TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated 6 of the 19 spin-offs from the 55 research centers at the University of New Mexico (UNM) in 1997 and identified two types of spin-off: (1) planned, when the new venture results from an organized effort by the parent organization, and (2) spontaneously occurring, when a new company is established by an entrepreneur who identifies a market opportunity and who founds the spinoff with little encouragement (and perhaps with discouragement) from the parent organisation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between market pioneering and firm performance and found that the performance of market pioneers and followers is affected by the fit between a firm's pioneer/follower status and its competitive tactics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a generalized actuarial decision aides that decompose a decision into component parts (or cues) and recombine those cues to predict the potential outcome, which can be used by junior associates or lower level employees.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relevance of the traditional marketing paradigm to smaller firms, in terms of market planning, the type of marketing practiced, and the use of performance measures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential effects of counterfactual thinking in the context of new venture formation, which refers to imagining "what might have been" in a given situation, reflecting on outcomes and events that might have occurred if the person in question had acted differently or if circumstances had somehow been different.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a sample of new banks at the point of inception in order to investigate the suggestion that initial founding conditions and decisions have a long lasting impact upon performance, and to gain an insight into the temporal endurance of these initial decisions and conditions by testing the extent to which the explanatory power persisted with time.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the extent to which entrepreneurs initiate changes along various dimensions of strategy, the nature of those changes and their implications for firm performance in new ventures, where it is less likely that a dominant approach exists.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the financial return of universities' taking equity in their spin-off companies, and the prevailing attitudes toward taking equity, and determined the financial reward of taking equity by comparing the value of equity sold in public spinoff companies to the return on an average license.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used theoretically justified criteria from the industrial organization (IO) strategy literature and applied it to a new domain, namely, venture capitalists' decision making, and investigated the types of information venture capitalists utilize when evaluating new ventures and how venture capitalists use this information to assess likely new venture profitability.

TL;DR: The authors studied the relationship between firm size and liquidity constraints by using a firm level data of manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai during the period of 1989-1992 and found that small manufacturing firms in Shanghai are actually less liquidity-constrained than their larger counterparts in financing their fixed investment.

TL;DR: Song et al. as discussed by the authors found that a positive relationship exists between the degree of ESOP stock concentration and the reduced risk-taking behavior of management, indicating that large outside beneficial owners or dominant stockholders can influence management to pursue higher risk-higher return strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate whether large firms in the U.S. telecommunications industry have been able to effect a transformation in their strategic performance over a 16-year period of time: 1975 to 1990.
