Entrepreneurs act in environments of great risk and high uncertainty, and as a result, failure is a common occurrence. For this volume, Professor Shepherd has made a judicious selection of published articles, which explore the antecedents to and potential outcomes of entrepreneurial failure. By understanding these causes and consequences, entrepreneurs may become better able to manage failure, to reduce its costs and to capitalize on its benefits. With an insightful original introduction by the editor, the book provides an authoritative guide to current scholarly debate in this topical area and lays a foundation for future study.

In most places, failure is stigmatized. Yet, failure is the most likely outcome in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs, particularly those wishing to remain in entrepreneurship, must be able to navigate failure. This dissertation is motivated by the question of how entrepreneurs recover from failure. Through interviews with founders of failed firms, I learn that entrepreneurs turn to failure narratives to make sense of entrepreneurial failure. By analyzing these failure narratives as cultural artifacts with audiences and genres, I learn that peers are a significant yet undertheorized audience of entrepreneurial failure narratives. After scoping the phenomenon to public peer-to-peer entrepreneurial failure narratives, I propose that peers are an ideally situated audience for making sense of failure while avoiding stigma because they are close enough to the failure experience to understand it but not so close as to be harmed by it. Because of this privileged position, entrepreneurs can turn to peers to learn from failure, collectively redefine failure on more positive terms, access necessary social capital, and re-affirm their entrepreneurial identity, which all contribute to recovery from failure and entrepreneurial persistence. I further propose that this peer engagement is made possible, vitally so in the case of isolated entrepreneurs, through the publication of the failure narrative. However, publication of a failure narrative should invoke stigma. Attribution theory suggests that entrepreneurial failure narrative authors may avoid peer stigma through rhetoric that externalizes failure, which should destigmatize their failure experience and help them to recover their social capital. I apply inductive computational text analysis and correspondence analysis to a set of startup postmortems published on blogging platform Medium.com to analyze how entrepreneurs talk about failure and how peers react to these rhetorics. I combine this with LinkedIn data to identify whether narrators continue in entrepreneurship. I find evidence to support the argument that externalizing rhetoric results in destigmatization. But I also find evidence that entrepreneurs turn to internalizing rhetoric to claim the entrepreneurial identity through their failure narrative. I show how positive peer response may play a critical role in entrepreneurial persistence by providing an empathetic support network that connects failed entrepreneurs to social capital. The final empirical chapter of the dissertation investigates community network dynamics as one mechanism for this relationship. I test the argument that more centrally embedded peer community members engage in more exclusionary community boundary work in response to failure narratives using data from a virtual entrepreneur community on Reddit. I confirm the importance of such online interactions through interviews with authors and commenters of failure narratives to determine whether commentary ties are activated off-line and whether they influence subsequent entrepreneurial outcomes. In a regression of comment sentiment on three measures of community embeddedness -- degree, betweenness, and tenure -- I find that embeddedness, particularly tenure, is directly related to stigmatization of failed members. However, by looking beyond the structure to the content of the tie, my findings suggest that the sentiment of a peer's response might instead predict future centrality, such that boundary work is the explanans rather than explanandum of peer community structure. In such a case, rather than gatekeepers excluding the stigmatized, supportive peers might act as a bridge that connects the stigmatized with social capital for failure recovery and ultimately expands the peer community. I conclude with prospective avenues for future research made possible by these studies.

Business failure research has been the focus of renewed interest in the entrepreneurship field. It is complex, being both a sign of economic vibrancy and the source of great individual trauma. An understanding of these complexities is important to academics, practitioners and regulators. This monograph provides a review of the literature to date. It charts the emergence of business failure research in the finance literature through to its recent development within the contemporary entrepreneurship field. The multidiscipline nature of business failure research is explored through incorporation of studies from accountancy, information systems, social psychology, general management, economics and entrepreneurship. Research on the topic is diverse; the lack of a universally accepted definition of failure coupled with the absence of an underpinning theory has resulted in an expansive range of studies. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive and critical review of business failure research, bridge the gap between the various perspectives, and develop a cohesive understanding of the phenomena, upon which future studies can be based.

If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.
