“…The decision to use this methodology was primarily based on its suitability for the study of phenomena in the social sciences because it allows for equifinality and multifinality (Gerrits and Pagliarin, 2021). It has been widely used in business research and has the advantage of allowing for causal multiplicity (Sendra-Pons et al, 2022a). Hence, it can offer a useful way of studying reality.…”

PurposeThis empirical study uses herd behavior model to explore the role of anchor investors in ensuring fundraising success and overfunding of crowdfunded ventures.Design/methodology/approachQualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is applied to find the configurational patterns describing how anchor investors' information disclosure leads to successful financing and overfunding.FindingsEven when the anchor investor's resume is not detailed or the anchor investor has little experience in entrepreneurial investment, success or overfunding can be achieved, provided the anchor investor is a corporation rather than an individual. For individual anchor investors, a detailed resume matters. Overfunding can be achieved even when an individual anchor investor makes a small relative investment, if this small relative investment is compensated for by a detailed resume. Experience in entrepreneurial investment is crucial when individual anchor investors have few previous investments. Regardless of the anchor investor's identity, investment in absolute terms is crucial for crowdfunding success when experience in entrepreneurial investment is low. Such experience must be extensive if the anchor investor's resume is not detailed.Practical implicationsBoth entrepreneurs and crowdfunding platforms can benefit from the findings in relation to the design of campaigns that use anchor investors' informational cues to achieve success and overfunding.Originality/valueThe study examines the importance of anchor investors' information disclosure in digital crowdfunding environments, differentiating between individual and corporate anchor investors.

“…En cuanto al género, el porcentaje de empresarias que planifican a largo plazo resulta ligeramente inferior al de los empresarios. Este resultado podría relacionarse con las menores aspiraciones emprendedoras de las mujeres, las cuales inician un negocio, más por cuestiones de necesidad que de oportunidad, ante la falta de alternativas de empleo satisfactorias (Sendra-Pons et al, 2021). Sin embargo, ellas sienten más confianza para acudir a los inversores, en mayor medida que sus homólogos masculinos.…”

Las pequeñas empresas suponen la práctica totalidad del tejido empresarial español e internacional. Pese a que estos agentes son esenciales para la creación de empleo, también son los que más sufren la inestabilidad del contexto económico, en parte, por la moderada alfabetización financiera de sus gestores. Utilizando una muestra de 1.120 pequeñas empresas obtenida durante 2021, en este trabajo se hace un diagnóstico del nivel de alfabetización financiera de sus propietarios/gestores, a través del diseño de diferentes clústeres de naturaleza singular. A su vez, se relacionan esos niveles con las características sociodemográficas de los encuestados. Los resultados muestran aquellos conocimientos, actitudes y comportamientos financieros que pueden ser fortalecidos en las personas empresarias. En consonancia, esta investigación aporta algunas recomendaciones para mejorar la alfabetización financiera empresarial

“…Individuals with high fear of failure tend to regard entrepreneurial activities as threats rather than opportunities. As a result, fear of failure weakens individual entrepreneurial intention and discourages entrepreneurial activity (Kickul et al , 2009; Sendra-Pons et al , 2022). Johnson and Powell (1994) found that women have a lower risk tendency than men and are more likely to be pessimistic about the outcomes of new ventures.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the gender differences in entrepreneurship driven by configurations of institutional environment and entrepreneurial cognition, and provide theoretical guidance and practical reference for promoting female and male entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach Based on a configuration perspective, six antecedents of institutional environment and entrepreneurial cognition are integrated to explore multiple concurrent factors and causally complex relationships affecting female and male entrepreneurship. Findings This study indicates that the configurations of institutional environment and entrepreneurial cognition can achieve high female and male entrepreneurship. There are similarities and differences between female and male entrepreneurship from a configuration perspective. Perceived opportunity plays an important role in entrepreneurship for both women and men, and the absence of fear of failure is also important for male entrepreneurship. There is a complementary effect among entrepreneurial cognitions in the absence of institutional environment. In the configurations of institutional environment and entrepreneurial cognition, female entrepreneurship benefits more from informal institutions, whereas regulative and cognitive institutions play a greater role in male entrepreneurship. Practical implications Policymakers and individuals should take a holistic and complex view of the impact of institutional environment and entrepreneurial cognition, and differentiated measures should be taken for female and male entrepreneurship. Originality/value This research responds to the call for multilevel transnational entrepreneurship research, enriches research on institutional environment and entrepreneurial cognition, deepens the application of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to the field of entrepreneurship and strengthens the understanding of the similarities, differences and complexities of female and male entrepreneurship.
