Abstract

This paper examines whether and how heterogeneity within necessity- and opportunity-based entrepreneur groups affects business performance using a survey of 21,532 new firms in Japan. The major findings are as follows. First, business performance is not homogeneous among either necessity- or opportunity-based entrepreneurs. Second, the existing theory that necessity-based entrepreneurs tend to show poorer performance than opportunity-based entrepreneurs does not necessarily hold when considering heterogeneity within the groups. Specifically, among some types of necessity- and opportunity-based entrepreneurs, necessity-based entrepreneurs can even exhibit better performance than opportunity-based entrepreneurs.

必要性型和机会型企业家的异质性对企业绩效的影响

本文通过对日本21,532家新公司的调查，研究了必要性和机会型企业家群体内部的异质性是否以及如何影响企业绩效。主要研究结果如下:首先，无论是基于需求的企业家还是基于机会的企业家，企业绩效都是不相同的。其次，现有的理论认为，必要性型企业家往往比机会型企业家表现得更差，但考虑到群体内部的异质性，这一理论并不一定成立。具体而言，在某些类型的需求型和机会型企业家中，需求型企业家甚至比机会型企业家表现得更好。

期刊介绍： The International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal (IEMJ) publishes high quality manuscripts dealing with entrepreneurship, broadly defined, and the management of entrepreneurial organizations. The journal will expand the study of entrepreneurship and management by publishing innovative articles based on different perspectives using a variety of methodological approaches and showing the practical implications of the research for its readership. IEMJ is unique; providing a multi-disciplinary forum for researchers, scholars, consultants, entrepreneurs, businessmen, managers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship. The journal covers the relationship between management and entrepreneurship including both conceptual and empirical papers, leading to an improvement in the understanding of international entrepreneurial perspectives of the organisations concerned. Entrepreneurial studies are important in creating new economic activity that in turn increases innovation, employment, economic wealth and growth. The journal focuses on the diverse and complex characteristics of entrepreneurship in SMEs and large companies in local, regional, national or international markets that lead to competitiveness in the face of the effects of globalization. Though preference will be given to manuscripts that are international in scope, papers focused on domestic contexts and issues are welcome also, in order to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and potential generalizability of findings worldwide. IEMJ will publish original papers which contribute to the advancement of the field of entrepreneurship and the interface between management and entrepreneurship, as well as articles on business corporate strategy and government economic policy. On occasions, the journal will also feature case studies of successful firms or other cases having important practical implications. The journal places great emphasis on the quality of the papers it publishes. Submission of a paper will imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Officially cited as: Int Entrep Manag J
