What do we really mean when we talk about ‘exit’? A critical review of research on entrepreneurial exit (2014, background): “…variety of empirical insights, but none of them take into account that an individual might run several firms concurrently as a portfolio entrepreneur (Davidsson 1989; Westhead et al., 2005), or successively move from one firm to another as a serial entrepreneur (Toft-Kehler et al., in press, 2013).”
Searching for resilience: the impact of employee-level and entrepreneur-level resilience on firm performance in small family firms (2020, unknown): “Finally, scholars have shown that individual traits affect organisational performance and managerial approaches (Westhead et al. 2005; Ucbasaran et al. 2008; Zhang and Acs 2018).”
Entrepreneurial exit and entrepreneurial engagement (2011, background): “Evidence on performance differences is mixed; for example, Westhead et al. (2005) find that “serial entrepreneurs” show superior performance, whereas Westhead and Wright (1998a, 1998b) do not find such a difference.”
Entrepreneurs, Jacks of all trades or Hobos? (2011, unknown): “Westhead et al. (2005)], and learning by doing.”
‘Types’ of private family firms: an exploratory conceptual and empirical analysis (2007, background): “…on their investments at national and/or local levels, policy-makers and practitioners may seek to encourage the development of existing firms (and entrepreneurs), rather than to solely provide support to increase the supply of nascent entrepreneurs and new firms (DTI 2001, Westhead et al. 2005).”
The latent demand for bank debt: characterizing “discouraged borrowers” (2012, background): “Indeed, recent evidence suggests that portfolio entrepreneurs are marked by both more diverse experiences and more resources, in comparison with serial or novice peers (Westhead et al. 2005).”
Serial entrepreneurship: impact of human capital on time to re-entry (2011, methodology): “3 An exception is the study by Westhead et al. (2005), which found no statistically significant differences between novice and serial entrepreneur types with regard to their educational level.”
