心智模式与民营企业家自主创新

企业家是创新活动的倡导者、组织者、成果采用和推广者。企业家的自主创新不仅取决于能力,更取决于良好的心智。认识、改造民营企业家的心智模式,是洞察与适应现实环境的客观要求,剖析影响企业家自主创新的心理矛盾是推动企业家进行自主创新的前提,自主创新型企业家的心智模式应包括精神、意志、思维等因素在内的各方面素质的提高。     

私营企业主阶层的定位问题探析

当代中国的私营经济有其产生的特殊的时代背景 ,私营经济已经成为我国经济的重要组成部分。对私营企业主的定性应从我国实际情况出发 ,要把他们同历史上的资本家从本质上区分开来。私营企业主作为新生的社会阶层 ,在政治上属于劳动人民范畴 ,经济上是具有按资分配权的劳动者 ,也是国家的主人 ;在实现人民群众利益方面 ,作为“新富阶层”,私营企业主回报社会做出了自己的贡献 ,是有中国特色社会主义事业的建设者 ,也是党的群众基础之一。对私营企业主这样一支与社会主义社会长期并存的社会力量 ,中国共产党应当积极慎重地把其中的优秀分子吸收进党内。     

On the consequences of scarcity mindset: How ‘having too little’ means so much for ethnic venture failure

Drawing on the psychological concept of scarcity mindset as a lens, we explore UK-based ethnic entrepreneurs' accounts of their behaviors and choices to theorize ethnic business venture failure. Our findings suggest the constraints of ‘having too little’ entrepreneurial resources can induce three organizing tensions in organizing, community embeddedness, spatial and segment spawning, and dispositional optimism––which may operate in combination or serially to precipitate ethnic venture failure. Our findings contribute to research on conflicting demands in entrepreneurship by showing how resource constraints, sometimes played out in the form of enduring inequalities within markets and society-at-large stymies the conversion of contradictory yet mutually constituting demands in organizing into potentially productive outcomes.     

Identifying success factors for female entrepreneurs using the AMO framework: Empirical evidence from Japan

This study applies deep insights from the ability, motivation, and opportunity (AMO) framework as an overarching theoretical perspective to identify critical success factors for female entrepreneurs. In doing so, it investigates how entrepreneurial persistence (i.e., motivation or “M”), together with prior venture experience (i.e., ability or “A”) and competitive intensity (i.e., opportunity or “O”) influence the success of women's entrepreneurial activities. Using data from 308 Japanese female entrepreneurs, we show a positive association between entrepreneurial persistence and female entrepreneurs' venture growth, which becomes stronger when prior venture experience and competitive intensity are considered. Most importantly, the three-way interaction between these factors maximizes the business performance of female entrepreneurs. Thus, venture growth is the highest in the presence of high levels of entrepreneurial persistence, prior venture experience, and competitive intensity. Our findings suggest that policy makers should improve the competitiveness of women-led ventures and create supportive business environments for female entrepreneurs.
