“…Nakatani (1984) and Khanna and Yafeh (2005), for example, found a negative relationship between variance of operating income on assets and keiretsu membership. However, in these studies, risk is often defined as the extent to which there is uncertainty about whether expected outcomes will be realized (Sitkin & Pablo, 1992). Underlying this definition is that risk can be measured as the gap between realized and targeted outcomes, which we call here the "outcome-aspiration gap".…”

“…Industry-specific experience of employees is generally considered a substantial source for a firm's success, growth and survival [85,165]. Employees that are experienced with different industry-specific occurrences perceive less risk because they usually encounter familiar problems while working [136,166]. They bring in both explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge to solve challenges specific to the particular industry [167].…”

Implementation of product-service systems (PSS) requires structural changes in the way that business in manufacturing industries is traditionally conducted. Literature frequently mentions the importance of human resource management (HRM), since people are involved in the entire process of PSS development and employees are the primary link to customers. However, to this day, no study has provided empirical evidence whether and in what way HRM of firms that implement PSS differs from HRM of firms that solely run a traditional manufacturing-based business model. The aim of this study is to contribute to closing this gap by investigating the particular HR components of manufacturing firms that implement PSS and compare it with the HRM of firms that do not. The context of this study is the fashion industry, which is an ideal setting since it is a mature and highly competitive industry that is well-documented for causing significant environmental impact. PSS present a promising opportunity for fashion firms to differentiate and mitigate the industry's ecological footprint. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to analyze data of 102 international fashion firms. Findings reveal a significant higher focus on nearly the entire spectrum of HRM components of firms that implement PSS compared with firms that do not. Empirical findings and their interpretation are utilized to propose a general framework of the role of HRM for PSS implementation. This serves as a departure point for both scholars and practitioners for further research, and fosters the understanding of the role of HRM for managing PSS implementation.

“…According to Landier, entrepreneurs fear social stigma if they do not achieve the expected business success. Other academics have also found this factor to be influential on entrepreneurial activity (Busenitz, Gomez, & Spencer, 2000;Brochaus, 1980;Herron & Sapienza, 1992;Sitkin & Pablo, 1992;Wennberg, Pathak, & Autio, 2013;Wyrwich, Stuetzer, & Sternberg, 2016).…”

Purpose -This paper aims to demonstrate the impact of two important socio-cultural factors on the level of the entrepreneurial activity of young individuals in rural regions.Design/methodology/approach -Our empirical study is based on a sample collected from an adult population survey, and analyzed using a logit model that controls for territorial and aging sources of heterogeneity. Our theoretical framework is anchored on a contingency perspective that emphasizes the unique influences of the contextual environment in driving entrepreneurial behavior.Findings -The main findings of our study is that in Spain the likelihood of being entrepreneurially active is no different for young and old individuals, and between rural and urban regions. Surprisingly, unlike shown in most studies, entrepreneurial role models do not have any effect on the entrepreneurship by young individuals in rural regions of Spain, while the negative impact of fear of failure in the entrepreneurship on young individuals in rural regions is much higher compared to the rest of the population.Originality/value -Our findings reveal that the context (regional) has a more significant impact on entrepreneurship for some segments (younger individuals) of the population than for others.
