  • The Effect of Corruption on Entrepreneurship in Developed versus non Developed Countries

    International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour & Research

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on the relationship between corruption and productive entrepreneurship in general and whether it depends on countries’ specific characteristics in particular.

    Design/methodology/approach – The authors used a unique data set of entrepreneurial activity within 176 countries, collected from the professional networking site LinkedIn. The authors used OLS regression to estimate the level of entrepreneurship. The main independent variable was the…

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on the relationship between corruption and productive entrepreneurship in general and whether it depends on countries’ specific characteristics in particular.

    Design/methodology/approach – The authors used a unique data set of entrepreneurial activity within 176 countries, collected from the professional networking site LinkedIn. The authors used OLS regression to estimate the level of entrepreneurship. The main independent variable was the CPI score (Transparency International). In addition, two sub-samples were used, 70 less-developed countries and 34 OECD countries, and numerous control variables.

    Findings – The paper makes three important contributions to the field. First, it proposes worldwide empirical evidence that countries with high levels of corruption usually face low levels of productive entrepreneurship. Second, the paper suggests that the negative effect is much more significant in developed countries than in developing countries. Third, the paper explores whether the negative effect of corruption depends on country-specific economic characteristics.

    Research limitations/implications – While there is significant value in using LinkedIn data in entrepreneurship research, there are limitations to this database. Therefore, significant robustness tests were employed and further research, for instance using longitudinal LinkedIn data, could be valuable. Moreover, using different entrepreneurs’ data sets might increase the validation of the results. Finally, further examination of the influence of corruption on different types of entrepreneurial activities and their interaction with different characteristics of the country is still required.

    Originality/value – The results stress the need to fight corruption not only in developing countries and suggests significant gains from anti-corruption efforts even and maybe especially in the western developed world.

  • The Stickiness of University Spin-offs: A study of formal and informal spin-offs from 124 U.S. academic institutions

    International Journal of Technology Management

    This paper examines the cross-university variation in spin-off activity by faculty members from 124 U.S. academic institutions, using a unique database including data on founders of both formal and informal spin-offs. Accordingly, the rate of spawning founders is positively affected by the quality of the institution and its departments, the R&D expenditure of the institution, and the strength of the local cluster. In addition, we find that institutions with higher license revenues also have…

    This paper examines the cross-university variation in spin-off activity by faculty members from 124 U.S. academic institutions, using a unique database including data on founders of both formal and informal spin-offs. Accordingly, the rate of spawning founders is positively affected by the quality of the institution and its departments, the R&D expenditure of the institution, and the strength of the local cluster. In addition, we find that institutions with higher license revenues also have more spin-offs. In contrast to the traditional literature, we present evidence that both informal and non-local spin-offs are common and significant phenomena. Moreover, we find that the local cluster size and the university quality both increase the probability of spin-offs. However, when the relative quality of the institution is higher than the relative quality of the cluster, the probability of local academic spin-offs decreases.

  • Evolutionary Policy Targeting: Towards a Conceptual Framework for Effective Policy Intervention

    Technology Analysis and Strategic Management

    The paper asks whether and how targeted, co-evolutionary approach can help overcome dynamic coordination and other failures that originate in coincidence with the emergence of a complex form of industrial organisation, be it an innovation system, cluster or a new industrial sector. More specifically, it builds upon Avnimelech and Teubal’s (2006) Extended Industry Life Cycle (EILC) model and the notion of evolutionary targeting proposed in works such as Avnimelech and Teubal (2008) and Rosiello…

  • Religion Institutions and Entrepreneurship

    Small Business Economics

    This article focuses on the impact of religious institutions on entrepreneurship. We find clear evidence that different religious institutions have a significantly different impact on the tendency to become an entrepreneur. Our paper makes important contributions to the research of both religion and entrepreneurship. First, it proposes empirical evidence in which the country's main religion significantly affects its level of entrepreneurship at the macro level. Second, it adds to our…

    This article focuses on the impact of religious institutions on entrepreneurship. We find clear evidence that different religious institutions have a significantly different impact on the tendency to become an entrepreneur. Our paper makes important contributions to the research of both religion and entrepreneurship. First, it proposes empirical evidence in which the country's main religion significantly affects its level of entrepreneurship at the macro level. Second, it adds to our theoretical understanding of the mechanisms that characterize the effects of religion on entrepreneurship. We suggest that macro effects of religion as part of the country's culture and institutions affect the country's level of entrepreneurship beyond the direct effects of religion on the behavior of the religion's members in the society.

