Entrepreneurship, Evolution and Geography (2009, background): “This prior experience (Shane 2000) and personal networks are likely to be acquired during the entrepreneur’s career in existing organizations (Agarwal et al. 2004; Gompers et al. 2005; Klepper 2001).”
Are You Experienced? Prior Experience and the Survival of New Organizations (2007, methodology): “There is a significantly higher percentage of spin-offs from better performing firms than from poor performing firms, which supports Klepper (2001). The distribution of the observations across the seven-level industry classification shows that machinery and electronics, and wood, paper and graphics ”
Collaborative Networks as Determinants of Knowledge Diffusion Patterns (2005, positive): “Mobility of individuals has been shown to be one mechanism through which knowledge gets acquired by existing firms (Saxenian, 1994; Almeida and Kogut, 1999; Rosenkopf and Almeida, 2003) as well as start-ups (Klepper, 2001; Gompers, Lerner and Scharfstein, 2002).”
The dynamic impact of innovative capability and inter-firm network on firm valuation: A longitudinal study of biotechnology start-ups (2010, background): “It is often considered as the result of organizational learning from either own experience or others' experience (Klepper, 2001; Levitt and March, 1988).”
Entrepreneurship and the Process of Firms' Entry, Survival and Growth (2007, positive): “…at their first job experience, previously ceased entrepreneurs and founders moving from an outside region (see Cooper, Woo and Dunkelberg, 1989; Vivarelli, 1991; Garofoli, 1994; Storey, 1994; Cressy, 1996; Arrighetti and Vivarelli, 1999; Shane, 2000; Klepper, 2001; Helfat and Lieberman, 2002).”
Intrapreneurship or Entrepreneurship? (2009, positive): “…a¤ect contracting between employees and employers; transferable human capital and limited asset complementarity within existing rms; and organizational limitations of incumbents such as bureaucracy and rigid routines (Henderson 1993; Anton and Yao 1995; Klepper 2001; Helfat and Lieberman 2002).”
Institutional complementarity and inventive performance in nano science and technology (2007, background): “…et al. 2002; Zucker and Darby 1996), chemical and electrical engineering (Kenney and Goe 2004; Mowery and Rosenberg 1998) semiconductor and laser (Klepper 2001), and medical instruments (Trajtenberg, 1990) illustrated important examples in which the very definition of industrial applications was…”
Muppets and gazelles: political and methodological biases in entrepreneurship research (2014, background): “11 This view is supported by Hvide (2009) who shows that low-quality entrepreneurs emerge from small firms, while high-quality entrepreneurs emerge from large firms (see also Klepper, 2001).”
The birth of capabilities: market entry and the importance of pre-history (2002, background): “Klepper (2001) has noted that entrepreneurial spin-offs with multiple founders appear to perform better—again, consistent with the importance of the pre-entry experience of founders. The foregoing results leave open the question of how pre-entry experience enhances post-entry performance. In an intr”
Is entrepreneurship necessarily good? Microeconomic evidence from developed and developing countries (2013, background): “Klepper and S. Hayward (2011), ‘Founder backgrounds and the evolution of firm size,’ Industrial and Corporate Change, 20, 1515–1538.”
A theoretical framework for evolutionary economic geography: industrial dynamics and urban growth as a branching process (2007, background): “…from existing firms as evidenced by the correlation of the performance of parent firms and their spin-offs D ow nloaded from https://academ ic.oup.com /joeg/article-abstract/7/5/635/1005700 by U niversiteitsbibliotheek U trecht user on 26 N ovem ber 2019 (Klepper, 2001; Klepper and Sleeper, 2005).”
The Schumpeterian entrepreneur: a review of the empirical evidence on the antecedents, behaviour and consequences of innovative entrepreneurship (2017, positive): “This is a common phenomenon in specific industries, such as the semiconductor industry, where many companies can be traced back to one parent company (Klepper 2001).”
The Effectiveness of University Knowledge Spillovers: Performance Differences between University Spinoffs and Corporate Spinoffs (2011, background): “For example, Fairchild is credited with generating a large number of spinoffs mainly in semiconductors during the early development of Silicon Valley, whereas Stanford University later rose in importance (Klepper, 2001), now spinning off substantially different kinds of firms.”
