Abstract

Foreign-born entrepreneurs are crucial for new ventures and regional growth. A key driver of their success is selection into business accelerator programs. We theorize that foreign-born founders with local residency and work experience are more likely to be selected by these programs. However, the institutional distance between an entrepreneur's host and the birth country reduces their likelihood of selection, whereas the entrepreneurial development of the host country increases it. We also examine the conditional effect of market learning capability. Evidence from 611 ventures in OECD countries supports our hypotheses, underlining the complex impact of foreignness on accelerator selection.

外国人的优势与加速器选择：外国出生企业家研究

外国出生的企业家对新企业和地区增长至关重要。他们成功的一个关键驱动因素是被企业加速器项目选中。我们的理论是，拥有本地居住和工作经验的外国出生创始人更有可能被这些项目选中。然而，创业者所在国与出生国之间的制度距离会降低他们被选中的可能性，而所在国的创业发展则会增加这种可能性。我们还研究了市场学习能力的条件效应。来自经合组织国家 611 家企业的证据支持了我们的假设，强调了外国因素对加速器选择的复杂影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
