Balanced skills among nascent entrepreneurs (2013, background): “Because young and small firms usually lack complex hierarchical structures and highly-specialized work places, working conditions are characterized by the opportunity for employees to conduct a variety of tasks (Parker 2009).”
Hybrid Entrepreneurship (2010, background): “…corroborate recent findings on how entrepreneurial activity is spawned disproportionately from small firms (Sørensen 2007, Elfenbein et al. 2008, Parker 2009) but provides new evidence that the smallest employers are most likely to spawn self-employed entry, while hybrids tend to emerge from…”

Industry structure, entrepreneurship, and culture: An empirical analysis using historical coalfields (2016, background): “However, there is much more in the small firm effect (e.g., for an overview, see Parker, 2009).”