  • Targeting the Biotechnology Clusters in North Carolina and Israel: Lessons from Successful and Unsuccessful Policy Making

    Technology Analysis and Strategic Management

    This paper analyzes the development of biotechnology clusters in North Carolina (NC) and Israel. In both NC and Israel, when the biotechnology was identified as a potential strategic priority, the framework conditions were suitable for successful policy-targeting.
    NC presents a case of a successful transition from a traditional manufacturing economy to a knowledge economy. The most successful part of this transition was a policy-led development of a biotechnology cluster in the Research…

    This paper analyzes the development of biotechnology clusters in North Carolina (NC) and Israel. In both NC and Israel, when the biotechnology was identified as a potential strategic priority, the framework conditions were suitable for successful policy-targeting.
    NC presents a case of a successful transition from a traditional manufacturing economy to a knowledge economy. The most successful part of this transition was a policy-led development of a biotechnology cluster in the Research Triangle.
    While Israel also presents a case of a successful transition from a low-tech economy to a knowledge-intensive economy, Israel failed to develop a successful biotechnology cluster. We suggest that this failure is mostly due to a failure to implement policy to encourage such development.

  • The Development of the Successful High Tech Sector in Israel, 1969-2009

    World Review of Entrepreneurship, Management and Sustainable Development journal

    his article describes the events and processes that led to the development of the Israeli high tech cluster. Understanding the Israeli cluster is important because Israel is probably the most successful example of replication of the Silicon Valley model outside of North America. It explains the development of multiple factors, including sophisticated human capital, technological institutions and an open, global environment, that were crucial for building the Israeli high tech cluster. This is…

It explains the development of multiple factors, including sophisticated human capital, technological institutions and an open, global environment, that were crucial for building the Israeli high tech cluster. This is most important for policy makers who want to learn about the successful structuring of a high-technology innovative sector in a small, open economy.

  • The Location of Knowledge Economy and High-Tech in Israel

    Societies in Motion: Innovation, Migration and Regional Transformation

    Knowledge-intensive activities are known for their tendency to concentrate in central locations. We analyze the location considerations of various categories of knowledge-intensive sectors, based on the Israeli experience. We find that as the activity of a company becomes more more knowledge-intensive, the geographical location pattern tends to become more concentrated in metropolitan locations and prime cities.

  • Venture Capital Hot Spots – Israel

    Handbook of Research on Venture Capital

    This chapter tells the story of the Israeli VC industry alongside the development of Israel’s ICT cluster. Interestingly, the VCs’ emergence in Israel was a policy-enhanced process, in the sense that a targeted Government policy was directed to this goal (Yozma Program, 1993-1998). Thus this case study may draw avenues for governments who wish to encourage entrepreneurial activity. Within the context of our paper, it is important to shed some light on the reasons that led to the success of the…

  • Regional Corporate Spawning and the Role of Homegrown Companies

    Review of Policy Research

    This paper presents the results and policy implications of a study that examined the spawning of founders who had previously been employed at large corporations. We found that spawning of founders is positively associated with the parent companies' productivity, innovativeness, and headquarter location. Furthermore, we found that the spin-off per employee rate is higher in smaller establishments. We also found that the local entrepreneurial culture is significant in explaining local spawning of…

    This paper presents the results and policy implications of a study that examined the spawning of founders who had previously been employed at large corporations. We found that spawning of founders is positively associated with the parent companies' productivity, innovativeness, and headquarter location. Furthermore, we found that the spin-off per employee rate is higher in smaller establishments. We also found that the local entrepreneurial culture is significant in explaining local spawning of founders. Finally, we present new empirical evidence on the crucial role of successful homegrown companies in regional cluster development. More specifically, we found that the existence of successful homegrown companies is significantly correlated with the level of the regional entrepreneurial activity. This finding is consistent with the finding of many cluster development case studies. Thus, we argue that successful homegrown companies have a unique role in cluster development. This role can seldom be replaced by nonhomegrown companies. This is related to the notion that prior to the development of an entrepreneurial cluster, some intangible precondition should be realized such as the appearance of local role models and a shift toward a more entrepreneurial culture. In a more general perspective, these results support the notion that knowledge-based regional development is a complex process that requires a long-term and continuously adjusting supporting policy rather than being based mainly on attracting established companies' R&D centers to the region.

  • Systemic and Evolutionary Interpretation of Venture Capital Development and Policy in Israel, Germany, UK and Scotland

    Science and Public Policy

    Despite many attempts to develop high-impact venture capital (VC) policies, most VC markets in Europe are still underdeveloped. Many of these policies were based on 'traditional' (Rosiello et al, 2009) VC policy involving a mix of monetary incentives and institutional changes. In this article, we present an alternative evolutionary VC policy, which is based on a dynamic analysis of emergence processes and on the co-evolution between VC and entrepreneurship, as well as on a dynamic and adaptive…

    Despite many attempts to develop high-impact venture capital (VC) policies, most VC markets in Europe are still underdeveloped. Many of these policies were based on 'traditional' (Rosiello et al, 2009) VC policy involving a mix of monetary incentives and institutional changes. In this article, we present an alternative evolutionary VC policy, which is based on a dynamic analysis of emergence processes and on the co-evolution between VC and entrepreneurship, as well as on a dynamic and adaptive view of policy. The article presents four case studies of VC development: Israel, UK, Scotland, and Germany. Evolutionary VC policies rely on few major factors: i) a strategic objective and a long-term commitment to enhancing VC market and high-tech cluster emergence and development, ii) a phased-policy portfolio including both direct and indirect VC-policy components, and iii) a dynamic policy process, which is adaptive to the specific context.
