项目摘要

The HM Government Industrial Strategy (HM Government, 2017) highlights how the productivity lag of the UK can to an extent be attributed to deficiencies in the access that young and small enterprises have to managerial training and mentoring (Bloom, Dorgan, Dowdy & Van Reenen, 2007; Bloom & Van Reenen, 2006; Office for National Statistics, 2017). The Government's Industrial Strategy proposes increased dissemination of best practice among small enterprises to offer one solution to address this training and productivity gap. During the proposed postdoctoral fellowship, I seek to respond to this call by communicating my research to a broad academic, practitioner and policymaker audience for evidence-based practice improvement. My workplan builds on the DPhil research that I completed at the University of Oxford. This research explored how the business environment, specifically the national network of public and private sector partners promoting, co-ordinating and delivering business support, influenced the entrepreneurial practices of ventures founded by laidoff employees of a large corporation. In the remainder of the application, I will refer to the networks of public and private sector partners promoting, co-ordinating and delivering business support as entrepreneurship support partnerships.Empirically, the research explored the development of circa 300 ventures that originated from a Nokia corporate redundancy programme in Finland between 2011 and 2014. I utilised interview and archival data to study how the ventures associated with their local entrepreneurship support partnerships and how their engagement with the partnerships subsequently influenced their development and productivity. The case of the Nokia post-redundancy ventures offered a good starting point to observe the role of business environments in shaping the development of young ventures, as the venture founders reflected highly homogeneous educational and professional backgrounds. They also all benefited from equal access to the services of the local entrepreneurship support partnerships.The research found the entrepreneurship support partnerships to direct both the practices and the productivity of the new ventures. Unlike commonly assumed, the findings showed the entrepreneurship support partnerships not to form unitary entities but rather to split into separate clusters. The findings propose that the clusters of entrepreneurship support partnerships may reflect heterogeneous hierarchies and practices with direct influence on the practises and productivity of new ventures. Finally, the findings highlight how the entrepreneurship support partnerships, despite being designed to encourage entrepreneurial development, may, in fact, at times restrict the progress of young ventures. The findings have implications for the policy and practice of entrepreneurship. For policymakers, the findings highlight how some aspects of entrepreneurship support partnerships may constrain venture development. For practitioners, the findings demonstrate the importance of sensitivity to the hierarchies and practices of the entrepreneurship support partnerships in order to utilise these to the ventures' full benefit. In response to the HM Government's call in its industrial strategy for improved managerial training and dissemination of best practice, the research thus offers evidence-based groundwork for increased awareness and improved skills of policymakers and practitioners. In order to achieve increased awareness of the research and ultimate behavioural change, I have put in place a detailed impact delivery plan that engages a range of academics, policymakers and practitioners in discussion and diffusion of the research findings. The plan covers written and spoken communications in different media, training activity delivery as well as in person engagement with a Local Enterprise Partnership Growth Hub.

《英国政府工业战略》(《英国政府》，2017)强调，英国的生产率落后在一定程度上可以归因于年轻和小型企业在获得管理培训和指导方面的不足(Bloom，Dgan，Dowdy&Van Reenen，2007；Bloom&Van Reenen，2006；国家统计局，2017)。政府的工业战略建议在小企业中更多地传播最佳做法，为解决这一培训和生产力差距提供一种解决办法。在拟议的博士后奖学金期间，我试图通过向广大学术界、实践者和政策制定者传达我的研究来响应这一呼吁，以改进循证实践。我的工作计划建立在我在牛津大学完成的DPhil研究的基础上。这项研究探索了商业环境，特别是促进、协调和提供商业支持的国家公共和私营部门合作伙伴网络，如何影响由大公司下岗员工创建的企业的创业实践。在申请的其余部分，我将提到促进、协调和提供商业支持的公共和私营部门合作伙伴网络，作为创业支持合作伙伴。令人欣慰的是，这项研究探索了大约300家企业的发展，这些企业源于2011年至2014年期间诺基亚在芬兰的一项企业裁员计划。我利用采访和档案数据，研究了与当地企业家有关的企业如何支持合作伙伴关系，以及他们与合作伙伴关系的参与随后如何影响他们的发展和生产率。诺基亚裁员后创业公司的案例为观察商业环境在塑造年轻企业发展中的作用提供了一个很好的起点，因为创业公司的创始人反映了高度同质的教育和专业背景。他们还受益于平等地获得当地创业支持伙伴关系的服务。研究发现，创业支持伙伴关系指导着新企业的实践和生产率。与通常的假设不同，研究结果表明，企业家支持的伙伴关系不是形成单一的实体，而是分裂为单独的集群。研究结果表明，创业支持伙伴关系的集群可能反映了不同的等级和做法，对新企业的做法和生产率有直接影响。最后，研究结果强调，创业支持伙伴关系尽管旨在鼓励创业发展，但实际上有时可能会限制年轻企业的进展。这一发现对创业的政策和实践具有一定的启示意义。对于政策制定者来说，这些发现突显出创业支持伙伴关系的某些方面可能会限制风险投资的发展。对于从业者来说，研究结果证明了对创业支持伙伴关系的等级和做法的敏感性的重要性，以便将这些利用到企业的全部利益中。为响应英国政府在其工业战略中提出的改善管理培训和传播最佳做法的呼吁，这项研究为提高政策制定者和从业人员的认识和技能提供了循证基础。为了提高对研究和最终行为变化的认识，我制定了一项详细的影响交付计划，让一系列学者、政策制定者和从业人员参与研究结果的讨论和传播。该计划涵盖不同媒体的书面和口头交流、培训活动的交付以及与当地企业伙伴关系增长中心的面对面接触。
