“…This research advances image theory (Beach, 1990) in entrepreneurship (e.g. Salavou and Lioukas, 2019;Tang, 2016) by using its concept of shocks and violations to the self-image to understand how cross-cultural experience can function as a constructive category of turbulence with regard to developing entrepreneurial sensing aptitudes. Leading scholars in entrepreneurship have noted the importance of the self-image for the opportunity recognition process, mainly in terms of its content (e.g.…”

“…Collectively, image theory has been helpful for understanding how managers and entrepreneurs "connect the dots" of their experiences in line with their status-quo perceptions (e.g. Mitchell and Shepherd, 2010;Penney et al, 2019;Salavou and Lioukas, 2019;Tang, 2016). More specifically, image theory posits that as individuals are constantly flooded with information in their daily experiences, their images function as screening devices (Beach and Mitchell, 1998).…”

PurposeDrawing on image theory, the authors investigate how and when cross-cultural experience cultivates two core entrepreneurial sensing capabilities: opportunity recognition and creative behavior.Design/methodology/approachThe authors develop and test a second-stage moderated mediation model across two studies. Study 1 consists of a sample of prospective entrepreneurs from the UK using perceptual scale measures (n = 153). Building on this, core findings are replicated using task-based measures on a sample of US participants (n = 342).FindingsResults show that cross-cultural experience is positively related to both entrepreneurial sensing capabilities through the mediating role of self-image fluidity. No support is found for the moderating role of regulatory focus orientations.Research limitations/implicationsThese findings contribute to the burgeoning literature on multicultural experience and initiating skills in nascent venturing by providing insight on the mechanisms and boundary conditions relevant for entrepreneurial capabilities to emerge.Practical implicationsThe results reinforce the need for educators, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to facilitate and encourage opportunities for cross-cultural and overseas experiences as they are influential for stimulating entrepreneurial skills.Originality/valuePositive linkages between international mobility and entrepreneurial activity are of continued interest, yet individual-level mechanisms that explain this have been limited. The authors find that exposure to foreign cultures is potent for entrepreneurship as it can stimulate flexibility and exploration of the self-image and break frames of reference. This fosters greater tendencies for opportunity recognition and creative behaviors.

“…The related concept of entrepreneurial orientation is also positively impacted by narcissism, as numerous studies have found (Paulhus and Williams, 2002; Davila et al , 2003). This dimension includes the entrepreneur’s self-image, which can influence entrepreneurial aspirations (Salavou and Lioukas, 2019). As having a positive self-attitude is helpful in entrepreneurial work, it is also heavily correlated with narcissistic tendencies, for example, the need for power or admiration (Campbell et al , 2011).…”

Purpose Recent years have seen a meteoric rise in the study of narcissism in entrepreneurship, although little consolidation has occurred in this area. The purpose of this paper is the development of an integrative framework to harmonise the academic discussion and serve as a structured foundation for future research. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted an artificial intelligence-aided, structured literature review focused on content analysis of concepts and contexts to map out current findings and research gaps in startup narcissism research. Findings According to the findings of this study, narcissistic tendencies have the potential to positively influence startup success early on in an entrepreneur's journey, but after a certain point in the process, the influence of narcissism on success becomes predominantly negative. Research limitations/implications The research field is currently not very harmonised regarding research measures, research subjects and key research terms. Further research must use a standardised approach to add value to the research body. Practical implications Narcissism is a two-sided sword for founders. In the early stages of a company, many of the founder’s tasks can benefit from narcissistic tendencies. In the later stages of a company, that might shift to overwhelmingly negative effects of narcissism. Originality/value Methodically, this study is the first one to establish an artificial intelligence component to add value to the results of a review paper to the best of the authors’ knowledge. The results of this study provide a clear framework of entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurial performance to give researchers the opportunity of a more differentiated way of organising work.

“…In general, considering nascent entrepreneurs are more flexible than experienced ones, they are more likely to find new opportunities and have better learning ability and adaptability (Cunningham and Anderson, 2018). Thus, when the entrepreneurial entry speed is faster and managerial seniority is low, the host has a more urgent attitude to accumulate new knowledge and resources quickly, as well as the positive attitude to spot opportunities in the market, learn and adapt to change (Salavou and Lioukas, 2019). At this point, host popularity has the strongest positive impact on host expansion.…”

Purpose Sharing accommodation has lowered the threshold for digital entrepreneurship in the accommodation industry, prompting entrepreneurs to join this industry. However, digital micro-entrepreneurs have been ignored by previous studies. To bridge the gap, this study aims to explore the impact of reputational asset (host popularity) and host’s human capital (entrepreneurial entry speed and managerial seniority) on host expansion grounded on the resource-based theory. Design/methodology/approach This study obtained crawler data by python from Airbnb.com, locking the time range to the past five years from 2013 to 2018 in Beijing of China. This study finally has 348 hosts’ balanced panel data to estimate the ordinary least squares regression model with fixed-year effect. Findings Results demonstrate that host popularity has a significant positive effect on host expansion. Furthermore, entrepreneurial entry speed strengthens the positive effect of host popularity on host expansion, whereas managerial seniority weakens the positive effect. The three-way interaction analysis reveals that the positive impact of host popularity on host expansion is strongest when managerial seniority is smaller and entrepreneurial entry speed is faster. Research limitations/implications The research has important implications to how the platforms interfere with the implementation of host expansion strategy and adds valuable insights to understand the transformation process of host expansion from nonprofessional to professional. Originality/value The research has expanded the literature related to the micro-entrepreneurship of the sharing economy and verified the application of resource-based theory under sharing economy.
