Entrepreneurial Leaps: Growth Processes in Transition Phases Between Dynamic States
通过分析24个欧洲案例,研究了企业在动态状态间通过重新配置商业模式关键元素实现资源获取和市场拓展的过渡阶段,提出了创业跳跃的一般过程模型和四种典型模式。
We use a multiple case study approach to investigate “entrepreneurial leaps,” transition phases between dynamic states in which entrepreneurial action focused on reconfiguring key elements of the business model allows a firm to tap into new pools of resources through accessing and exploiting new market. Based on an analysis of 24 cases from three European countries, we derive a general process model of entrepreneurial leaps and identify four different patterns of how these transitions typically unfolds. The combination of dynamic states and entrepreneurial leaps can be used as a general framework for explaining nonlinear growth processes in firms.
