This article reviews the processes involved in interfirm learning and identifies an alternative form of alliance in which the objective is knowledge creation, not knowledge acquisition or transfer. Grounded on theories from sociology (relational governance) and educational psychology (jigsaw), the article develops an evolutionary model in which suc...

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the development of a strategically relevant theory of IPO valuation. We argue that the IPO capital market is fundamentally different from the more broadly traded exchanges in that the initial investors are not fully diversified and information is not symmetrically distributed. Our thesis is that the pri...

... Entrepreneurial human capital is crucial for novice entrepreneurs (e.g., Bosma et al., 2004;Colombo & Grilli, 2005Davidsson & Honig, 2003;Unger et al., 2011) and is more important for entrepreneurial success than general human capital (Rauch & Rijisdijk, 2013). It plays a pivotal role in various entrepreneurial aspects, including entrepreneurial intentions (Bosma et al., 2004;Florin et al., 2003), opportunity identification (Bhagavatula et al., 2010;Hoang & Antoncic, 2003;Ucbasaran et al., 2008), entrepreneurial success (Unger et al., 2011), venture growth (Colombo & Grilli, 2005Rauch & Rijsdijk, 2013;Unger et al., 2011), firm development and performance (Bosma et al., 2004), and is negatively associated with startup failure (Cooper et al., 1994).

By keeping a significant proportion of firm ownership, the founding families can retain control and effectively influence managerial decisions at these firms (Blumentritt, Keyt, & Astrachan, 2007;Nelson, 2003;Young et al., 2008). As a result, the controlling families are able to cater to and protect family values, reputation, and pride beyond financial gains in firm decisions (Berrone et al., 2010;Schulze, Lubatkin, & Dino, 2003;Strike et al., 2015). Gomez-Mejia and colleagues (2007: 106) introduced the concept of SEW to describe the "non-financial aspects of the firm that meet the family's affective needs," such as preservation of family pride and perpetuation of family values. ...
... Domestic and international networks can offer substantial synergies (Aslesen and Harirchi, 2015;Lasagni, 2012) to develop existing SME knowledge (Lubatkin et al., 2001) and provide development opportunities for existing products. Through this process, SMEs also develop their ability to adapt their product offerings to meet the needs of more global markets (Aslesen and Harirchi, 2015). ...
