    Differences between entrepreneurial teams and individual entrepreneurs: an international approach
    (Universia, 2021-10-07) Pinzón, Nathaly; González Pernía, José Luis; Montero Villacampa, Javier
    The objective of this work is to analyze the differences between entrepreneurial teams and individual entrepreneurs. Our study explains the performance differences between them in terms of innovation, internationalization, and employment generation. Our hypotheses are tested using a sample of 71,578 entrepreneurial projects in 74 countries that have partici-pated in the GEM project between 2014 and 2018. Our results indicate that entrepreneurial teams have better results than individual entrepreneurs, especially in contexts of high eco-nomic freedom.

    How the culture of a country explains the social status of entrepreneurs
    (Universidad Camilo José Cela, 2018-09-27) Fuentelsaz Lamata, Lucio; Maicas López, Juan Pablo; Montero Villacampa, Javier
    Despite the benefits of entrepreneurial activity on economic development, entrepreneurs do not have a good social status in all societies. While in some countries they are highly respected (Anglo-Saxon context), in others, their image is not so positive (European context). In this paper, we highlight these differences using a sample from the GEM project and explain the social status of entrepreneurs using the cultural profile of countries, which is measured with the Schwartz database. Our results show that some cultural profiles favor entrepreneurs’ social status.

    The influence of individual characteristics on getting involved in an entrepreneurial team: the contingent role of individualism
    (Springer Nature, 2022-09) Pinzón, Nathaly; Montero Villacampa, Javier; González Pernía, José Luis
    A traditional stereotype of the entrepreneur is that of a lone hero. However, many entrepreneurs engage in new businesses as members of entrepreneurial teams. These teams usually perform better in terms of employment generation, innovation, and profts. Thus, a relevant question is why some individuals get involved in entrepreneurship through a team rather than alone. Our explanation is focused on two variables related to the entrepreneur’s human capital: their educational level and their intrapreneurial experience. There are conficting arguments on how these variables lead an entrepreneur to join a team, and we argue that the degree of individualism of the society helps us understand the discrepancies. We use a sample of 66,716 earlystage entrepreneurs from 66 countries surveyed by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor between 2014 and 2017. Our results show that entrepreneurs with higher levels of education and intrapreneurial experience are more likely to be involved in the entrepreneurship process as members of teams. However, the efect of educational level is less pronounced in individualist contexts. In addition, we fnd that the motivation to enter entrepreneurship partially mediates these relationships, as individuals endowed with higher human capital are likely to enter entrepreneurship driven by an opportunistic motivation, which in turns makes them likely to need or join teams to reach their goals
