“…Aiming to understand the formation of markets and the inherent competition processes one needs both empirical studies but also a theoretical framework of socio economics helping to investigate seriously social mobility patterns in a wider concept. Research on occupations and labour markets belongs to the issues, which have to be acknowledged in future research (Wiklund et al 2011). We increasingly find ourselves in a society that mirrors a puzzle of labor market patterns and biographical careers in which the clinical dichotomy between wage-or labor-dependent work on the one side and self-employed activities on the other side is muddied.…”

The complex interaction of technological development and socio-demographic change has accelerated a structural change in the economy, resulting in a changing working environment and new forms of employment. In the field of selfemployment, an emerging trend towards one-person enterprises can be observed, which already represent more than 50 % of all Austrian companies. Based on a representative sample of 626 one-person enterprises in Carinthia, one of the federal countries in Austria, we found out that these micro enterprises are mainly driven by motives like self-realization or working without hierarchies. However, their emergence is also partly due to a lack of opportunities in the (dependent) labour market. Additionally, we found evidence for the phenomenon of hybrid self-employment, meaning that a significant part of the one-person enterprises (nearly 20 %) is additionally engaged in dependent work. The primary aim of this paper was to identify factors influencing these hybrid forms of employment status between dependent work and self-employment. Based on a binary Logit model, we found evidence that the hybrid employment status is mainly determined by age, the educational level, the situation in which the one-person enterprise was founded, the duration of the enterprise as well as the motives for being self-employed.

“…It is also an important consideration given that both the informal and formal institutional contexts in developing countries and emerging economies are different. Consequently, the opportunities and barriers for entrepreneurship in these contexts differ from the developed Western world (Welter, 2011), and we cannot easily transfer or generalize our current Relatedly, entrepreneurship research can do more to establish the rewards of entrepreneurship for the individual and teams (Wiklund et al, 2011), including financial benefits and other consequences of entrepreneurship (Carter, 2011). Here, the agricultural sector provides a useful context to highlight the multi-faceted motives and rewards of entrepreneurship, exceeding factors such as autonomy and satisfaction, and showing that rewards are not solely defined by business norms and goals but also by personal and family norms and goals which may alter over time and across the business life-cycle (Carter, 2011;Glover & Reay, 2015).…”

Recent and rapid vertical integration and rationalization within the agricultural sector provides a dynamic setting for scholars to investigate entrepreneurship theory and practice. We identify three key contextual dimensions of the agricultural sector; identity, family, and institutions, which provide promising opportunities for future research and the potential to contribute to and extend current theoretical and empirical analyses of entrepreneurship research.

“…There is an important relationship between growth and profitability (Fitzsimmons et al, 2005). The emergence of a dynamic models of small firms, and firm growth in particular (Levie & Lichtenstein, 2010) implies the need to challenge previous assumptions and theories (Wiklund, Davidsson, Audretsch & Karlsson, 2011;Davidsson & Wiklund, 2013). Cowling (2004) finds that there is a trade-off between growth and short term profitability for firms.…”

Testing relationships between firm size and perceptions of growth and profitability: An investigation into the practices of Australian ICT SMEs

Gibrat’s Law mandates the independence of firm size and growth, while the resource-based view of the firm implies a positive relationship between firm size and profits, to be concluded in a profit–growth trade-off. Empirical studies of entrepreneurial success however, have demonstrated firms’ ability to reach a state of high growth and profitability, despite the trade-offs encapsulated within the profit–growth nexus. Upon assessing the relationships between past profitability, current firm growth and size in Australian ICT SMEs, results demonstrate positive relationships between all three indicators. This suggests that profitability can be considered the most important precursor of entrepreneurial success, and also that successful businesses do not suffer from the trade-offs implied by theory.
