| Title: | | Contingency Factors and the Technology-Performance-Relationship in Start-ups  |
| Authors: | | Schmidt, Arne Walter, Sascha G. Walter, Achim |
| Issue Date: | | 2-Aug-2010 |
| Abstract: | | This study identifies the pace of technological development and market heterogeneity as crucial environmental conditions shaping start-ups’ performance when commercializing radical technologies. Using a unique dataset that combines survey and patent data for 85 technology-based start-ups, we found that technological radicalness has a positive effect on performance when the development pace in a start-up’s technological field is high. Contrarily, under heterogeneous market conditions, technological radicalness diminishes a start-up’s performance. The results emphasize that the impact of technological radicalness on start-ups’ performance is context specific. Overall, these findings contribute to a better understanding of when technological radicalness represents an asset or a liability for technology-based startups. |
