Managing external and internal change : lessons from entrepreneurship
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Research at the intersection of strategy, organizational theory, and entrepreneurship explores what facilitates the creation of high-performing entrepreneurial ventures. While prior research has recognized that the venture creation process is often characterized by change, the relationship between various forms of change and entrepreneurial performance remains an important area for further research. This dissertation begins to address this gap, investigating how the distinct changes faced by entrepreneurs relate to venture outcomes. This dissertation answers this question over two research projects, starting with a comprehensive literature review of how venture teams manage internal and external changes. The subsequent empirical study unpacks the role of external change. The empirical analysis uses a survey dataset comprising over one thousand entrepreneurial ventures to unpack the performance implications of a changing macroeconomic environment. This dissertation provides insight into how entrepreneurs address external changes and manage internal ones to create successful ventures. Overall, this dissertation contributes to entrepreneurship, strategy, and organizations research and practice.
