title = {Linking the cultural capital of the entrepreneur and early performance of new ventures: A cross-country comparison},
year = {2012},
note = {We explore the impact of an entrepreneur’s cultural capital on the
performance of new ventures in both mature and transition economies.
Results show that individualistic values of the founder influence
early performance of new ventures, irrespective of the country
context; and that in less advanced transition economies, the
entrepreneur’s cultural-background profile has a stronger influence
on new venture performance than education or industry experience. Our
findings support the assumption that entrepreneurial performance in
new ventures is culture-driven, and suggest that economic analyses of
entrepreneurial actions should encompass cultural values as well.},
