“…Gjerlø‐Juel and Dahl (2021) find that employee ability to accumulate and a recipient firm's ability to absorb human and other complementary assets lower prior employer performance. Based on their study, employee tenure as a proxy for accumulation of human and complementary assets, and the size of the startup as a proxy for knowledge absorption are added considerations for future research in studying the effects of IDD.…”

Research Summary Inevitable disclosure doctrine (IDD) refers to a legal doctrine where an employer can claim, without the need for proof or evidence, misappropriation of trade secrets to seek an injunction against an employee. Based on entrepreneurial spawning literature, for employees seeking to start their ventures, IDD rejection by state courts could therefore be a potential catalyst to entrepreneurial activity. In a sample of neighbor‐counties across state borders with and without IDD rejection, the two‐way fixed‐effects difference‐in‐differences estimates show positive effects for county‐level entrepreneurial outcomes. However, when applying more recently developed methods for testing staggered implementation, we find no support for county‐level entrepreneurial outcomes across multiple specifications and heterogeneities. The findings have implications for the limited efficacy of IDD rejection on regional entrepreneurial activity. Managerial Summary The value of protecting trade secrets is important for employers, and the role of laws in preventing employees from potentially disclosing their trade secrets is widely studied. One such legal doctrine is the inevitable disclosure doctrine (IDD) where an employer can claim, without the need for proof or evidence, misappropriation of trade secrets to seek an injunction against an employee. We find that IDD rejections by courts have a limited effect on the formation of startups in a county. The findings imply that investors are less encumbered by IDD rejections by courts and that policymakers may not find IDD rejections as a useful mechanism to prime local entrepreneurship.

“…Literature [22] constructed a correlation model between corporate entrepreneurship and performance based on social psychology, through which it can effectively promote the enhancement of corporate entrepreneurial behavior. Literature [23] analyzed the correlation between employee mobility and parent company performance, and high-performance employee mobility can improve the entrepreneurial performance of startups, which in turn helps startups better accumulate industry experience. Literature [24] analyzed data from entrepreneurial interviews with 57 students, and university entrepreneurship training can help students gain better access to forms of human capital that can help students improve their entrepreneurial potential and enhance scalable entrepreneurial performance.…”

Promoting entrepreneurship of high quality in the context of digitization is an important support for the in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, and it is a necessary way to achieve fuller employment and employment quality. In this paper, starting from the hypothesis of correlation, we analyzed the reliability and validity of the design of the questionnaire. The fuzzy DEMATEL-SEM model was constructed by combining structural equation modeling and fuzzy decision-making experimental method, which can be utilized to realize the exploration of the correlation between entrepreneurial psychological needs, entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial performance. The quantitative validation of the data is carried out through linear analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and model analysis. The results show that the two-tailed significance test result of the importance of entrepreneurial psychological needs and entrepreneurial motivation is less than 0.01, the mean value of R2 of the model between entrepreneurial psychological needs and entrepreneurial performance of college students is 0.6355, and the direct effect of entrepreneurial motivation on entrepreneurial performance is 0.766. There is a clear positive correlation between entrepreneurial psychological needs, entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial performance, and universities and colleges need to fully carry out entrepreneurship education activities to enhance students’ entrepreneurial awareness.

“…This fear of spinouts may cause parents to underinvest in their internal ventures (Burke & To, 2001). More recently, Gjerlø-Juel and Dahl (2021) found that the tenure of employee entrepreneurs and the initial size of their spinouts have crucial impact on the parents. In order to negatively impact parents through competition, spinouts need to be able to transfer accumulated knowledge from parents and absorb it into the new venture.…”

Increasing research on spinouts highlights the key role that employees play in new business creation, knowledge diffusion, and economic development. However, this research conflicts on many points, including on definitions of key concepts. In this paper, we review the theoretical and empirical literatures on private sector employee spinouts and integrate insights spanning multiple academic disciplines. We address definitional ambiguity and propose a cross‐disciplinary conceptual framework that adequately captures the extant literature on this phenomenon. Doing so allows us to organize the selected academic articles on employee spinouts into six themes: antecedents at the individual, organizational (parent firm), and external environmental levels, and consequences of spinouts for spinout founder(s), parent firms, and external environments. For each theme, we summarize the key research questions, theories, and evidence to date, and refer to potential integration points that could help to expand our knowledge. We conclude our review of each major theme with targeted suggestions for future research.
