Abstract
How can entrepreneurial firms in emerging economies effectively innovate, grow, and achieve high performance? In this dissertation, I conduct a detailed examination of the institutional and relational challenges that entrepreneurial ventures in emerging economies face as well as strategies they may utilize to overcome these challenges. Three distinct papers constitute the core of this cumulative dissertation. In the first paper, I examine how inconsistencies in the institutional environment affect entrepreneurial ventures' ability to innovate and achieve high performance. In the second paper, I examine how entrepreneurial ventures may establish new organizational roles and responsibilities in spite of contradictory roles and hierarchical positions in the social lives of the entrepreneurs that founded these ventures. In the third paper, I examine how the social relationships of venture founders may sometimes give rise to malfeasance—and how these founders may curb this distinct form of malfeasance. Taken together, I examine the institutional and relational challenges that entrepreneurial ventures in emerging economies face while also presenting insights on how such challenges may be overcome.
