Abstract

Purpose

Even after establishing their business successfully, many business owners get demotivated, and it leads to unwillingness to grow. This study aims to propose a comprehensive model that represents interrelationships among various personal factors affecting “unwillingness to grow.”

Design/methodology/approach

The personal factors for unwillingness to grow were identified by extant literature, and expert interviews were conducted to establish the contextual relationships among these factors. The interrelationships among the filtered variables have been done using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis was done to determine the importance of each factor in influencing “unwillingness to grow.”

Findings

In total, 30 personal attributes were identified from previous literature, out of which 15 were selected for the final study. The result identifies 7 variables having a strong impact on “unwillingness to grow.” These attributes are “absence of strong network,” “lack of vision,” “lack of proactiveness,” “reluctance to involve external consultants,” “absence of/small founding team,” “lack of ambition” and “improper attitude.”

Originality/value

The research attempts to create a bricolage of all the important personal factors affecting “unwillingness to grow.” Previous researches have used few attributes, but with the help of ISM, a graphical modeling technique, it became possible to draw interrelationship between 15 attributes. Further, with the help of MICMAC, the importance of each attribute was determined.

小企业主为何失去动力?使用 ISM 方法模拟 "不愿发展 "的情况
目的许多企业主即使在成功创业后,也会失去动力,导致不愿发展。本研究旨在提出一个综合模型,以体现影响 "不愿发展 "的各种个人因素之间的相互关系。 设计/方法/途径 通过现有文献确定了 "不愿发展 "的个人因素,并进行了专家访谈,以建立这些因素之间的背景关系。使用解释性结构建模(ISM)和 MICMAC 分析法对筛选出的变量之间的相互关系进行了分析,以确定每个因素在影响 "不愿意成长 "方面的重要性。结果发现有 7 个变量对 "不愿意成长 "有很大影响。这些属性是:"缺乏强大的网络"、"缺乏远见"、"缺乏主动性"、"不愿意让外部顾问参与"、"缺乏创始团队/创始团队规模小"、"缺乏雄心 "和 "态度不端正"。 原创性/价值这项研究试图将影响 "不愿意发展 "的所有重要个人因素进行组合。以往的研究只使用了少数几个属性,但在 ISM(一种图形建模技术)的帮助下,有可能绘制出 15 个属性之间的相互关系。此外,在 MICMAC 的帮助下,还确定了每个属性的重要性。
