Emotion in strategic management : A review and future research agenda
- 2022
-
In: Long range planning. - : Elsevier. - 0024-6301 .- 1873-1872. ; 55:4
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Emotion in strategic management has attracted increasing scholarly interest during the past twenty-five years. Researchers have demonstrated the nature and significance of emotion in strategic management from a broad range of perspectives across different levels of analysis. Given the expanding research on the topic, the time is ripe to synthesize this diverse and multifaceted body of knowledge. In a thematic synthesis of the literature, we address the following questions: how does emotion influence strategic management, and how can the field be further developed? We review emotion constructs used in the extant literature and identify three themes related to how emotions influence strategic management: the nonconscious influence of emotions, emotion regulation, and collective emotions. Based on these themes and our analysis, we propose three areas of future research to inspire the field to develop further: (1) scope conditions of emotion research in strategic management; (2) capturing emotion in strategic management; and (3) the ethics, power and politics of emotions in strategic management.

Beware the community type : engagement and growth in core vs. open online communities
- 2024
-
In: Small Business Economics. - : Springer. - 0921-898X .- 1573-0913. ; 62, s. 1383-1407
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Entrepreneurs can benefit from the communities they build. Therefore, many entrepreneurs create online communities that allow self-selected stakeholders, such as customers, crowd investors, or enthusiasts, to interact with the venture and other like-minded individuals. However, research on how entrepreneurs can successfully engage community members and grow such online communities is only slowly emerging. In particular, it is unclear if, how much, and which content entrepreneurs should contribute to foster engagement in different types of communities and which role these community types play in the community’s overall growth. Based on a longitudinal case study in the video game industry, we first theorize and show that—depending on the community type—both too much and too little entrepreneur-provided content fails to leverage community engagement potential and that different communities require more or less diverging content. We then theorize and show that community growth is largely driven by engagement in open communities, such as those hosted on social media. We outline the implications this has for entrepreneurs, our understanding of online communities, and entrepreneurial communities more generally.

Business development in post-growth economies : Challenging assumptions in the existing business growth literature
- 2018
-
In: Management Revue. - : Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. - 0935-9915 .- 1861-9908. ; 29:3, s. 206-229
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Existing literature has not specifically examined individual business growth in post-growth economies. This paper challenges dominant assumptions in the business growth literature by considering post-growth economies as an organisational context characterised by natural resource scarcity and an absence of macro-level economic expansion. We investigate conceptually how such a context impacts business growth theory by seeking to answer three major questions: (1) What is business growth? (2) Why do businesses grow? (3) And how do businesses grow? Accordingly, post-growth contexts pose three major challenges to business growth theorising: (1) business growth as an increase in measurable outcomes, (2) resource competition and dispositive path dependencies, and (3) detrimental growth modes and strategies. Based upon six revised assumptions, we re-define business development in line with forces at work in post-growth economies. We further suggest a multidimensional research agenda that can catalyse future discussions of post-growth organisations. These discussions have the potential to overcome the inertia in business growth theory and its discrepancies with practice.

Business growth in practice : Navigating dualities in the process of development
- 2017
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Studying business growth from inception into establishment is challenging. We took up this challenge and studied a firm’s developmental process over the span of almost 17 years by analysing more than 860 weekly reports. Drawing on recent developments in the entrepreneurship-as-practice literature, our attention was on the activities and practices that supported the firm’s sustained growth. We find that the firm’s overall activity system periodically shifts in temporal focus between future, presence and past by navigating through four different dualities: (1) detail vs efficiency, (2) rigidity vs flexibility, (3) pressure vs relief and (4) prospection vs retrospection. As we emphasize temporal aspects, our findings extend current business growth theory by adding the dimension of past-oriented renewing to future- and presence-oriented entrepreneuring. We encourage practitioners to implement renewing practices during which they actively renovate and modernize obsolescent parts of their business.

Evolving new venture ideas : A process study of early venturing activities
- 2018
-
In: Frontiers of Entrepreneurship Research 2018. - Wellesley, Massachusetts : Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship. - 0910897441 ; , s. 98-103
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The following longitudinal case-study extends the judgement-based view of entrepreneurship beyond intra-individual cognition. It studies the actions and practices of two nascent ventures over the course of several months. A mixture of participant interviews and digital ethnographic methods provides detailed information about the actions and practices underlying the objectification, evaluation, and enactment of new venture ideas. The findings reveal multi-functional activities and practices that form ongoing iterations of objectification, evaluation, and enactment. These iterations of actions and practices establish the basis for shared understandings of new venture ideas.
