Handbook of Bioentrepreneurship
Providing an important and timely overview of research on the exciting area of entrepreneurship in biotechnology, The Handbook of Bioentrepreneurship examines one of the most promising industries of the 21st century. While genetically engineered food and biopharmaceuticals have made biotechnology part of our everyday life, starting a bioventure is among the most complex and risky entrepreneurial tasks given long development cycles, high technological and market uncertainty, and high capital intensity. Providing unparalleled in-depth and detailed analysis, this Handbook sheds light on business models and strategies, financing, cooperation networks between firms and universities, among other issues. With new developments in biotechnology increasingly in the news, this is an important source for readers interested in public policy, entrepreneurship, and business in the 21st century.
Advances in Interdisciplinary European Entrepreneurship Research
This book presents a selection of the best papers from the second annual Interdisciplinary European Conference on Entrepreneurship Research (IECER), held at the University of Regensburg in February 2004. The papers in this book have several overarching themes. One theme concerns the success factors that affect high-growth entrepreneurial firms in general. A second group of papers looks at specific factors influencing entrepreneurial firms in particular countries, and another set focuses on new ventures in different industrial settings. A final group of papers focuses on the entrepreneur and his/her impact on firm development.
The Oxford Handbook of Private Equity
The term private equity typically includes investments in venture capital or growth investment, as well as late stage, mezzanine, turnaround (distressed), and buyout investments. It typically refers to the asset class of equity securities in companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange. However, private equity funds do in fact make investments in publicly held companies, and some private equity funds are even publicly listed. Chapters in this book cover both private and public company investments, as well as private and publicly listed private equity funds. This Handbook provides a comprehensive picture of the issues surrounding the structure, governance, and performance of pri...
Private Equity Investments
Private Equity experienced dramatic flutuations in investment activity in line with the turbulences of financial markets in recent years. Claudia Sommer develops a theoretical framework of factors driving private equity investment activity and the resulting performance implications. Using a data set of more than 40,000 European transations between 1990 and 2009 she applies a variety of econometrial approaches and shows how neoclassical aspects, information asymmetries, agency conflicts, and market timing contribute to the dynamics in the private equity market. In a performance analysis of more than 1,300 European private equity funds, she reveals how fund performance is linked to investment activity.
Venture Capital in the Changing World of Entrepreneurship
It was not that long ago that it might have been possible to cover the topic of venture capital in one paper. Now, it is not possible to provide comprehensive coverage in even one book. The industry has flourished, as variations of he initial venture capital funds have been developed and now operates in most developing and developed economies. This is clearly reflected in this volume, which has a strong focus on Europe and Asia. Each of the papers is a stand alone effort. However, a full reading of the volume provides a panoramic picture of the global extent of venture capital, some of its challenges, and the likely direction of future efforts. Venture capital and the venture capitalist have been shown to have a positive impact on performance in many cases. This is clearly the reason why some many emerging economies want to increase the level of venture capital investment in their country.

Entrepreneurship in the Region
Entrepreneurship in the Region approaches many different aspects of entrepreneurship from a regional perspective. The regional influences on entrepreneurship analyzed entail regional peculiarities and disparities in new business formation processes, the success and the employment effects of new firms, the importance of social capital and of network structures as well as entrepreneurship education and training provided in the regions. The articles in this book provide strong evidence for the importance of regional factors that shape entrepreneurship and new firm formation processes. It is shown that regional differences of start-up rates and entrepreneurial attitudes are not at all elusive but tend to be rather persistent and prevail over longer periods of time. The evidence clearly suggests that the regional level can be an appropriate starting point for entrepreneurship policy and that research on the issue may considerably benefit from properly accounting for the spatial dimension.
Erfolgskonstellationen im Apothekenmarkt
Die Analyse zeigt, dass die Apotheken in den alten Bundesländern eine (schwach) signifikant höhere Umsatzrentabilität aufweisen. Ansonsten spielten regionale Faktoren in Bezug auf die wirtschaftlichen Parameter und weitere wettbewerblichen Positionierungsabfragen der Apotheken – mit Ausnahme der Apothekenanzahl und der Kaufkraft – keine wesentliche Rolle. Bei der Kaufkraft der Kunden ergab sich bei rezeptpflichtigen Arzneimittel und freiverkäuflichen Arzneimitteln ein gegenläufiger Effekt auf den jeweiligen Umsatzanteil der Apotheken. Die Innovationsneigung der Apotheker hat den stärksten Einfluss auf die Erfolgsparameter „Nettoumsatzentwicklung“ und „Umsatzrentabilität“.
