- Over the past 10 years, Oosterhof and Todorov's valence-dominance model has emerged as the most prominent account of how people evaluate faces on social dimensions. In this model, two dimensions (valence and dominance) underpin social judgements of faces. Because this model has primarily been developed and tested in Western regions, it is unclear whether these findings apply to other regions. We addressed this question by replicating Oosterhof and Todorov's methodology across 11 world regions, 41 countries and 11,570 participants. When we used Oosterhof and Todorov's original analysis strategy, the valence-dominance model generalized across regions. When we used an alternative methodology to allow for correlated dimensions, we observed much less generalization. Collectively, these results suggest that, while the valence-dominance model generalizes very well across regions when dimensions are forced to be orthogonal, regional differences are revealed when we use different extraction methods and correlate and rotate the dimension reduction solution.

- More and more social Q&A platforms are launching a new business model to monetize online knowledge. This monetizing process introduces a more complicated cost and benefit tradeoff to users, especially for askers' concerns. Much of the previous research was conducted in the context of free‐based Q&A platform, which hardly explains the triggers that motivate askers' pay intention. Based on the theories of social exchange and social capital, this study aims to identify and examine the antecedents of askers' pay intention from the perspective of benefit and cost. We empirically test our predictions based on survey data collected from 322 actual askers in a well‐known trilateral payment‐based social Q&A platform in China. The results by partial least squares (PLS) analysis indicate that besides noneconomic benefits including self‐enhancement, social support, and entertainment, financial factors such as cost and benefit have significant influences on the perceived value of using trilateral payment‐based Q&A platforms. More important, we further identify that the effect of financial benefit is moderated by perceived reciprocity belief, and the effect of perceived value is moderated by perceived trust in answerers. Our findings contribute to the previous literature by proposing a theoretical model that explains askers' behavioral intention, and the practical implications for payment‐based Q&A service providers and participants.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the uncertain entrepreneurial ecosystem, scholarly knowledge is bounded by the sustainable growth of entrepreneurial enterprises. Moreover, there is a lack of consensus in academic circles on the relationship between entrepreneurial experience and entrepreneurial performance. In adopting the meta-analysis method, we found a significant relationship between entrepreneurial experience and entrepreneurial performance based on an investigation of 45 independent samples (N = 18,752). We also examined theoretically derived moderators of this relationship referring to firm age, industry condition and experience type to test whether the moderating effects can explain the inconsistent research results on the relationship between entrepreneurial experience and entrepreneurial performance. The relationship was stronger for the high-tech industry than for low-tech industry, for the early business stage than for late business stage and for start-up experience compared to management experience, work experience and industry experience. Our research findings are meaningful for practitioners to achieve sustainable growth by better preserving and coordinating entrepreneurial experience in a dynamic environment. Further, these findings are also important for future research to analyze the factors triggering the heterogeneity of entrepreneurial experience and to investigate the extent to which the start-up experience is more capable of promoting entrepreneurial performance.

- Under the context that entrepreneurial risk in clean energy industry has become increasingly complex, government subsidies are helpful to guide and promote the entrepreneurial companies survival and development. This paper explored the roles of government subsidies, more specifically, in forms of government subsidies beforehand and government subsidies afterwards on the relationship between Ramp;D and entrepreneurial companies growth, particularly in the clean energy industry. To delve deeper into the roles, this paper analysed data from the 2013 and 2014 annual reports of 58 listed companies in clean energy industries in China. By using a moderating effect model, this paper derived following conclusions: (1) Ramp;D investment does not have a lag effect on entrepreneurial companies growth; (2) Government subsidies beforehand have negative moderating effects on the relationship between Ramp;D investment and entrepreneurial companies growth; (3) Government subsidies afterwards have positive moderating effects on the relationship between Ramp;D investment and entrepreneurial companies growth. This paper helped to understand the difference between the functions of government subsidies beforehand and government subsidies afterwards. To some extent, the results can revise prior studies about the function of government subsidies to influence the relationship between Ramp;D and entrepreneurial companies growth. The results will also be helpful for the government to evaluate the performance of government subsidies and design appropriate subsidies strategies. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Network size, network density, and tie strength together determine the function of social network and affect the growth of entrepreneurial enterprises. However, how the role of network size, network density, and tie strength on the growth of entrepreneurial enterprises remains inconsistent, as well as the effect of organizational and personal network remains unclear. To solve these relationships, we employ meta-analysis to reach study goals by researching 31 independent samples from 28 references with 5,259 observations. Results have shown two main findings: (1) Both network size and tie strength have a positive and significant impact on the growth of entrepreneurial enterprises, while network density does not correlate with the growth. (2) Organizational network mainly plays a positive effect between network size and growth, while personal network plays a more significant role in the relationship of tie strength and growth than organizational network. These results promote managers to take productive strategies for entrepreneurial enterprises growth. Our study provides a meta-analysis to merge different sounds about the relationship of network properties to the growth of entrepreneurial enterprises, emphasizing moderators of organizational and personal networks among these above relationships. Thus, these findings make significant contributions to the field of entrepreneurship.

Risk preference, prior experience, and serial entrepreneurship performance: evidence from China
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Asia Pacific Business Review. - : ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD. - 1360-2381 .- 1743-792X. ; 29:3, s. 613-631

- Serial entrepreneurial performance is affected by serial entrepreneurs risk preference, but the way prior experience affects the relationship between the risk preference and performance remains unclear. Through regression analysis of 588 listed serial entrepreneurial companies in China, this paper shows that serial entrepreneurs who make more use of risk have higher serial entrepreneurial performance. For serial entrepreneurs with relevant industry experience, the degree of influence of their risk preference on serial entrepreneurial performance will be strengthened. For serial entrepreneurs with rich entrepreneurial experience, the degree of influence of their risk preference on serial entrepreneurial performance will be weakened. The results are conducive to the effective use of prior experience and reasonable adjustment of risk preference for serial entrepreneurial enterprises, thereby improving the performance of serial entrepreneurship.

- The influence of two different dietary patterns on maternal fatty acid (FA) intake on the composition of umbilical cord blood plasma phospholipids and transitional breast milk was investigated. A 7-day dietary record was completed in the last trimester of pregnancy by women living in an inland and a coastal area of south-eastern China. The FA composition in maternal diet was calculated using the 2002 Chinese food composition database. Cord blood and transitional breast milk samples were collected and their FA composition was analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. Mothers in the coastal area showed higher intake of long-chain polyunsaturated FA (LCPUFA) including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6omega) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA,20:5omega3) but lower linoleic acid (LA, 18:2omega6) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3omega3) than the mothers in the inland area. The intake of arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4omega6) did not differ between the two areas. LA, ALA, AA and DHA in breast milk of day 5 reflected the maternal diet except that the EPA content in breast milk at day 5 was similar for the areas. LA, ALA and AA were lower and EPA higher in umbilical cord plasma phospholipids in infants from the costal compared to the inland area. There were significant differences in maternal intakes of FA confirming different dietary habits, which influenced the FA composition of cord plasma phospholipids and transitional breast milk. Since FA influence gene expression the found variation implies that the long-term follow-up of this cohort will be interesting.
