy by acknowledging its social genesis and dynamics, and by showing the variety of s

Abstract:

This study explores how gay, lesbian and bisexual entrepreneurs develop specific skills in articulating the construct of appropriateness in relation to mainstream and gay culture. In comparing 90 French and American entrepreneurs, the author observed that the three groups identified – reconcilers, transcenders and resisters – demonstrated a set of original initiatives that challenge the mainstream political order in their opportunity exploration and exploitation processes. The construct of appropriateness may constitute a significant variable with which to study contrasts in commitment and per

Young and rapidly internationalizing firms, known as ‘international new ventures’ (INVs) or ‘born globals’ (BGs) have developed their ability to grow rapidly in international markets primarily because the entrepreneur and his or her team have established an international network. Based on six case studies of young technological firms located in the Rhône–Alpes region of France and using a qualitative method, this study focuses on the founders' capabilities in creating and developing an international business network.

Abstract:During the first half of the nineteenth century, the French economy underwent a major technological change, with small and medium-scale entrepreneurs driving the industrialisation by developing and exploiting new technologies. This paper examines the life of one such entrepreneur, Hector Ledru (ca. 1798 to 1876), who started out in the sugar industry of the post Napoleonic era. He soon morphed into an entrepreneur exploiting patents in the manufacture of wooden barrel manufacture, galvanised iron and metal pipes, before he settled on the manufacture and installation of central heating

Abstract In the last decades, entrepreneurship in all of its complexity, as a basis for sustainable development, has become a major concern for a variety of socio-economic agents: legislative systems, production systems represented by entrepreneurs from all economic sectors, and education and research systems. As a result, numerous fields of studies which aim to develop an entrepreneurial spirit among youth and to prepare students for entrepreneurship have been introduced in the educational curricula starting with high school.

During the period from Mexican independence in 1821 to the end of the French intervention in 1867, Mexico's primary tie to the outside world was based on trade.

The current literature on these nineteenth century merchants includes studies of foreign groups, such as the French, detailed case studies of individual entrepreneurs, firms and merchant families, and one work that provides a unique state-centered perspective on the Mexican/merchant nexus.

Three main institutionalist lessons can be drawn from a careful analysis of French colonial economics of the 19th century.

Abstract:

Purpose Subsequent to the First World War, the French Government regulated the Champagne industry, and locked the status of protected (and excluded) grapes into the new Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée system, forever altering the incentives and output of wine producers. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach As a result, some indigenous varietals have disappeared entirely from the region – and a handful remain only in the vineyards and bottles of a few bold entrepreneurs, constituting less than 1 percent of Champagne production.

Abstract:

Although it is argued that competitiveness and successful performance in the long term is facilitated if ventures engage in innovations in diverse domains (e.g., product, process, production, administration, etc.), the development of diversified innovation has been rarely analysed. As the entrepreneurs’ initial motivations to startup are likely to influence their subsequent entrepreneurial behaviour, this study aims to explore whether and how entrepreneurial motivations affect diversified innovation behaviour in startups. Using data on over 48,000 French startups, we present novel insights int

Abstract:

Mercantile activities, privateering and fishing in the ports of Ostend, Bruges and Dunkirk during the 17th and 18th centuries were often in the hands of migrants. Irish entrepreneurs, no longer welcome in their occupied home country, searched for opportunities elsewhere in maritime trade and, during war-time, in privateering. In both enterprises they proved very successful and developed international mercantile networks. In the wake of this emerging business, sailors from both sides of the French-Austrian border settled in these ports or migrated between Ostend, Bruges and Dunkirk to wherever

Abstract:

This article examines the extent to which venture capital firms (VCFs) learn from successful experience and when such experience influences the likelihood of future successful exits. To test our theory, we drew upon a novel dataset of young French VCFs and their investments. Results indicate that VCFs learn from success, but only up to a certain level of after which the benefits decline. We also found an adverse effect on future performance from the first VCF experience, if it was successful. Refuting our prediction, VCFs appear to learn better from significant, rather than small, successes. F
