Item type:Publication, Organizational resources and survival of startups firms – a qualitative analysis in the Peruvian context(Emerald, 2020-10-28)Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use a combination of resource-based theory and dynamic capabilities theory to explore the phenomenon of startup survival in an emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem. Design/methodology/approach The study has a phenomenological research design, with an exploratory scope and qualitative approach. It uses in-depth interviews to identify the perceptions of ecosystem agents about the phenomenon of survival. Findings This paper argues that startup survival should be studied as a construct that is reflected by four conditions: break-even point, accelerated growth, cash stock and continuous operation. Furthermore, it is formed by the interaction of five mainly interacting resources: human capital, social capital, entrepreneurial capital, organizational capital and the incubation process. Originality/value The study offers a holistic model of survival that could be applicable to incipient entrepreneurial ecosystems such as the Peruvian one. This model presents survival as a reflexive-formative construct and not as a dichotomic variable (enterprise operating/enterprise closed) as has been commonly considered in the literature. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Fuzzy Boundaries in Start-up Firms Industries. A Social Network Analysis(Alberto Hurtado University, 2020-12-01)This paper aims to explore and describe the way in which startup firms are grouped into industries. To this end, a quantitative research approach is presented, applying a social network analysis to a sample of Pacific Alliance startups, which were recorded in CrunchBase, considering their operational activities as linkage criteria. In this way, this document offers a new application to social network analysis to demonstrate the need for a different way of classifying startups that goes beyond the industry boundaries established by the traditional classification systems. It also shows that Pacific Alliance startup industries are structured according to a pattern of dominant activity, applied technology and specific use. In addition, there is a concentration on mature or declining startup industries, while growing industries are left in second order. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Are Peruvian manufacturing firms product-based or service-based businesses? Effects of innovation activities, employee level of education and firm size(Taylor & Francis, 2021-10-06)Using survey data from 1438 Peruvian manufacturing firms, we explore multiple and simultaneous relationships between the effects of innovation activities, employee level of education, and the firm size on manufacturing firms’ innovation outcomes. We find that there is a positive relationship between innovation activities, employee level of education, and firm size. In addition, innovation activities have direct and positive effects on product and service innovation. However, employee level of education has positive indirect effects, especially on product innovation. The study also highlights that there is a negative direct relationship between size and service innovation. Thus, it is important to establish public policies aimed to promote service innovation in manufacturing firms, with specific support for small firms. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Startup growth in pandemic: Organizational resilience in an extreme crisis situation(Emerald Publishing, 2024-11-12)This study aims to examine the resilience of Peruvian startups during the COVID-19 pandemic using a framework proposed by Lengnick-Hall et al. (2011), in which resilience impacts organizational strengthening. The goal is to identify those characteristics that allowed certain startups to discover growth opportunities amid this crisis. Design/methodology/approach: This study analyzed human, social and entrepreneurial capital variables in Peruvian startups using data from a survey conducted in July 2020. Binary logistic regression was used to determine which organizational resources increased the probability of identifying growth opportunities during the pandemic. Findings: The findings suggest that human capabilities become secondary in extreme crises such as pandemics. Critical factors for startup resilience include commercial partnerships with established firms, founders’ capital investment, business maturity and adoption of advanced digital technologies. Originality/value: This research provides unique insights into startup resilience and growth in Peru during the COVID-19 crisis. The authors observed that business growth during this period was largely unpredictable, with less emphasis on human capabilities. The study highlights the importance of external factors in resilience, the role of collaboration between established firms, the integration of advanced digital technologies and the influence of founders’ investments and business maturity in navigating difficult times. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, To Survive or Not to Survive: Findings from PLS-SEM on the Relationship Between Organizational Resources and Startups' Survival(Springer International Publishing, 2023-11-14)This study explores the phenomenon of startup survival in an incipient entrepreneurship ecosystem. For this purpose, multiple and simultaneous relation-ships between organizational resources, incubation, and startup survival are validated empirically. The analysis used PLS-SEM on a sample of 119 startups operating in different markets in Peru. The results show that survival is explained directly by a combination of entrepreneurial and organizational capital but indirectly by a chain of causal links. In this way, social capital determines human capital, and human capital also determines entrepreneurial capital. Thus, this study contributes to the literature in management and entrepreneurship with one alternative way to measure a phenomenon of greater complexity to demonstrate the survival of Peruvian startups. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Effects of Innovations on Peruvian Companies’ Sales: The Mediating Role of KIBS(Elsevier BV, 2023-10-09)Companies increasingly embrace open business-to-business innovation. In this context, knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) play a crucial role as they can provide services and know-how to companies. As comparisons of digital innovation in Latin American companies are scarce, a more in-depth study is required of the role that KIBS plays in their digital innovation. This study therefore investigates the impact of KIBS and the implementation of innovations, including digital ones, on the sales of companies. Utilizing a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), we scrutinize data from 959 companies in Peru. The findings reveal that internally implemented innovations do not have a statistically significant direct effect on sales. However, outsourcing KIBS emerges as a positive mediator in this relationship. Specifically, we find that companies that subcontract those services are more likely to implement innovations and to achieve a positive impact on their sales in the short-term. Despite the opportunities that digital innovation brings, its direct effect on companies’ sales still needs to be improved, especially for manufacturing companies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Qualitative comparative analysis of the personal traits of managers, scientists, and innovators in corporate science(Elsevier BV, 2025-01-01)This study examined the personal traits that contribute to the success of corporate science projects in Peru by focusing on the roles of CEOs, scientists, and innovators. Although Peru has seen economic progress in recent decades, integrating scientific research into business strategies requires improvement, reflecting a common trend in emerging economies. Through a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and a sample of 56 participants, the configurations of personal characteristics that contribute to the success of such projects were identified. The results indicate that success depends not on a single attribute but on a combination of various capabilities. This study emphasizes the importance of adaptability and collaboration among key actors and suggests a management approach that blends technical skills with interpersonal competencies. The practical implications of this study emphasize the need to align corporate leadership with scientific and market dynamics, foster empathy and teamwork, and leverage external networks to enhance innovation. Strategies must be adapted to the specificities of emerging economies where science, technology, and innovation systems are still developing.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Networking, experimentation, and financing as drivers of accelerated growth in Peruvian startups(Springer Nature, 2025-12-01)This study assesses the impact of networking capability, experimentation capability, and access to financing on the accelerated growth of startups. Design/methodology/approach A quota sample of 119 Peruvian startups was analyzed using binary logistic regression across five models, each comprising different combinations of the three predictor variables. Findings The results indicate that family and friendship networks, academic background, and private capital exceeding USD 15,000 are significant predictors of growth. In contrast, professional networks and public funding programs show no statistically significant effect. Furthermore, experimentation capabilities—particularly those involving scientific knowledge and business model consolidation—are strongly associated with growth. Practical implications Managers should consider that a combination of access to funding, experimentation capability, and networking capability offers a better prediction of accelerated growth than any of these factors individually. In addition, policymakers should note that the amount of funding is crucial for the early-stage growth of startups. Originality/value This study contributes to the understanding of how dynamic capabilities drive the accelerated growth of startups in nascent ecosystems, such as the Peruvian context.2
