  • Positivity and higher alertness levels facilitate discovery: Longitudinal sentiment analysis of emotions on Twitter
    Item type: Journal Article

    Technovation
    Emotions stimulate and shape entrepreneurial alertness. In a first U.S.-based study, we analyzed self-reports of entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs by measuring differences in valence in emotions using the frequently applied Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) scale for trait affectivity. In a second study, we explored 28,478 tweets of 185 successful entrepreneurs and 264 non-entrepreneurs (both drawn from Forbes lists) from 2009 to 2021, categorizing their tweeted words into positive and negative based on the Harvard IV-4 dictionary. While the model of Study 1 stresses that examples of positiveness, such as interested, excited, enthusiastic, and inspired, facilitate entrepreneurial alertness levels, which in turn accelerate levels of entrepreneurial discovery, Study 2's sentiment analysis highlights the significant difference between entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs’ word usage—successful entrepreneurs tend to use more positive words in their tweets than successful non-entrepreneurs. Our results aim to inform and inspire entrepreneurial educators, policymakers, and (potential) entrepreneurs regarding how positiveness shapes entrepreneurial alertness, which promotes the discovery of potential new business ideas.

  • The Internet of Things and the case of Bosch: Changing business models while staying true to yourself
    Item type: Journal Article
    Leiting, Ann-Kathrin; De Cuyper, Lien; Kauffmann, Christian (2022)

    The Internet of Things (IoT) has disrupted many existing industries and provided new business opportunities to new and incumbent firms. In this paper, we focus on how companies change the way they work and organize themselves in light of IoT. Based on a single case study of Bosch, one of the largest incumbent German engi-neering firms, we shed light on how a product-centric company that focused on manufacturing for more than a century, adapts its business model to transform into an IoT company. We outline the changes that occur in terms of the company's (1) value proposition, (2) value creation, and (3) value capture. Our findings show how some of the imprinted company values play a crucial role in this transformation. Through a mechanism we call imprint anchoring, we find that these core company values serve as a leverage for Bosch to transform into an IoT provider.
  • Formal and informal appropriation mechanisms: the role of openness and innovativeness
    Item type: Journal Article
    Zobel, Ann-Kristin; Lokshin, Boris; Hagedoorn, John (2017)
    Technovation
    This paper analyses how firms’ degree of openness and innovativeness influence their use of formal and informal appropriation mechanisms. Patents, trademarks, copyrights, and design rights are formal appropriation mechanisms. Secrecy, lead-time, and complexity are examples of informal appropriation mechanisms. Both external search breadth and depth are positively associated with firms’ use of informal appropriation mechanisms, while only external search breadth is positively associated with formal appropriation mechanisms. Firms’ degree of radical (incremental) innovation orientation is negatively (positively) associated with their use of formal appropriation mechanisms. Analysis of the joint impact of openness and innovativeness, suggests that for radical innovators it is external search breadth (rather than depth) that has a positive association with the use of informal appropriation mechanisms. In contrast, for radical innovators external search depth (rather than breadth) is associated with the use of formal appropriation mechanisms. For incremental innovators, external search breadth (rather than depth) is associated with the use of both formal and informal appropriation mechanisms.
