Abstract

Purpose This study aims to try and understand under what cultural conditions entrepreneurship will thrive and prosper, whether under shame or guilt cultures. Design/methodology/approach The authors use basic game theory to model the conditions under which entrepreneurship will thrive. The authors anticipate that guilt cultures allow for the development of a rules-based culture that allows for the development of impersonal exchange, whereas shame cultures, which are relationship-oriented, focus on strong ties and hence lack the means to expand firms from small and medium family/clan-based businesses. Findings Empirical results are completed to see whether guilt-dominating cultures are more conducive to having larger firms and whether guilt-dominating cultures have less informality. The authors find support for the latter but lack the right data to test the former. Originality/value The authors use a new measure of culture to see how it impacts entrepreneurship.
内疚与羞耻文化下的企业家与企业成长
本研究旨在试图理解在什么样的文化条件下,无论是在羞耻文化还是内疚文化下,创业精神会蓬勃发展。设计/方法/方法作者运用基本的博弈论来模拟企业家精神蓬勃发展的条件。作者预计,内疚文化允许发展一种基于规则的文化,这种文化允许发展非个人的交流,而羞耻文化以关系为导向,注重牢固的关系,因此缺乏从中小型家庭/氏族企业扩展公司的手段。研究结果表明,罪恶感主导文化是否更有利于企业规模的扩大,以及罪恶感主导文化是否具有更少的非正式性。作者发现了对后者的支持,但缺乏验证前者的正确数据。原创性/价值两位作者使用了一种新的文化衡量标准来观察它如何影响企业家精神。

期刊介绍: Institutions – especially public policies – are a significant determinant of economic outcomes; entrepreneurship and enterprise development are often the channel by which public policies affect economic outcomes, and by which outcomes feed back to the policy process. The Journal of Entrepreneurship & Public Policy (JEPP) was created to encourage and disseminate quality research about these vital relationships. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of the political discourse about entrepreneurship and development policies. JEPP publishes two issues per year and welcomes: Empirically oriented academic papers and accepts a wide variety of empirical evidence. Generally, the journal considers any analysis based on real-world circumstances and conditions that can change behaviour, legislation, or outcomes, Conceptual or theoretical papers that indicate a direction for future research, or otherwise advance the field of study, A limited number of carefully and accurately executed replication studies, Book reviews. In general, JEPP seeks high-quality articles that say something interesting about the relationships among public policy and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship and economic development, or all three areas. Scope/Coverage: Entrepreneurship, Public policy, Public policies and behaviour of economic agents, Interjurisdictional differentials and their effects, Law and entrepreneurship, New firms; startups, Microeconomic analyses of economic development, Development planning and policy, Innovation and invention: processes and incentives, Regional economic activity: growth, development, and changes, Regional development policy.
