Item type:Publication, How corporates rely on search through CVC strategies to improve performanceAlthough Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) is widely believed to drive corporate innovation, its relevance is often questioned. This study uses problemistic search to investigate whether CVC activities consistent with a firm's core business are likely to have a positive impact on the positive relationship between business strategy and firm performance. We pay particular attention to prior negative past performance. Results confirm that CVC investments aligned with a company’s core business have a positive effect, even when past performance was negative. In difficult times, the marginal effect is weaker but still positive. As soon as the business recovers, CVC activities are expected to contribute to greater corporate competitiveness as CVC activities related to the core business are compatible with a recovered business strategy.Type:journal article - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, An Attractiveness Bias? How Women Entrepreneurs' Physical Appearance Affects Men Investors(2024-06); ; ; ;Dean ShepherdPhilippe ToblerWomen founders frequently appear to encounter varied and often negatively biased decisions from investors. Our study builds on the theoretical and practical interest in understanding whether and how biases against women entrepreneurs are attributed to men investors’ cognitive and physiological (i.e., hormonal) responses to the women’s physical appearance. Using a cross-sectional research design, we recruited 106 experienced investors and randomly assigned them to one of two versions of a prerecorded pitch to test the effect of a woman entrepreneur’s physical attractiveness. The versions were identical in content and form but were delivered by different actresses, one of whom was considered highly attractive. We asked participants to observe the pitch and answer questions on related topics, including how likely they believed the business described would successfully progress through the screening stage of the investment process. In contrast to our hypothesis, we find that a woman entrepreneur’s attractiveness positively influences men investors’ assessments of her competence. These competence assessments lead to evaluations that the entrepreneur’s proposal would progress through the investment screening stage. We also theorize and find that men investors have a marked increase in cortisol levels when presented with an attractive woman entrepreneur. This increased cortisol leads to evaluations that the entrepreneur’s proposal would progress through the screening stage. Identifying the role physiological mechanisms play in investment evaluations underscores the importance of adopting proactive measures to ensure equitable and fair investment practices alongside fostering introspection within the investment community.Type:journal articleJournal:Journal of ManagementScopus© Citations 12 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Working Paper: How Neurotransmitters Buffer Stress Effects: Evidence from the Neurological Manipulation of Nascent Entrepreneurs(2023); ; ; ;Tobler, PhilippeGvozdanovic, GeraldineResearch has so far failed to explain why entrepreneurs bear a high level of stress but do not withdraw from the pursuit of opportunity. We conducted a pharmaceutical study including 120 nascent entrepreneurs and control participants. We theorize that higher levels of dopamine and noradrenaline compensate for the otherwise negative effects of the stress hormone, cortisol, on optimism and the propensity for risk, which are the key factors in the pursuit of opportunity. Our findings support the idea that entrepreneurs develop differences in neurotransmitter receptors by showing that increased dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity compensates for the negative effects of stress.Type:journal article - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
