This study explores the relationship between the founder's entrepreneurial experience and new venture performance in the China's emerging economy. Based on a sample of ventures in the southern region of China, we demonstrate that the relationship between entrepreneurial experience and performance in Chinese ventures is nonlinear. The empirical study reveals that a high level of experience has a negative impact on performance and there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the founder's entrepreneurial experience and new venture performance under the context of the China's emerging economy. We also find that environmental uncertainty moderates the inverted U-shaped relationship.

Team entrepreneurial passion（TEP）is defined as “the shared positive emotion on the basis of shared identity by new venture team members to effectively carry out entrepreneurial activities such as the founding and developing of new ventures and improve their performance”, which is the inexhaustible power for the new venture team to maintain entrepreneurial passion and forge ahead. Although more and more scholars gradually pay attention to team entrepreneurial passion, the research on team entrepreneurial passion is still in the initial stage. Therefore, team entrepreneurial passion has become a very cutting-edge and challenging research topic in the field of entrepreneurship. This paper is a constructive qualitative exploration research. By systematically reviewing the existing literature of team entrepreneurial passion, we explore the formation mechanism of team entrepreneurial passion and its influence mechanism. Firstly, we systematically review the literature about “team emotion”, “team identity” and team entrepreneurial passion, and the main viewpoints of team entrepreneurial passion are thoroughly sorted out. Secondly, we divide the emotion sharing and identity sharing process during the formation of team entrepreneurial passion into different entrepreneurial passion. The former includes four key sub-processes: individual positive emotion, emotion contagion, emotional convergence and shared emotion, while the latter includes four key sub-processes: individual identity, collective identity, entitativity and shared identity. Based on this, a bottom-up team entrepreneurial passion emergence model is constructed, which is of great theoretical significance to clearly deconstruct the formation mechanism of team entrepreneurial passion and further promote the empirical research on team entrepreneurial passion formation. It has certain practical significance for new ventures to help teams form effective and stable entrepreneurial passion through emotion and identity process. Finally, the overall research model of the top-down influencing mechanism of team entrepreneurial passion is constructed. This paper explores the mediating effect of team psychological empowerment, team process and team member entry and exit between team entrepreneurial passion and team performance, and studies the moderating effect of team vision in these three paths. The construction of this model responds to the research limitations and the calls for more research on the formation and the function of team entrepreneurial passion. And the model has important theoretical significance for further enriching and expanding the current research of team entrepreneurial passion. At the same time, a new venture team can use team entrepreneurial passion to influence the emotion and identity of individual team members, so as to choose team members more efficiently, which is of certain practical significance for achieving the dynamic stability of team size and team status, and improving team performance. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: First, although the research on team entrepreneurial passion can use the view of team passion for reference to some extent, there are essential differences between the two. Second, team emotional sharing and team identity sharing are two key processes for the formation of team entrepreneurial passion, and the process of team emotional sharing and identity sharing can promote and reinforce each other. Third, team entrepreneurial passion can affect team performance through team psychology, team behavior and team structure.

Combining insights from knowledge-based theory (KBT) and the product innovation literature, this paper explores whether and how knowledge integration methods contribute to high-tech new venture performance in China's emerging economy. Using data from 295 entrepreneurs and top executives in Chinese high-tech new ventures, we find that both the coordinated integration of knowledge and systemic integration of knowledge have positive effects on high-tech new venture performance and product innovation. Competitive intensity moderates the impact of knowledge integration methods on product innovation. Moreover, product innovation is a mediator in the relationship between knowledge integration methods and high-tech new venture performance. Our findings have important theoretical and practical implications.

This paper systematically summarizes the connotation of entrepreneur personality traits, especially focusing on the concept and dimension division of entrepreneur personality traits in existing literature, and finds that extroversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience and risk taking are the main personality traits of entrepreneurs. The impacts of entrepreneur personality traits on entrepreneurial output have been concerned by researchers, but there is no consensus. This paper systematically sorts out related research context, discovers the research transformation from the analysis of direct effects of entrepreneur personality traits at the early stage to the revelation of indirect effects of entrepreneur personality traits on entrepreneurial output from the perspectives of cognition, behavior theory, strategy orientation and learning, to try to solve the conflicts of related research. Finally, this paper proposes a number of future research directions based on the shortcomings of existing research.

This paper examines the effect of effectuation on new venture performance in the context of Chinese transitional economy. To determine how new ventures benefit from effectuation, we examine the role of exploratory learning as a key mediator. Using data from 266 Chinese new ventures, our results show that effectuation has a positive effect on new venture performance. Exploratory learning plays a fully mediating role in the relationship between effectuation and new venture performance. This empirical evidence contributes to the development of the theory of effectuation and also provides managerial guidelines for new ventures facing uncertain business environments like transitional economies.

This research studies the measurement of Chinese new ventures' resource development process to propel the theoretical research of entrepreneurship. Meanwhile,this can guide new ventures to acquire resource effectively. After interviewing 12 entrepreneurs from different regions and industries,we develop the measurement of resource development process,including resource identification,resource acquisition,resource combination and resource utilization. Resource identification contains self-evaluation,refine requirements and source determination; resource acquisition constitutes types of resources and sources of resources;resource combination constitutes combined approach and combined process; and resource utilization contains capabilities utilization and capabilities promotion. The results of 306 samples from Beijing,Guanzhou and Jilin show the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. We also find that the new measurement of resource development process is associated with the characteristics of new ventures and the conditions of transitional economies.

The resource-based view believes that the valuable, rare, non-imitable, nonsubstitutable resource has much influence on a new firm’s competitive advantages and performance. Thus, resources is one of the most vital internal factors to the success of new firms, and lack of resources can be seen as perhaps the most important constraint of new firm’s survival and growth. New firms rarely possess all the resources required to seize an opportunity. Therefore, one of the crucial tasks in a new venture is to access external resources. However, it is very difficult for a new firm to acquire external resources. A broad consensus has emerged among both strategy and entrepreneurship scholars that networks play a central role in successful firm emergence and growth, and the firm's network relationships represent critical avenues for the acquisition of resources necessary for firm survival and growth. But it is still unclear that what relaitonship’s characteristics will be benefit to resource acquisition and the performance of new firm. Aiming to decrease this theory gap, this article contructs a theory model among relationship charateristics, resource acquisition and new firm performance. The data are coming from 322 new firms within 42 months. The empirical result shows that strong ties have positive impact on knowledge and operational resource acquisition; trust has positive impact on knowledge and operational resource acquisition; network size has positive impact on knowledge acquisition; knowledge acquisiton has positve impact on finiancial, growth performance and operational resource acquisition; the knowledge resource acquisition positively moderates the relationship between operational resources and new firm financial and growth perfornace. But the impact of network size on operational resouces are not significant; the relationships between operational resource ane new firm financial and growth performance are not significant. has not signifiant data fail to support the positive impact of operational resource on new firm perfornace
