- Abstract
- What is the role of the state in entrepreneurship and venture performance? Prior empirical studies on entrepreneurship are limited in their answers to this question because they do not account sufficiently well for the variety of institutions, mechanisms, and features of local institutions within the state on the venturing process. Through three empirical investigations of Chinese technology ventures, my dissertation finds three roles that the state plays during the venturing process. Public-private institutions (science parks) play an intermediary role whereby these institutions connect private-sector entrepreneurs to public-sector resources. Public research organizations (Chinese Academy of Sciences institutes) play an integrator role whereby these institutions develop and transfer public-sector knowledge for use in private-sector commercial applications. Local governments (provincial governments) play an implementer role whereby these institutions tailor national policies to local markets. Taking these institutions and their roles together, I provide a more nuanced picture of the role of the state in the venturing process and in so doing, advance organizational theory, namely institutional theory, and its nexus to research on entrepreneurship and emerging economies. My dissertation's findings also have public policy and venture strategy implications, particularly for those policymakers seeking to promote entrepreneurship and for those ventures seeking to acquire public resources.
