Abstract
Prior research shows the importance of trading communities in the Indian economy. We investigate whether these trading communities have an advantage in firm founding and/or firm survival. While prior research suggests that trusted within-community networks enable access to resources and knowledge and help support entrepreneurs from these communities, some scholars show that community ties constrain entrepreneurial options and produce lock-in. We hypothesise that trading communities in India have higher founding and survival rates and we find strong support for our hypotheses. Our research contributes to research on communities and entrepreneurship, and to our understanding of the Indian entrepreneurial context.
期刊介绍：
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
