Abstract

Teams and timing are considered decisive for firm survival. We investigate the impact on firm survival of entrepreneurial team composition, in terms of diversity, and the speed of entering markets. Unlike research analysing the effects of low or high diversity, our research understands new venture teams as configurations of multiple, concurrent dimensions of diversity by untangling it in variety, separation, and disparity. By identifying distinct survival and failure configurations, we demonstrate that team variety is functional for firm survival if challenged by separation or disparity.

让它发挥作用--创业团队面临的多元化挑战：配置视角

团队和时机被认为是公司生存的决定性因素。我们从多样性和进入市场的速度两方面考察了创业团队构成对企业生存的影响。与分析低多样性或高多样性影响的研究不同，我们的研究将新的风险投资团队理解为多样性的多个并发维度的配置，通过将其从多样性、分离性和差异中解开。通过识别不同的生存和失败配置，我们证明，如果受到分离或差异的挑战，团队多样性对公司生存是有效的。

期刊介绍： The European Management Journal (EMJ) stands as a premier scholarly publication, disseminating cutting-edge research spanning all realms of management. EMJ articles challenge conventional wisdom through rigorously informed empirical and theoretical inquiries, offering fresh insights and innovative perspectives on key management themes while remaining accessible and engaging for a wide readership. EMJ articles embody intellectual curiosity and embrace diverse methodological approaches, yielding contributions that significantly influence both management theory and practice. We actively seek interdisciplinary research that integrates distinct research traditions to illuminate contemporary challenges within the expansive domain of European business and management. We strongly encourage cross-cultural investigations addressing the unique challenges faced by European management scholarship and practice in navigating global issues and contexts.
