In good company: The role of personal and inter-firm networks for new-venture internationalization in a transition economy
Journal of World Business, 2010Co-Authors: Tatiana S Manolova, Ivan M Manev, Bojidar S GyoshevAbstract:Although personal and inter-firm networks are critical for the survival and growth of entrepreneurial ventures in transition economies, their role in new-venture internationalization has been understudied. Exploring the internationalization of entrepreneurial ventures (n = 623) in Bulgaria, we find that domestic personal networks have a positive effect on internationalization. Firm age negatively moderates the effect of inter-firm networks: the earlier the new venture engages in inter-firm collaboration, the higher the degree of its internationalization. Internationalization is positively associated with new venture size and varies by industry. Implications for Managerial Practice and public policy are discussed.

institutional environments for entrepreneurship evidence from emerging economies in eastern europe
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 2007Co-Authors: Tatiana S Manolova, Rangamohan V Eunni, Bojidar S GyoshevAbstract:In this article, we sought to empirically validate an instrument for measuring country institutional profiles for the promotion of entrepreneurship in a sample of 254 business students from three emerging economies: Bulgaria, Hungary, and Latvia. Results from the confirmatory factor analysis suggest high reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the instrument. Further, we find important differences in the three dimensions (regulatory, cognitive, and normative) of the institutional profiles across the three emerging economies, reflecting their idiosyncratic cultural norms and values, traditions, and institutional heritage in promoting entrepreneurship. Implications for future research, Managerial Practice, and public policy are discussed.

breaking the family and friends circle predictors of external financing usage among men and women entrepreneurs in a transitional economy
Venture Capital: An International Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance, 2006Co-Authors: Tatiana S Manolova, Ivan M Manev, Nancy M. Carter, Bojidar S GyoshevAbstract:This study looks at the differential effects of men and women entrepreneurs' human capital and network diversity on the likelihood of using external sources of financing (sources other than personal savings, family and friends) in the context of a transitional economy. Moderated logistical regression models using survey data from men and women new venture owners in Bulgaria (n = 555) suggest the likelihood of using external sources of financing is positively and significantly associated with the diversity of the entrepreneur's social network. Further, this effect is moderated by gender, suggesting that men make a better use of their social networks to secure sources of external financing. Implications for Managerial Practice and public policy are discussed.

Antenarrative and Managerial Practice
Communication Studies, 2004Co-Authors: J. Kevin BargeAbstract:An antenarrative approach to organizational communication acknowledges the fragmented, collective, situated, and performative nature of organizational stories and storytelling. Adopting an antenarrative approach to Managerial Practice focuses our attention on the ways individuals manage the multi‐voiced nonlinear character of organizfitional life. Antenarrative theory and its significance for Managerial Practice is overviewed followed by an explication of how an organizational consultancy firm has developed systemic story making as a core Practice for managing the multiple, often conflicting stories comprising organizational experience. Systemic story making raises significant issues regarding how antenarrative theory may consider the relationships among stories, inquiry, and change.

Reflexivity and Managerial Practice
Communication Monographs, 2004Co-Authors: J. Kevin BargeAbstract:Within the postmodern and critical Managerial communication and pedagogical literature, reflexivity has traditionally been conceptualized as an epistemological Practice that emphasizes intellectual critique. Little attention has been given to how managers act reflexively in conversation with other organizational members. This study sampled managers who were trained from a communication perspective that emphasizes reflexive Practice. The results suggest managers adopt a more relationally responsive approach to reflexivity within their conversational Practice, which incorporates elements of intellectual critique. Three implications of a relationally responsive approach to reflexivity within Managerial Practice are highlighted: (1) reflexive Practice should be viewed as a relational activity that highlights issues of situated judgment, timing, and rhythm within conversation, (2) reflexive Practice emphasizes inclusive, respectful, and safe communication, and (3) reflexive Practice is connected to empowerment.

Working with Appreciation in Managerial Practice
Academy of Management Review, 2003Co-Authors: J. Kevin Barge, Christine OliverAbstract:Using a poststructuralist view of Managerial Practice, we elaborate the notion of working appreciatively by focusing on the contested, emergent meaning of appreciation. We begin by articulating a set of concerns regarding the traditional treatment of appreciation within Managerial Practice and suggest that working with appreciation requires cultivating an appreciative spirit. An appreciative spirit is enhanced when managers develop (1) an appreciation for the life enhancing, (2) an appreciation of the connection between spirit and technique, and (3) an appreciation for reflexivity.
