PublicationSuccession Intentions Across the Globe: The Role of Institutional FactorsWhile succession intentions have received increasing scholarly attention in recent years, there is a lack of knowledge about country-level antecedents and differences. Our paper aims to close this gap by investigating succession intentions of 6,360 students with family business background from 26 countries. More specifically, we blend theory of planned behavior with institutional theory and find that institutional variables such as individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and the level of corruption explain the formation of succession intentions over and above traditional theory of planned behavior elements. In addition, we reveal a U-shaped relationship between a nation's level of economic development and the strength of succession intentions. This indicates the existence of two types of succession intentions: necessity and opportunity succession. These findings add valuable insights to literature on family businesses, succession, theory of planned behavior, and practice.Type: conference paper

PublicationToward an Institutional Extension of Theory of Planned Behavior : The Case of Succession IntentionsThe present paper blends theory of planned behavior with institutional theory to predict career choice intentions of students with family business background. Probing a sample of 6’360 students with family business background from 26 countries we find that institutional variables such as individualistic culture, uncertainty avoidance, and the level of corruption explain the formation of succession intentions over and above traditional theory of planned behavior measures. In addition, we identify a U-shaped relationship between a nation’s level of economic development and the strength of succession intentions, indicating the existence of two types of succession motives, necessity and opportunity succession. These findings constitute valuable contributions to literature on theory of planned behavior, succession in family firms, and practice.Type: conference paperJournal: Academy of Management Annual Meeting ProceedingsVolume: Paper 1231

PublicationStudent Entrepreneurship Across the Globe: A Look at Intentions and ActivitiesWhat are students' entrepreneurial intentions and activities across the world? This question is of highest social and economic relevance. Students represent the entrepreneurs of tomorrow; their entrepreneurial plans and activities will shape tomorrow's societies and the overall economic well-being. Hence, it is of highest interest for different stakeholders such as academics, practitioners, educators, policy-makers, and last but not least students how many students intend to pursue an entrepreneurial career and how those ntrepreneurial intentions come into being. The GUESSS project (Global Universiy Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey) addresses this question on a global level. For that purpose, the 6th data collection wave in the history of GUESSS was conducted in 34 countries at more than 700 universities between October 2013 and March 2014. This led to a dataset with more than 109'000 complete student responses. This report provides an in-depth analysis of this unique dataset, shedding a nuanced light on students' entrepreneurial intentions and concrete activities. We focused in particular on cross-country comparisons, whereby we also consider numerous other relevant aspects, such as gender and specific social and cultural determinants.Type: work report
