“…In line with this, all joint-stock companies that were founded in a particular year are sampled: There is no exclusion of ventures of a particular size or sector, gender, or of ventures founded by teams and solo entrepreneurs. Thus, we are able to take account of the initial social gender diversity of start-ups (Aldrich, 2009;Lippman & Aldrich, 2016;Martinez et al, 2011).…”

“…Much research is regularly cross sectional, and institutional change over longer periods is therefore often difficult to include in the analysis (Aldrich, 2009;Martinez et al, 2011;Welter, 2011). However, we may think of institutions as either favorable or unfavorable contexts, or conditions that will affect particular economic actors or groups, and these contexts are subjected to change over time (Rosenberg & Birdzell, 1986).…”

“…In particular, the entrepreneurial team is considered to be a promising framework of analysis. In spite of this, teams have gained relatively little attention in the past research (Cooney, 2005;Cooper & Daily, 1997;Davidsson & Wiklund, 2001;Martinez, Yang, & Aldrich, 2011), and there are few large-sample studies on the performance differences between solo start-ups and team start-ups (Gueguen, 2013). The need for a more explicit highlighting of the entrepreneurial team, as well as an exploration and evaluation of earlier theoretical contributions and their applicability, is considered to be urgent (Aldrich & Kim, 2007;Larsson Segerlind, 2009;Zhou & Rosini, 2015).…”

“…Scholars have asked for longer longitudinal research designs of entrepreneurial phenomena (Aldrich, 2009;Davidsson, 2008;Martinez et al, 2011;Poole, Van de Ven, Dooley, & Holmes, 2000). The present study uses a longitudinal, long-term approach to capture entrepreneurial processes with several levels of explanations.…”

The link between new venture survival and the presence of founding teams is investigated, in particular the effect of the gender composition of teams. Furthermore, we study venture survival, gender, and institutional change. A unique longitudinal database is employed, covering a large number of Swedish ventures established during 6 specific years, . These data capture the initial gender diversity of start-ups. The contextualization of entrepreneurship involves situational and temporal boundaries, and we elaborate on contextual factors at different levels of analysis. Our results show that ventures founded by teams have a higher probability of surviving, but show no overall team gender homogeneity/heterogeneity effect. However, we find some support for the fact that ventures founded by all-female teams have lower survival chances. Nevertheless, the clearest negative effect is found for female solo start-ups. Furthermore, our results support the fact that institutional transformation may gradually have increased the likelihood of ventures founded by females to survive.

“…But the alternative approach has some advantages: it makes it possible to identify and separate the unique from the general. 6 Additionally, in using longitudinal firmlevel data that is 'complete' in the sense that it records all firms entering and exiting from the industry, an understanding of the underlying mechanisms that drive socio-economic systems over time can be achieved. Bias towards researching 'successful' cases has the risk of disregarding previous failures and successes that were, or are, integral parts of the system of organisations in the industry.…”

Bring in the brewers: business entry in the Swedish brewing industry from 1830 to 2012

This article analyses long-term business entry in the Swedish brewing industry, presenting new data on its organisational historiography. Since 1830, the rate of entry has varied considerably; entries increased progressively from the 1850s, and fell at a decreasing rate from the early twentieth century. An increasing tendency to enter the trade can be observed from the mid-1980s -in particular, there has been a considerable resurgence since the turn of the millennium. The article elaborates on explanations that are both exogenous and endogenous. Above all, the results provide support for the role of endogenous conditions. The results should be viewed as complementary to previous analyses of the (Swedish) brewing industry, which either have employed shorter analytical time-frames or have mainly focused on the role of exogenous conditions, such as changes in the institutional framework.
