Entrepreneurship and the Informal Economy: An Overview (2010, unknown): “The remaining 37 enterprises were not in transition toward legitimacy, some of which were owned by “portfolio entrepreneurs” (Carter and Ram, 2004), simultaneously running several businesses, none of which were in transition to legitimacy.”
Passion and habitual entrepreneurship (2015, background): “In line with Carter and Ram (2003), we define portfolio entrepreneurs as those who have experience running two or more businesses at the same time.”
Contextualizing Entrepreneurship—Conceptual Challenges and Ways Forward (2011, unknown): “However, Carter and Ram (2003) point out that such a perspective, while recognizing the importance of the resources of the family/household on strategies and objectives within the enterprise, “may fail to address issues beyond the family domain.””
Incumbents’ Attitude Toward Intrafamily Succession (2016, background): “This will help family members establish their careers or sustain a standard of living commensurate with the family’s status in the community (Carter & Ram, 2003).”
Portfolio Entrepreneurship in Family Firms: A Resource-based Perspective (2011, background): “It has been shown that family dynamics and resources can be highly infl uential in start-up and portfolio processes (Rosa and Hamilton, 1994; Rosa, 1998; Carter and Ram, 2003).”
Serial entrepreneurship: impact of human capital on time to re-entry (2011, background): “The need to better understand the behavior of individual entrepreneurs in a variety of settings that extend beyond one-time entrepreneurial experience is highlighted by, among others, MacMillan (1986), Westhead and Wright (1998), Carter and Ram (2003), Westhead et al. (2005) and Stam et al. (2008).”
Exit Strategies in Family Firms: How Socioemotional Wealth Drives the Threshold of Performance (2013, unknown): “…relevant in family firms (Sieger, Zellweger, Nason, & Clinton, 2011) because it provides a method to diversify risk, meet growth aspirations, and assist family firms in providing career opportunities for additional family members (Carter & Ram, 2003; Mulholland, 1997; Ram, 1994; Rosa, 1998).”
The advantage of experienced start-up founders in venture capital acquisition: evidence from serial entrepreneurs (2007, unknown): “This view is echoed by other 3 authors (see, e.g., Donkels et al., 1987; Starr and Bygrave, 1991; Scott and Rosa, 1996; Rosa, 1998; Carter and Ram, 2003).”
Markets, Hierarchies, and Families: Toward a Transaction Cost Theory of the Family Firm (2010, unknown): “Second, our transaction cost framework has focused upon independent, freestanding family firms, but many family firms are portfolio firms (Carter & Ram, 2003) or business groups (Khanna & Rivkin, 2001).”
Entrepreneurs' Optimism And New Venture Performance: A Social Cognitive Perspective (2009, methodology): “We measured industry-level rate of unpredicted change as the standard errors of four regression slopes, following the work of Dess and Beard (1984), Keats and Hitt (1988), Sharfman and Dean (1991), and Castrogiovanni (2002). In each case the independent variable was time.”
Everyday Entrepreneurship—A Call for Entrepreneurship Research to Embrace Entrepreneurial Diversity (2017, background): “For example, business development can be usefully viewed as inextricably intertwined with family goals (Carter & Ram, 2003), thus acknowledging and illuminating a specific role that (social) context plays in entrepreneurship (Ram, Abbas, Sanghera, Barlow, & Jones, 2001; Welter, 2011; Welter &…”
Entrepreneurial families and family firms (2010, background): “Accordingly, Rosa ( 1998 ) and Carter and Ram ( 2003 ) identified the family and household as an important, yet understudied unit of analysis, especially in investigating habitual or portfolio entrepreneurship.”
Kinship and business: how entrepreneurial households facilitate business growth (2014, background): “…also unknown, and it is possible that entrepreneurial households in urban areas exhibit similar behaviours, for example the ethnic minority and immigrant entrepreneurship literature also refers to the crucial role of the household in facilitating business growth (Kibria 1994; Carter and Ram 2003).”
From Longevity of Firms to Transgenerational Entrepreneurship of Families (2012, background): “In this vein, Carter and Ram (2003) argue that “an analysis of the wider literature suggests that for many small firms, family circumstances may influence both the decision to engage in portfolio strategies and also the processes which are used in the portfolio approach.””
