A Longitudinal Investigation Of Business Angel Relationship Risk Mitigation Strategies Within Investments - A Three-dimensional Approach
- 2015
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Business angel (BA) investing is associated with various types of risks, where relationship risk often is highlighted as being especially critical (Fiet, 1995). Three investor strategies for mitigating relationship risks associated with BA investing in young private firms can be traced in the literature: (i) indirect control through monitoring and rewarding/punishing entrepreneur behavior and output, (ii) direct control through active involvement, and (iii) relying on mutual trust (Van Osnabrugge and Robinson, 2000; Maxwell and Lévesque, 2011). While early research in the field adopted a rather static view on BA categorization (Coveney and Moore, 1998; Sørheim and Landström, 2001), more contemporary research shows that BAs change investment roles across investments (Avdeitchikova, 2008; Lahti, 2011). However, whether BAs behave differently regarding risk mitigation within investments is less explored. This explorative study contributes to the opening of the black box of how BAs may shift risk mitigation strategies over time within single investments.

Emergence and Spread of Chlamydia trachomatis Variant, Sweden
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Emerging Infectious Diseases. - : Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). - 1080-6040 .- 1080-6059. ; 14:9, s. 1462-1465

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A variant of Chlamydia trachomatis that had escaped detection by commonly used systems was discovered in Sweden in 2006. In a nationwide study, we found that it is now prevalent across Sweden, irrespective of the detection system used. Genetic analysis by multilocus sequence typing identified a predominant variant, suggesting recent emergence.

Path Dependence in New Ventures’ Capital Structures
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Entrepreneurship: Theory and Practice. - : SAGE Publications. - 1540-6520 .- 1042-2587. ; 45:2, s. 319-349
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We explore new ventures’ capital structures, providing novel theoretical reasoning concerning path dependence. We examine a longitudinal sample of 1,756 Swedish startups and their use of external financing. We find support for path dependence in new ventures’ financial structures in that their early funding choices of subsidies, debt or equity, persist over time, with the strongest path effect for equity. In line with theory, those ventures who replace their CEO are more likely to change capital structures. Our study adds to the stream of research providing alternative explanations to prevailing theories of the evolution of new ventures’ financing structures.

Shifts in Business Angel’s Relationship Risk Mitigation Strategies within Investments
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- We explore whether business angels shift strategies within single investments in order to overcome relationship risks associated with investing in young private ventures. And, if so, what triggers such shifts. Primary data were collected from 32 interviews with four matched business angel-entrepreneur dyads. Extensive iterative theory and cross-case comparisons reveal that risk mitigation strategies consist of a mix of various degrees of direct, indirect and trust- based control mechanisms, which change over time within investments due to context-specific triggers. Two triggers emerging particularly strong from the data were (i) a shift of the angel's perception of the entrepreneur's ability, and (ii) the entrance of new investors. We theorize on these findings and derive seven novel propositions.

Capital Structure in New Ventures
- 2023
-
Ingår i: The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Private Equity. - Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9783030387389
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How new ventures are financed is a key issue for scholars and policymakers alike, as entrepreneurs’ preferences for and access to various types of funding have substantial implications for their survival, growth, and performance (Berger and Udell 1998; Cassar 2004; Manigart and Khosravi 2023). Capital structure concerns the combination of funding sources that a company uses to finance its operations, assets, and future growth. The capital structure of new firms is fundamentally different from those of established companies. Young, particularly innovative, firms have limited cash flow capacity and, therefore, must rely heavily on external sources to finance their ventures (Block et al. 2018).
