Social Capital and Strategy Effectiveness: An Empirical Study of Entrepreneurial Ventures in a Transition Economy
Автор: I. Manev
Год издания:
Although new ventures’ competitive positioning and their founders’ social networks are both recognized as important in the context of transition economies, not much is known about their multiplicative effect on performance. We build on the strategic management literature and social network theory to develop theoretical predictions about the role of competitive strategies and social capital for entrepreneurial performance. These are tested with survey data from Bulgaria. We find that both the venture’s competitive strategic positioning and the founder’s networking positively influence performance. The hypothesized moderating effect of networking for the relationship between differentiation strategy and performance received only tentative support. Contrary to expectations, we find a negative moderating effect of networking for the relationship of cost leadership with performance. These results suggest that the entrepreneur’s network plays a role in shaping how strategies influence performance by possibly upholding differentiation and deemphasizing cost leadership strategy. Implications for managerial practice and public policy are discussed.

Minu Tokyo. Nahtamatu piiri taga
Автор: Maarja Yano
Год издания:
Pole lihtne armastada linna, mis sind esialgu eirab ja hiljem ahvardab sulle kaela kukkuda. Aga kas selleks, et uhest linnast kirjutada, pean ma teda tingimata armastama? Motlesin selle ule pikalt ja joudsin jareldusele: ei pea.Hetkest, kui loobusin kohustusest Tokyot armastada, hakkasin ma selle linna kaekaigu vastu huvi tundma. Tagasihoidlik huvi kasvas aja jooksul sumpaatiaks ja edasi juba leebeks kiindumuseks. Pidasin end ikka suureks unistajaks, aga ka oma koige lennukamates fantaasiates ei kujutlenud ma, et ulja naljana ette voetud projekt „Jaapani poiss aastaks“ lopeb abiellumisega samurai suguvosasse.Nahtamatu on see piir unistuste ja toeluse vahel. Millal saab fantaasiast tegelikkus, voorast inimesest oma, kaugest kultuurist kodu? Millisel hetkel saab lapsest taiskasvanu? Raske on margata, millal ma nendest piiridest ule astusin voi kas ikka astusin.Maarja Yano
