Evaluating Ventures Fast and Slow: Sensemaking, Intuition, and Deliberation in Entrepreneurial Resource Provision Decisions

Greg Fisher et al.

Summary: This paper examines the decision process of individuals evaluating whether to support entrepreneurial endeavors. It recognizes that these decisions are made under conditions of ambiguity and equivocality, making it difficult for resource providers to use a purely rational evaluative process. Drawing on insights from sensemaking and social and cognitive psychology, the authors present a theoretical model that combines sensemaking, intuition, and deliberation to explain the formation of entrepreneurial support decisions. The model takes into account individual and social factors that impact this decision process, providing a foundation for understanding such decisions across diverse actors and contexts.

Going beyond optimal distinctiveness: Strategic positioning for gaining an audience composition premium

Majid Majzoubi et al.

Summary: The core question in strategy research is how firms should position themselves to gain favorable audience evaluations. This study shows that firms can increase their evaluations by strategically adjusting their relationships with the audience, particularly by engaging with audiences who have positive predispositions towards them and gaining an audience composition premium. The research finds that gaining an audience composition premium is more important for enhancing a firm's overall evaluations when there is a higher dispersion in audience predispositions towards the firm.

The Promise of New Ventures' Growth Ambitions in Early-Stage Funding: On the Crossroads between Cheap Talk and Credible Signals

Simon Kleinert

Summary: The study suggests that expressing overly high growth ambitions may backfire for entrepreneurs as it may be seen as cheap talk and raises investors' credibility concerns. To overcome this, entrepreneurs can use costly signals, such as citing their experience or patents, to transform high ambitions into credible signals. Two empirical studies, based on equity crowdfunding data and a conjoint experiment, provide support for these arguments.

Talking about a revolution? Costly and costless signals and the role of innovativeness in equity crowdfunding

Francesca Di Pietro et al.

Summary: Drawing on signaling theory, this study analyzes the impact of costly and costless signals on crowdfunding performance. The findings from a study of 597 UK equity crowdfunding campaigns suggest that costly signals increase crowdfunding amounts, while costless signals have a negative effect. However, companies introducing radical innovations are not penalized for using costless signals.

HOW DO INVESTORS EVALUATE PAST ENTREPRENEURIAL FAILURE? UNPACKING FAILURE DUE TO LACK OF SKILL VERSUS BAD LUCK

Diego Zunino et al.

Summary: This study addresses the limited research on investors' views of entrepreneurs who have failed in the past and highlights an innate asymmetry between past failure and success. Experimental results in the context of equity crowdfunding show that prospective crowdfunding investors rationally integrate informational cues regarding past outcomes and entrepreneurial skill.

Categories and narratives as sources of distinctiveness: Cultural entrepreneurship within and across categories

Karl Taeuscher et al.

Summary: Cultural entrepreneurship theory supports the idea that entrepreneurial narratives need to be optimally distinctive for attracting superior demand. This study on Airbnb listings suggests that the relationship between narrative distinctiveness and demand-side performance differs based on the category's distinctiveness. In indistinctive categories, moderate distinctiveness is ideal, while in distinctive categories, highly similar or highly distinctive narratives are more effective.

Failed but validated? The effect of market validation on persistence and performance after a crowdfunding failure

Regan Stevenson et al.

Summary: This research investigates the impact of market validation on persistence and subsequent performance after a crowdfunding failure. The study uses both experimental and longitudinal field research methods to analyze the relationship. The findings suggest that market validation encourages entrepreneur persistence through affective activation and cognition-based action intentions, with expert validation strengthening this relationship. The field study demonstrates that market validation is a stronger predictor of post-crowdfunding failure performance compared to expert validation.

A Marginal Effects Approach to Interpreting Main Effects and Moderation

John R. Busenbark et al.

Summary: This report focuses on the marginal effects approach to interpret how a main effect is influenced by a moderating variable, aiming to resolve confusion and provide clear instructions. By using different scenarios and examples, researchers can better understand the relationship between independent and dependent variables over various values of the moderator using this technique. The marginal effects approach is demonstrated to be helpful in resolving conflicting findings that may arise from using other prevailing techniques to interpret both main effects and moderation.

Resourcefulness narratives: Transforming actions into stories to mobilize support

Greg Fisher et al.

Summary: Entrepreneurs often face resource constraints and use narratives as a critical tool to mobilize support from external resource providers. A resourcefulness narrative, which presents an entrepreneur as creatively using resources to overcome obstacles, generates positive emotional and cognitive reactions from external resource providers, increasing support for the venture.

Investors' evaluation criteria in equity crowdfunding

Kourosh Shafi

Summary: This article explores the importance non-professional crowd investors place on criteria related to a start-up's management, business, and financials, and suggests that they may tend to place more weight on factors that are easier to evaluate. Research findings indicate that fundraising success is most strongly related to attributes of the product or service, followed by selected aspects of the team, while financial metrics do not predict funding success.

Optimal distinctiveness in platform markets: Leveraging complementors as legitimacy buffers

Karl Taeuscher et al.

Summary: Research on optimal distinctiveness theory suggests that firms need to balance differentiation and conformity pressures for competitive advantage and legitimacy. The study on competing platforms in the MOOCs market shows that access to high-status complementors shapes the relationship between distinctiveness and user growth. Platforms can benefit from differentiation once they reach a certain level of legitimacy.
