The role of social and human capital among nascent entrepreneurs - Davidsson and Honig

This is an exemplary, important, and highly-cited study that I am referring to colleagues. The findings have significant implications for how my educational institution redesigns its education courses, consulting, and broader environment for enterprise development and entrepreneurship. I am curious about how data mining might be able to eke out further subtleties from the data used in the study.

Abstract

This study examines nascent entrepreneurship by comparing individuals engaged in nascent activities (n = 380) with a control group (n=608), after screening a sample from the general population (n=30,427). The study then follows the developmental process of nascent entrepreneurs for 18 months.

Bridging and bonding social capital, consisting of both strong and weak ties, was a robust predictor regarding who became a nascent entrepreneur as well as for advancing through the start-up process. With regard to outcomes like first sale or showing a profit, only one aspect of social capital, viz. being a member of a business network, had a statistically significant positive effect. The study supports human capital in predicting entry into nascent entrepreneurship, but only weakly for carrying the start-up process towards successful completion.

Executive summary

Our knowledge about individuals who navigate various obstacles at the very earliest stages of entrepreneurial activity remains limited. Many people who begin the process of starting a new business fail to achieve their goal, while others are quite successful. Do individuals who attempt to start businesses begin with different levels of human or social capital? Do these endowments affect their rate of success?

Previous research excludes many of the efforts that eventually result in termination before the emergence of the firm. Therefore, the bulk of research, which comprises much of our knowledge of entrepreneurship, suffers from selection bias, the result of sampling only successful emergent entrepreneurs or enterprises. Further, efforts to examine start-up attempts ex-post suffer from hindsight bias and memory decay.

This study examined nascent entrepreneurship by first comparing individuals engaged in nascent activities (n = 380) with of a control group of non-entrepreneurs (n=608), both drawn from a sample of the general population (n=30,427) of Swedish adults. Within the group of nascent entrepreneurs, we then sought to explain differences in the frequency of gestation activities during an 18 month period, as well as two critical outcomes of successful emergence: first sales and profitability. Our primary objective was to help close a research gap regarding human capital and social capital influences on nascent entrepreneurs. We examined the comparative importance of various contributions and factors, such as personal networks, business networks, contact with designated assistance agencies, and taking business classes, on the likelihood of successful emergent activity. Our findings supported the role of formal education, as well as previous start-up experience, in predicting who among a cross section of the general population would attempt to engage in any nascent activities. In contrast, formal education did not appear to be a factor in determining success in the exploitation process, in terms of the frequency of gestation activities over time, nor in predicting those who succeeded with a first sale or a profitable venture. Other human capital measures, such as previous start-up experience and having taken business classes, were predictors of the frequency of gestation activities over time. They were not found to be important in determining the actual first sales or the profitability of the new enterprise, criteria we use to measure successful emergence.

Social capital variables were found to be very strong and consistent predictors in the analysis. We used measures for both bonding and bridging social capital, based on strong and weak ties. Overall, social capital was found to be higher in the nascent group than in the control group. Bonding social capital based on strong ties, such as having parents who owned businesses or close friends who owned businesses, was a good predictor in differentiating those engaged in nascent entrepreneurship from the control population, as was active encouragement from family and friends. Bridging social capital based on weak ties was found to be a strong predictor of rapid and frequent gestation activities, i.e., for carrying the start-up process further. Bridging social capital was also important in determining which of the nascent entrepreneurs would report a first sale or a profit – both conceived of as critical factors that determine successful firm emergence. Being a member of a business network such as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, or Lions, was significant and strong throughout the analysis. Those who were members of a start-up team were also more likely to have a comparatively rapid pace of gestation activities.

The findings from this study suggest that entrepreneurs would be well advised to develop and promote networks of all sorts, particularly inter-firm and intra-firm relations. Given the rapid changes and advances in communication technologies, and the increasing feasibility of entrepreneurs to work in autonomous, distantly separated environments, careful attention toward the promotion and development of social, network, and mentoring capabilities would seem prudent.

This research questions the value of many assistance programs provided to nascent entrepreneurs. Contact with agencies may be promoting bureaucratic activities, but failed to predict activities indicative of successful emergence, such as a first sale, profit, or even the speed with which the gestations activities occurred. Taking business classes was associated with increased activities, but failed to predict who had a first sale or who became profitable. Our research suggests that current efforts to promote entrepreneurial development may be “missing the mark”. A plausible interpretation of our overall results is that the further into the start-up process one gets, the more specific and idiosyncratic will be the resources and information needed for further successful completion of the process. National and regional governments considering intervention activities might be advised to focus on structural relationships rather than on programs specifically targeted to promote certain entrepreneurial activities, which may not be the most relevant in many individual cases. For example, they might be advised to develop business centers that focus on the facilitation of community and networking activities, thereby increasing each nascent entrepreneurs probability of finding the idiosyncratic inputs s/he needs.

A month of citations - September 2010

What a bizarre mix of reading has passed through my mynd over the past month! Of course, I haven’t read ALL these items over the month. For instance, I’ve just begun to read Spada’s biography of Streisand.The list is slightly atypical of my usual reading due to my role of organising a concert programme of French art song on Sunday 26 Sept. And in case anyone is wondering, my reading has lead me to reject the notion that the Great Pyramids are evidence of God (or aliens).
