DESCRIPTION:Prof. Carolin Bock\, TU Darmstadt\nCDM Seminar:\n"Hope this E-
 Mail finds you well – An empirical investigation on the ambiguous influe
 nce of empathy on entrepreneurial success"\nSpeaker: Carolin Bock\, TU Dar
 mstadt\n\nHost: Marc Gruber\n\nAbstract:\nIs entrepreneurial empathy a mer
 ely good thing? In contrast to the hitherto predominantly positive view on
  entrepreneurial empathy\, psychology and management scholars have recentl
 y adopted a more critical perspective. Transferring their findings\, we p
 rovide a novel “too-much-of-a-good-thing” perspective\non entrepreneur
 ial empathy. We test our model against a dataset of 4\,725 real entreprene
 urs and demonstrate that empathy influences opportunity recognition\, eval
 uation\, and exploitation in an inverted U-shaped pattern. We also show th
 at these exploited opportunities then lead to higher amounts of financial 
 resources achieved. These findings provide strong evidence for considering
  entrepreneurial empathy as an important but highly ambiguous success\nfac
 tor.\n \nBiographical information\n\nSince 2015\, Carolin Bock is Profess
 or of Entrepreneurship at Technische Universität Darmstadt. Before\, she 
 was Post-Doc at the Center of Entrepreneurial and Financial Studies at Tec
