对创业精神和公司生命周期理论的研究都表明，新企业的发展可能会超出其创始团队的管理能力，此时创始人可能会被职业经理人取代。本研究探讨了影响创始人离职的因素。结果表明，创始人离职随着公司规模的增加而增加，随着创始人所有权和董事会成员身份的增加而减少，并与公司成长呈 U 形关系。从事研发工作或担任首席执行官的创始人离职的可能性也较小。
Research in entrepreneurship and life cycle theories of the firm have both suggested that new ventures may outgrow the managerial capabilities of their founding teams, at which point the founders may be replaced by professional managers. This study explored factors affecting founder departure. Results indicate that founder departure increases with firm size, decreases with founder ownership and board membership, and has a U-shaped relationship with firm growth. Founders who work in research and development or who are chief executives are also less likely to leave.
