“…Also, Pickernell, Senyard, Jones, Gary, and Ramsey (2013) defined start-up businesses as young and new businesses as existing below four years. This study defined start-up success as the ability of a firm to survive or to sustain in business based on financial and non-financial performance for the past five years (Durda & Krajcik, 2016;Lussier & Pfeifer, 2001;Yaacob, Mahmood, Mat Zin, & Puteh, 2014).…”

A start-up plays a significant role in the economic growth, employment opportunity, incubators for eco-innovation, and create a new market. Despite their important roles towards the economic and social growth, start-ups face difficulty in sustaining and surviving as the failure rate of start-up range between 50% and 95%, especially in emerging countries such as Malaysia. Therefore, it is important for start-ups in developing countries to identify specific support services that determine their success. In this study, we focus on technology-related, market-related, finance-related, and soft-related supports received by start-ups in Malaysia. The present study has collected data from 500 startups in Malaysia who were recipients of the funding from Malaysia government agencies. To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first statistical test of how start-ups who were business owners or business partners receiving funding or support from the government agencies view the support system. Based on the analysis, this study provides evidence that support matters to start-up success. Technology-related, finance-related, and soft-related supports hold a significant relationship with the start-up success, while surprisingly, market-related support did not have a significant relationship with start-up success. Our results have extended previous research by highlighting the importance of these supports in driving start-up success and indicating how each dimension of these support services either enhances or inhibits start-up success.

“…However, there is a lack of explanation on how different organizational contexts especially start-up firms link to EO. Start-ups are considered as firms with a high degree of risk and uncertainty (Durda & Krajcik, 2016), thus, require them to engage in EO for a more reliable and consistent business direction. Similarly, Ghosh and Bhowmick (2014) indicated that uncertainty in entrepreneurship is critical to the entrepreneurs as it is directly related to the context of decision-making.…”

This paper examines the extent to which gender influences on the practice of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) on Start-up Success. This study was conducted among Spin-off and Symbiosis Company (SSC) from all sectors in Peninsular Malaysia. Despite the remarkable research on EO and Start-up firms, there is a missing link on how gender provides different perspectives of EO practices among SSC, especially in Malaysia. A total of 120 SSC was chosen and the results show that EO was statistically related to Start-up Success and unveiled the magnitude of change that gender possesses in improving the relationship between EO practice and Start-up Success. The major implication of this study presents the unique contribution of gender in motivating SSC owners to engage in EO. Also, the difference of gender perceptions in business provides a variety of untapped opportunities in terms of entrepreneurial-related practices as different gender perceived different needs and capabilities. Future research is suggested to explore this phenomenon more extensively and develop a comprehensive model for the gender analysis. In brief, the discussion in this paper would help to strengthen the body of knowledge on Entrepreneurship and act as a future reference on SSC, EO, and Start-up Success.

“…Given the economic importance of start-up in Malaysia and its nature for being quite fragile, government and policy makers are increasing turning their attention towards initiatives intended to foster and protect start-up. Start-up are firms with an elevated risk and uncertainty (Durda & Krajcik, 2016).…”
