German panel of nascent entrepreneurs

Abstract

"The overall objective of the German Panel of Nascent Entrepreneurs (GEPANE) is to identify those determinants that either turn nascent entrepreneurs into actual entrepreneurs (owner managers of new firms or 'young entrepreneurs') or lead to a discontinuation of the original start-up idea. These factors may be broken down into person-related determinants, environmental determinants, and organizational determinants. As such, the project covers more or less three partly overlapping areas that capture most of the recent research on nascent entrepreneurs and related panels: characteristics of nascent entrepreneurs, antecedents, and characteristics of the new venture creation process; and explaining new venture creation process outcomes."
