Entrepreneurial Team Formation: An Exploration of New Member Addition
通过访谈探索创业团队新成员加入的过程,发现资源寻求和人际吸引是主要动机,并分析新成员的识别与选择如何展开。
We explored in this article the process of entrepreneurial team formation. As theory specific to this topic is scant, we drew first on disparate views of team formation and its correlates; we then called upon in–depth interviews to provide deeper, nuanced insights into this dynamic process of creation. Our focus is team member addition. We identified resource–seeking and interpersonal attraction as primary alternative motivators for new teammate addition; however, we also illustrated how these motivations may be complementary in practice. Finally, we considered in some depth how new member identification and selection processes may unfold as new ventures are formed.
