Entrepreneurship Studies and Influences Firm Innovation and Growth Migration, Ethnicity, and Economy

Abstract

The firm’s superior performance is the main goal of every business. Therefore, it is very important to identify the factors that lead towards the success of the business. The existing studies have demonstrated the impact of several factors on the firm’s performance. However, the aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of demographic characteristics (age and gender) and personal characteristics (need for achievement, need for cognition and internal locus of control) of the entrepreneurs on the firm’s performance by considering the mediating role of entrepreneur orientation and then to suggest a new theoretical framework in this regard. The review of studies has revealed the positive relationship between the demographic and personal characteristics of the entrepreneurs and firm’s performance. The mediating role of entrepreneur orientation is also evident in the previous studies. Based on the existing studies, a new theoretical framework has been proposed in this paper to study the impact of some selected demographic and personal characteristics of entrepreneurs on the performance of the firm. This new proposed model might be helpful in providing the useful insights regarding the impact of understudy factors on the firm’s performance and will improve our understanding regarding the most influential factors for the success of the firm.
