title = {Growth aspirations of early-stage entrepreneurs: Empirical investigation of South-Eastern and Western European countries},
year = {2016},
note = {We aimed to 1) estimate the associations between innovation and
international orientation of early-stage entrepreneurs and their
growth aspirations and 2) determine whether these associations differ
across south-eastern European countries (SeECs) and western European
countries (WECs). We used the data from the 2003–2008 Global
Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey for 3,098 SeEC and
3,626 WEC entrepreneurs. The results show that 1) a firm’s high
level of competition inhibits its growth aspirations in both regions,
albeit more so in SeECs; 2) innovative products/services stimulate
firm growth aspirations in WECs only; and 3) international orientation
stimulates firm growth aspirations in both regions, albeit more so in
WECs.},
