Entrepreneurial role models, fear of failure, and institutional approval of entrepreneurship: a tale of two regions (2016, background): “If we take the socio-psychological dimension of role modeling seriously (see e.g., Fornahl, 2003; Sorenson and Audia, 2000), observing a lot of failure might make entrepreneurship a less attractive career option.”
Industry structure, entrepreneurship, and culture: An empirical analysis using historical coalfields (2016, background): “Role models enhance the perceived attractiveness of entrepreneurship as a career choice among peer groups (for details, see Fornahl, 2003; Wyrwich et al., 2015).”
Industrial Dynamics and Clusters: A Survey (2015, background): “Indeed, it has been found that entrepreneurs in a region provide social role models with the presence of other firms that have ‘made it’, and a cultural environment where establishing one’s own business is normal and failure is not a social stigma (FORNAHL, 2003; VAILLANT and LAFUENTE, 2007).”
Effects of role models and gender on students’ entrepreneurial intentions (2014, background): “Fornahl (2003) further identified the presence of entrepreneurial role models as one the most important socio-cultural factors to play a role in entrepreneurship.”
Do different institutional frameworks condition the influence of local fear of failure and entrepreneurial examples over entrepreneurial activity? (2007, background): “The argument is that the ‘development and the related likelihood of discovering entrepreneurial opportunities and increasing the willingness to start a new firm is strongly influenced by positive examples, so-called role models’ (Fornahl 2003: 50).”
Entrepreneurship and role models (2012, background): “Several studies have attributed these differences between clusters, regions and countries to the existence and availability of role models (Fornahl, 2003; Lafuente et al. 2007; Sternberg, 2009).”
Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial ecosystems (2018, unknown): “In this regard, role models—positive regional entrepreneurial examples—are central (Bosma, Hessels, Schutjens, Van Praag, & Verheul, 2014; Fornahl, 2003).”
Entrepreneurship Education through Successful Entrepreneurial Models in Higher Education Institutions (2020, background): “Fornahl [20] noted the positive role that entrepreneurial examples play among the institutional factors influencing entrepreneurial activity.”
Entrepreneurship, Evolution and Geography (2009, background): “They provide role models with the presence of other firms that have “made it” (see Fornahl 2003; Vaillant and Lafuente 2007), and a cultural environment where establishing one’s own business is normal and failure is not a social stigma.”
Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Industrial Development: Geography and the Creative Field Revisited (2006, background): “…advantage of agglomeration, according to Cooper (2000), is that it facilitates the formation of well-matched founding teams of entrepreneurs; and Fornahl (2003) has pointed out that agglomeration enhances each entrepreneur’s ability to observe, assess, and learn from the successes and failures…”
The impact of role models on entrepreneurial intentions and behavior: a review of the literature (2020, background): “Role model literature focusing on contextual factors such as sociocultural aspects is concerned with the fact that the presence of entrepreneurs is one of the main factors promoting the creation of new ventures (Gnyawali and Fogel 1994; Bergmann and Sternberg 2007; Fornahl 2003; Sternberg 2009).”
Understanding place-based entrepreneurship in rural Central Europe: A comparative institutional analysis (2014, background): “A key institutional factor exerting a negative influence on venture development by rural economic agents is the lack of entrepreneurial role models in rural regions (Fornahl, 2003; Lafuente et al., 2007).”
Twenty Years of Rural Entrepreneurship: A Bibliometric Survey (2016, background): “…that many regions are entrepreneurially laggard, not only because of their physical disadvantages, but because of inadequate governance bodies and the sociocultural traits of their institutional framework, which make them non-conducive to effective entrepreneurial activity (Fornahl, 2003).”
Regional Social Legitimacy of Entrepreneurship: Implications for Entrepreneurial Intention and Start-up Behaviour (2014, background): “…positive role models through showcasing successful firm formation stories (VAILLANT and LAFUENTE, 2007), which can foster local entrepreneurial learning processes (SORENSON and AUDIA, 2000) and thus the development of local perceptions favourable to entrepreneurship (FORNAHL, 2003; MINNITI, 2005).”
Are regional systems greening the economy? Local spillovers, green innovations and firms’ economic performances (2016, background): “As Fornhal (2003) argues, agglomeration allows entrepreneurs to observe the others and learn from their successes and failures.”
Regional clusters in Germany--their geography and their relevance for entrepreneurial activities (2004, background): “Within the scope of a self-augmenting process, e.g. via role model effects of successful start-ups, and their interregional networking (see Fornahl, 2003), regional clusters of start-ups may form regions, in which the creation and development of start-ups is economically more favourable than…”
