We test our hypotheses through two studies with PEs. The first experiment shows that prioritization occurs, with 113 of 122 PEs voluntarily changing a randomized list of their ideated ventures into a rank-ordered priority list of potential opportunities. Second, we employ a novel “equivocal forced-choice” conjoint design with 250 PEs. We find empirical support that PEs prioritize via relative preferences for experience-based knowledge, strong social ties, and low risk/low reward venture ideas. We contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by theorizing and providing evidence of a prioritization stage for multiple idea sets before evaluation. Further, we demonstrate the influence of individual and social network factors on prioritization and expand our understanding of how PEs conceptualize risk in venturing.","PeriodicalId":48321,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Small Business Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42201602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Financing sources include internal funds, equity, different types of debt financing, and government grants. Specifically, this study examines differences in the impacts of CER on financing patterns for smaller and larger firms. Based on a sample of 15,082 firms covering 27 countries, our empirical findings indicate that environmentally responsible activities do not significantly affect financing patterns of working capital but affect the use of internal finance and almost all external sources for capital expenditures. Moreover, the impacts of environmentally responsible activities on capital expenditures vary across financial sources and depend on firm size. The revealed pecking order among financing sources and changes in the debt ratio offer valuable insights into the validity of capital structural theories for smaller and larger eco-friendly firms.","PeriodicalId":48321,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Small Business Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135552004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
