"The Role of Advice Sources for Entrepreneurship and Innovation"
Abstract:
Entrepreneurial firms have been considerably involved in innovation—technological, service as well as business model—and innovativeness is regarded as a key factor for their success. Concerning the determinants of innovative performance, research pays much attention to the role of networks for new ventures. Firms that tap into these external sources of knowledge and resources are higher performers when it comes to entrepreneurial outcomes such as innovation. Although the network concept has gained much attention in business research in the last two decades and its contributions to entrepreneurship are well established, little research has addressed the dynamic nature of networks throughout time. Using data from entrepreneurial firms in MENA countries, this paper analyzes the relationship between external advice sources of entrepreneurs, as one aspect of networks, and performance in terms of innovation outcomes. We study it from a process dynamic perspective and investigate the relevance of different external advice givers throughout exploration and exploitation stages of the venture history.
