    Novice vs habitual entrepreneurship: differences in motivations, actions and expectations
    (Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship, Swinburne University of Technology, 2009) Gordon, S.R.; Davidsson, P.; Steffens, P.R.; 6th International AGSE Entrepreneurship Research Exchange (3 Feb 2009 - 6 Feb 2009 : Adelaide, SA); Gillin, L.M.
    This research examines habitual entrepreneurship as undertaken by those currently creating a new firm and those who recently had. The suggestion is that habitual entrepreneurs have different motivations for firm creation, take different actions during the process, and have different expectations for outcomes, as compared to novices. Data drawn from a random sample of over 1100, nascent and new firms, in part, support this view. It was found that habitual entrepreneurs are motivated to grow their firm as large as possible, actively define market opportunities during firm gestation, and have circumspect expectations as to the difficulty of business survival.

    The comprehensive Australian Study of Entrepreneurial Emergence (CAUSEE) high potential nascent entrepreneurs: some preliminary findings
    (Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship, Swinburne University of Technology, 2009) Senyard, J.M.; Davidsson, P.; Gordon, S.R.; Steffens, P.R.; 6th International AGSE Entrepreneurship Research Exchange (3 Feb 2009 - 6 Feb 2009 : Adelaide, SA); Gillin, L.
    The Comprehensive Australian Study of Entrepreneurial Emergence (CAUSEE) is the first Australian research to employ the large scale, longitudinal research originally developed for the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED) (Reynolds, 2007.) In recognition of PSED-type random samples being dominated by imitative low potential ventures (non “high potentials”: non HP), CAUSEE employed a methodology using novel criteria to develop theoretically representative samples of the “high potential” (HP) firms. This paper presents preliminary results of the CAUSEE research. Comparing HPs with other firms, HPs spend a longer time in gestation, are more often created by teams, are male dominated, have higer use of outside advisors, venture capital and angel investment and exhibit more internationalisation activity.
