Changes in the Time Allocation Patterns of Entrepreneurs
研究企业早期阶段中企业家时间分配的变化，基于三年全国性调查数据检验九项假设，对创业者和行为研究者有参考价值。
Organizational life cycle research seeks to explain changes in firm characteristics as the firm grows and matures. Unlike most life cycle research this paper focuses on changes that occur during the firm's crucial early stages. Specifically, we examine differences in an entrepreneur's time allocation as the young firm moves to later stages. This issue is important for two reasons. First, time is one of the entrepreneur's most valuable resources. Second, this approach fits with the growing popularity of behavioral research in entrepreneurship. Nine hypotheses are tested using data from a three-year, large-scale, nationwide survey of entrepreneurs.
