Serial Entrepreneurs
研究了连续创业者(多次创办或收购企业的人)的行为类型,识别出三种模式:重复创业者、有机连续创业者和连续交易者,并分析了不同投资者角色。
This study focuses on the dynamic nature of entrepreneurship through an analysis of serial entrepreneurs, those individuals who engage in multiple start‐ups, management buyouts, management buy‐ins and combinations of these activities. The paper develops a typology of habitual entrepreneurship and then examines serial entrepreneurs in detail as a subset of such entrepreneurs. The processes involved and the effects of individuals undertaking sequential ventures are analysed. The study identifies three types of serial entrepreneurial behaviour namely venture repeaters, organic serials and serial dealmakers, distinguished by the motivations and the methods used to develop their ventures. Case‐study evidence from the study also indicates that the role of active investors varies according to the type of serial entrepreneur and venture.
