Abstract
This research focused on the effects of prior experiences based on the imprinting theory that how individual-level imprints are transferred to the organizational level. The research attempted to answer the question of how owners’ career imprints affect the performance of ventures. Ventures operating in the technology sector were categorized according to their academic and industry background. The results showed that although academic-partnered ventures were found to generate more patents, their performance is lower than non-academic partnered ventures. This research has theoretical and practical contributions providing results that show different institutional contexts lead to different outcomes through the occupational imprinting effect.
期刊介绍：
In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
