  • Looking Back: a Retrospective Narrative Analysis of Entrepreneurs' Failure Experiences   Order a copy of this article
    by Marcus I. Crews 
    Abstract: While failed ventures are reported as the most likely outcome of an attempt to create a new venture, there is a relative lack of research examining the failure experience from the entrepreneur's perspective. Using narrative analysis to examine entrepreneurs' first-person accounts of past failures, we find entrepreneurs attend to gains and losses within and across financial, operational, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions of performance when reflecting on a venture experience. In addition, structural analysis of entrepreneurial failure narratives reveals narrative arc differences in information disclosure (staging), story advancement (plot progression), and emergence and resolution of conflict (cognitive tension) that vary by type of failure an entrepreneur experiences. The present study contributes to the entrepreneurial failure and cognition literatures by identifying the content of entrepreneurs' personal frameworks for performance assessment and showing patterns in the psychological processing of varied forms of entrepreneurial failure. The study concludes with suggestions for future research.
    Keywords: entrepreneurial failure; public failure narratives; subjective failure criteria; mental accounting.

  • A Note on Resilience in the Face of Adversity When Small Droplets Trigger Big Changes   Order a copy of this article
    by Amélie Wuillaume, Alex Ferrito, Frank Janssen 
    Abstract: Disaster events, such as the Covid-19, have the potential to threaten lives and economies. Some people and ventures are disrupted while others react. This paper focuses on the response of such individuals and ventures to this unexpected pandemic. This research is specifically based on a detailed exploration of a large set of initiatives that have emerged in the face of the pandemic. These initiatives are either the result of the adaptation of existing ventures or have been newly created in response to the pandemic's consequences. The findings suggest that the conditions of Covid-19 prompted individuals and ventures to show resilience. This study shows that they adapt and develop initiatives that create value which differ in terms of (a) magnitude, (b) timeline, and (c) kind and describes the process that enables the quick response of these initiatives.
    Keywords: Adversity; Disaster; Resilience; Value Creation; COVID.
