This paper characterizes the relationship between entrepreneurial wealth and aggregate investment under adverse selection. Its main finding is that such a relationship need not be monotonic. In particular, three results emerge from the analysis: (i) pooling equilibria, in which investment is independent of entrepreneurial wealth, are more likely to arise when entrepreneurial wealth is relativel...

The research examines entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in Malay family firms by taking personality traits as the antecedent. This construct is used to explain the influence of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and its consequence towards firm performance. The impact of personality traits towards firm performance observed in Malay family firms is unique to the paper. In Malay firms, the relations...

This paper deals with the identification of effective entrepreneurial behaviors in hostile environments. Extant contributions argue that entrepreneurship is a complex phenomenon, which needs to be addressed in a multidimensional perspective (i.e. strategic posture, behavioral attitudes, economic performance, and so forth). Drawing from fifteen streams of research in the entrepreneurship domain,...

This study explores the specific value of women only programmes for the enterprise education needs of women in science and engineering and technology (WISE) through reviewing the impact of EnterpriseWISE, a women-only programme providing entrepreneurial skills training for scientists and engineers. EnterpriseWISE was designed as a specific intervention to raise, in a single-sex environment, the...

Nevertheless, so far, only a few studies, if any, have considered entrepreneurship as a success factor for construction enterprises, although the importance of the construction industry to the nation’s eco...

Todays FPGA technology allows reconngurable hardware to be integrated into standard PC hardware. A hardware like this allows for on-they reconngurable hardware. It is possible to remove and insert complete subsystems just by reinitializing the conngurable components. These systems make new demands on software that often can't be fulllled by the classical device driver concept used in todays ope...
