DESCRIPTION:Prof. Zur Shapira\, NYU Stern\n"Imprinting\, inheritance and p
 otency: A genealogical perspective on industry evolution"Abstract\nWe deve
 loped a theoretical framework of genealogical evolution of an industrial s
 ector\, exploring the ways in which new ventures are created along generat
 ional lines.  We argue that the evolutionary trajectory of an organizatio
 nal genealogy is influenced by the initial conditions at time of founding 
 and nature of members' affinity\, which affect the inheritance or transfer
  of organizational characteristics from parent to progenies. We constructe
 d nine main genealogies of the telecommunication sector of Israel’s Hi T
 ech industry and divided them into two groups – those that were establis
 hed during the institutional-cooperative economy period of Israel’s econ
 omy (1951- 1977) and those that were founded during the competitive-econom
 y period (1977 - 2005). Our findings show that competitive environmental c
 onditions lead to a higher entrepreneurial inclination among the founding 
 parents\, and that this inclination was disseminated throughout the geneal
 ogies’ trajectories via the imprinting mechanism. Genealogies that were 
 founded when the environmental conditions were competitive tend to grow fa
 ster than genealogies that were formed during the institutional/competitiv
 e period. In addition\, the entrepreneurial inclinations of the founding p
 arents mediated the effect of the environmental conditions on genealogical
  potency.
