Systematic Search and Its Relationship to Firm Founding
基于美国新生创业者的代表性样本，研究发现系统搜索与成功创建新企业正相关，其通过适应性决策风格和社会资本发挥作用，并降低了环境不确定性。
This research uses a representative sample of U.S. nascent entrepreneurs to find that there is a positive relationship between their use of systematic search and their success in founding new firms. We control for mediating variables and find that searching systematically leverages firm founding by using an adaptive decision–making style and social capital. Systematic search also appears to reduce environmental uncertainty, which has additional important implications for aspiring entrepreneurs. Finally, this research suggests possible lines of future inquiry.
