Item Corporate governance in immigrant-founded entrepreneurial firms: ownership heterogeneity and firm performance(Venture Capital, 2023-02) Moghaddam, Kaveh; Judge, William Q.; Lewellyn, Krista B.; Askarzadeh, FatemehDrawing from resource dependence theory and the faultlines perspective, this study examines how ownership heterogeneity affects firm performance in the understudied context of entrepreneurial firms founded by immigrants. We find that investment by venture capitalists (VCs) is associated with immigrant-founded entrepreneurial firms being less profitable during their infancy stage. Our results also reveal that the presence of a native-born co-owner has a negative effect on performance for these entrepreneurial firms. This study suggests that immigrant entrepreneurs be more cautious about the costs and benefits of seeking resources from VCs and partnering with native co-owners. Further, seeking capital from alternative sources and employing native talent and expertise in terms of business advisers or executive managers may be effective alternative approaches for immigrant entrepreneurs.

The moderating role of the national business system(Elsevier Inc, 2017-09) Zattoni, Alessandro; Witt, Michael A.; Judge, William Q.; Talaulicar, Till; Chen, Jean Jinghan; Lewellyn, Krista B.; Hu, Helen Wei; Gabrielsson, Jonas; Rivas, Jose Luis; Puffer, Sheila; Shukla, Dhirendra; Lopez, Felix; Adegbite, Emmanuel; Fassin, Yves; Fainshmidt, Stav; van Ees, HansPrior evidence suggests that board independence may enhance financial performance, but this relationship has been tested almost exclusively for Anglo-American countries. To explore the boundary conditions of this prominent governance mechanism, we examine the impact of the formal and information institutions of 18 national business systems on the board independence-financial performance relationship. Our results show that while the direct effect of independence is weak, national-level institutions significantly moderate the independence-performance relationship. Our findings suggest that the efficacy of board structures is likely to be contingent on the specific national context, but the type of legal system is insignificant.
