How do attitudes of habitual high-technology entrepreneurs to early-stage failure differ in Silicon Valley, Cambridge and Munich?Cotterill, Keith January 2013 (has links)
Entrepreneurs develop new technology ventures in uncertain conditions with unproven technologies and limited resources. The majority of such ventures fail, yet entrepreneurship is regarded as a national (and regional) engine for economic growth. This thesis aims to examine entrepreneurs’ attitudes to failure in order to reveal insight on how entrepreneurs learn and how they identify subsequent opportunities, and investigate possible regional differences in such attitudes and entrepreneurial responses. There is much literature on entrepreneurial failure but relatively little that is focused on attitudes to failure, the high-technology industry, or international comparisons. This thesis examines how entrepreneurs’ attitudes to failure in early-stage technology companies differ in the USA (Silicon Valley), UK (Cambridge) and Germany (Munich), and implications for entrepreneurial learning and opportunity identification in these regions. Interviews with habitual entrepreneurs explore their experiences of failed ventures, using a methodology from qualitative psychology - Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) - for the gathering and analysis of data to reveal emergent trends. This analysis is then used to compare attitudes to failure within and between each region, and a preliminary conceptual framework is proposed for analyzing future experiences of entrepreneurial failure. Findings from this idiographic study suggest that although each entrepreneur’s experience of and attitudes to failure is unique, there are more commonalities than differences between regions. Furthermore, these findings reveal the importance of the use of language and narrative in the analysis of such accounts. In addition, the results allow reflection on the appropriateness and limitations of methodologies such as IPA for this subject. This thesis contributes to theory by examining ‘effectuation’ as a way to understand these experiences, and discussing the impact of findings in relation to attribution theory, prospect theory and real-options theory. This thesis contributes to practice by augmenting existing knowledge of entrepreneurial failure through the comparative (regional) approach and the industry-specific (high-technology) focus. It may also improve the preparedness of new practitioners and entrepreneurs, with positive implications for future entrepreneurial success.

Lived experiences of failure among healthcare entrepreneurs: An interpretative phenomenological analysisVan der Linden, Edgar W.J. January 2020 (has links)
Venture failure has been studied from the entrepreneur’s perspective through
previous qualitative research. However, very few studies have considered the
specific business environment in which entrepreneurs operate. This thesis
addresses entrepreneurial failure and focuses on the EU healthcare sector.
The paucity of academic research combining the lived experience of venture
failure and the healthcare industry context, highlights the importance of this
study.
An interpretative phenomenological approach is used to provide situated
insights, rich details and thick descriptions of participants’ experiences whilst
allowing appreciation of the business context and development of common
themes. Through in-depth interviews with seven entrepreneurs, this study
develops a deeper understanding of what it is like to experience venture failure
in the healthcare industry.
Findings show that entrepreneurs were not only deeply affected by emotional
hardship, but also suffered from detrimental social consequences as a result
of stigmatisation and no longer being part of the healthcare industry. Findings
suggest there is a relationship between entrepreneurial optimism, post-failure
effects and longer-term outcomes, with a central role for healthcare entrepreneurs’
intrinsic motivation.
This work adds empirical weight to the existing body of entrepreneurial failure
theory. The exclusive focus on the healthcare industry adds a new perspective
to academic theory and is also of value to entrepreneurship practice.
Entrepreneurs’ genuine desire to make a difference in healthcare, despite the
industry’s complexity and the challenges it entails, deserves more attention
from policy makers, investors and other stakeholders in the healthcare
ecosystem. Finally, the insights derived from the narratives of entrepreneurs
who experienced failure, might help other entrepreneurs in their endeavours.
