Finally, the third essay looks at the role of knowledge breadth in post-acquisition performance. Building on the knowledge-based view we test the hypothesis that the focal firm's knowledge breadth has an inverse-U shaped relationship with post-acquisition performance. We also test how the firm's industry uncertainty and the nation's cultural distance influence this relationship. We do these tests on both market measures and internal growth measures of performance. Using 1,209 acquisitions with targets from 40 different nations we find differing results between the external and internal market growth measures and significant cross-level interactions.

Why do most new firms which survive not grow while a handful grow sporadically, and rare outliers grow disproportionately? The prolific multi-disciplinary firm growth literature offers limited, disjointed, and inconclusive explanations of new venture growth. This dissertation, structured in three essays, examines the under-investigated nonlinear processes and outcomes of growth in new firms from different angles. In the first essay, the notion of new firm growth is explored from a theoretical perspective and a novel overarching conceptualization is proposed that spans across different theoretical lenses and levels of analysis. Reconciling different theoretical approaches is important because no single theory developed so far singlehandedly offers a comprehensive explanation as to why new firm growth is rare, sporadic, and highly skewed. By reframing the Penrose resource logic of firm growth as a system of process-outcome interactions and making use of organizational theories of change to further characterize these interactions, the essay proposes that nonlinear patterns of resource accumulation within and across new firms arise from feedback loops between teleological, evolutionary, and dialectical mechanisms of organizational change. This allows to reconcile three seemingly juxtaposing theoretical perspectives on the causality of firm growth being deterministic, voluntaristic or stochastic Firm-level growth nonlinearities are explored empirically in the second essay by testing the assumption of non-linear effects of resources on new firm growth. Emphasis is placed on financial resources, because they are foundational to acquiring other forms of resources, are highly versatile and comparable across industries and settings. Competing hypotheses of a positive linear, negative linear and curvilinear effect of financial resources on early growth outcomes in new firms are tested by aggregating meta-analytic evidence across a sample of published studies. By rejecting the linear positive and linear negative hypotheses and confirming the curvilinear relationship, the findings indicate more nuanced effects of versatile resources on growth in the uncertain context of new firms than prominently considered in resource-based literature. In the final essay, population-level nonlinearities of growth are studied by exploring under which conditions a parsimonious process whereby new firms allocate resources to pursue uncertain opportunities may explain the empirical regularities (rare, sporadic, and highly skewed) of new firm growth and result in a heavy-tailed distribution of growth outcomes across a population of new firms. Using an agent-based simulation, we also control for key parameters potentially influencing the process. Closest alignment of the proposed process with empirical regularities is found when (i) founding sizes of new firms are normally distributed, (ii) new firms follow bounded rationality rules to select which uncertain opportunities to pursue rather than randomly pick them, and (iii) the degree of uncertainty affecting opportunities is low to moderate. These findings shed new light on other generative mechanisms of growth and heavytailed firm size distributions considered in literature. The essay also introduces novel operationalizations of important theoretical constructs in entrepreneurship literature: opportunity, uncertainty, and product market fit

This dissertation is composed of three essays in which I examine the influence of formal institutions on entrepreneurs and new firms. In the first essay, "The Influence of Institutions on the Likelihood of Self-Employment: A Multilevel Analysis" I examine how institutions at the country-level are related to the likelihood that individuals in those country are self-employed. Country-level measures of formal institutions are paired with individual-level data on self-employment from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (Reynolds et al., 2005). Using the Fraser Institute's Economic Freedom of the World index and the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom separately as measures of institutions, I find that sound money in a country is positively associated with individual self-employment with both indices. Property rights and trade freedom are positively related to self-employed using the Economic Freedom of the World index. In the second essay, "Labor Market Institutions and New Firm Employment Growth,'" I examine how state-level labor market characteristics such as minimum wages, union densities, and unemployment insurance premiums influence employment growth in new firms. I use firm-level data from the Kauffman Firm Survey (DesRoches, Robb, & Mulcahy, 2009), which contains data from several thousand new firms for years 2004-2008. Minimum wages, union densities, and unemployment insurance structure do not predict the level of employment in new firms in the manner hypothesized. In the third essay, "The Impact of Taxes and Regulations on New Firm Births and Deaths in State Border Counties" I examine how state-level measures of government size, taxation burdens, unionization levels, and minimum wages influence the birth and death rates of firms in counties located on state borders. Tabulations containing data on establishment births and deaths by U.S. County (Plummer & Headd, 2008) were merged with measures of government size, taxation burdens, union densities, and minimum wages. I find a negative relationship between the overall tax burden and the birth rate of new firms. However, unionization, minimum wages and government size are not related to the birth and death rates of firms in the manner hypothesized.

Published in 1971: At first glance it might seem that the three subjects dealt with in the essays written over the last twenty years and now collected in this volume could hardly be more diverse, beginning with the growth of the firm and moving from the international petroleum industry to the Middle East generally. Oddly enough, however, these subjects are connected by the same type of historical logic that characterizes the diversification of an industrial firm: the logic in the simple principle that one thing leads to another.
