a conceptual model of entrepreneurship as Firm Behavior
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1991Co-Authors: Jeffrey G. Covin, Dennis P. SlevinAbstract:This analysis develops a conceptual model of entrepreneurial Behavior at the organizational level. Entrepreneurship is considered to be a dimension of strategic posture, and thus all manner of organizationals may behave entrepreneurially. This strategic posture encompasses a Firm's risk-taking propensity, its ability to be competitively aggressive, proactive manners, and product innovation. Key characteristics for the creation of this organizational model are presented -- the dependent variable is Firm performance; environmental, organization, and individual level variables are utilized; and both direct and moderator effects are included. The external variables consist of environmental technological sophistication, environmental dynamism, environmental hostility, and industry life cycle stage, while the internal variables are top management values and philosophies, organizational resources and competencies, organizational culture, and organizational structure. Strategic variables are mission strategy and business practices and competitive tactics. Forty-four propositions are derived from this model. Among the theoretical and managerial implications. First, Firms should be viewed as entrepreneurial entities, and this entrepreneurial Behavior is often an integral part of the Firm's management. Further, entrepreneurial posture can be managed. (SRD)

A Conceptual Model of Entrepreneurship as Firm Behavior
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1991Co-Authors: Jeffrey G. Covin, Dennis P. SlevinAbstract:This article outiines a conceptual model of entrepreneurship as an organizatlonal-ievei plienomenon. The model is intended to depict the organizational system elements that relate to entrepreneurial Behavior among larger, established Firms, but may also be appli-cable in varying degrees to many smaller Firms. Entrepreneurship is described as a dimen-sion of strategic posture represented by a Firm's risk-taking propensity, tendency to act in competitively aggressive, proactive manners, and reliance on frequent and extensive prod-uct innovation. The proposed model deiineates the antecedents and consequences of an entrepreneurial posture as well as the variables that moderate the relationship between entrepreneuriai posture and Firm performance. The advantages of a Firm-Behavior perspec-tive on entrepreneursfiip are discussed, as are the theoretical and managerial implications of such a perspective.

Firm Behavior under quantity controls the theory of virtual quantities
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 2016Co-Authors: Dale SquiresAbstract:The theory of virtual quantities, the dual to virtual prices, provides a framework to analyze competitive multiproduct Firm Behavior under multiple quantity controls on inputs and outputs, including command-and-control quotas and transferable property rights. The framework addresses the Firm׳s reactions to regulatory controls, impacts of adding or dropping quantity controls, inferring unrationed from rationed production, and conversion from command-and-control quotas to cap-and-trade systems with transferable property rights and secondary market Behavior. The paper develops reasons for failure of quasi-concavity of technology, extends the elasticity of intensity׳s properties, and integrates the virtual price and virtual quantity frameworks. Virtual quantities are applied to assess potential Firm responses to quantity controls and a potential transferable property right in a Malaysian fishery.

Firm Behavior under input rationing
Journal of Econometrics, 1994Co-Authors: Dale SquiresAbstract:Abstract This paper uses the concept of virtual prices to evaluate the impact of an input quantity constraint, such as a ration or quantity control, upon the competitive multiproduct profit-maximizing Firm's factor demand, output supply, multiproduct cost and revenue structures, marginal implicit valuations of fixed factors, and capacity utilization. The properties of the input-rationed and unrationed output supply and factor demand functions, costs, and capacity utilization are related, consistently describing Behavior under both regimes. Both Hicksian and Marshallian functions are assessed. The potential effects of input rationing upon wet rice production and labor utilization in the islands of Indonesia off-Java serves as a case study.

sarbanes oxley section 406 code of ethics for senior financial officers and Firm Behavior
Journal of Business Ethics, 2018Co-Authors: Saurabh Ahluwalia, O C Ferrell, Linda Ferrell, Terri L RittenburgAbstract:Abstract Sarbanes–Oxley Section 406 requires a code of ethics for top financial and accounting officers in public companies. The objective of this research is to discover the impact of a financial code of ethics on Firm Behavior. We performed a longitudinal tracking of Firm adoption of a financial code of ethics starting in 2005. We checked these companies’ codes again in 2011 to conFirm their continued implementation. Financial restatements were used as a dependent variable to measure improved financial reporting after the adoption of the financial codes. The results conFirm that the adoption of a financial code of ethics improves the integrity of financial reporting.

not so demanding demand structure and Firm Behavior
The American Economic Review, 2017Co-Authors: Monika Mrazova, Peter J NearyAbstract:We show that any well-behaved demand function can be represented by its demand manifold, a smooth curve which relates the elasticity and convexity of demand. This manifold is a sufficient statistic for many comparative statics questions; leads naturally to characterizations of new families of demand functions which nest most of those used in applied economics; and connects assumptions about demand structure with Firm Behavior and economic performance. In particular, we show that the demand manifold leads to new insights about industry adjustment with heterogeneous Firms, and provides a quantitative framework for measuring the effects of globalization.

not so demanding preference structure Firm Behavior and welfare
2013Co-Authors: Peter J Neary, Monika MrazovaAbstract:We introduce two new tools for relating preferences and demand to Firm Behavior and economic performance. The "Demand Manifold" links the elasticity and convexity of an arbitrary demand function; the "Utility Manifold" links the elasticity and concavity of an arbitrary utility function. Along the way we present some new families of demand functions; show how the structure of demand and preferences determine the responses of monopoly Firms and monopolistically competitive industries to exogenous shocks; characterize the efficiency of a monopolistically competitive equilibrium; and present a quantitative framework for predicting the welfare effects of exogenous shocks.
