Entrepreneurs From Technology-Based Universities: Evidence From MIT Abstract This paper analyzes major patterns and trends in entrepreneurship among technology-based university alumni since the 1930s by asking two related research questions: (1) Who enters entrepreneurship, and has this changed over time? (2) How does the rate of entrepreneurship vary with changes in the entrepreneurial business environment? We describe findings based on data from two linked datasets joining Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) alumni and founder information. New company formation rates by MIT alumni have grown dramatically over seven decades, and the median age of first time entrepreneurs has gradually declined from about age 40 (1950s) to about age 30 (1990s). Women alumnae lag their male counterparts in the rate at which they become entrepreneurs, and alumni who are not U.S. citizens enter entrepreneurship at different (usually higher) rates relative to their American classmates. New venture foundings over time are correlated with measures of the changing external entrepreneurial and business environment, suggesting that future research in this domain may wish to more carefully examine such factors.

  • Alibaba: Entrepreneurial Growth and Global Expansion in B2B/B2C Markets
    JIntEntrep DOI 10.1007/s10843-017-0207-2 Alibaba: Entrepreneurial growth and global expansion in B2B/B2C markets Syed Tariq Anwar 1 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2017 Abstract The purpose of this case-based research is to analyze and discuss Alibaba Group (hereafter Alibaba) and its entrepreneurial growth and global expansion in B2B/ B2C markets. The paper uses company and industry-specific data and surveys to analyze a fast growing Chinese B2B/B2C firm and its internationalization and expan- sion in global markets. Findings of the work reveal that in a short time, Alibaba has become a major entrepreneurial icon and global player and continues to grow world- wide because of its well-planned business initiatives and B2B/B2C-based business models. The paper also provides implications in the area of international entrepreneur- ship and its related areas. International entrepreneurs need to learn from Alibaba’sfast growing business model and dynamic growth because of its competitive platforms and Web-based strategies which helped the company to target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in global markets. Within the areas of international entrepreneurship and international business, the paper also provides discussion which deals with the changing e-commerce industry and its future growth and developments. El objetivo de esta investigación basada en casos de negocios es analizar y discutir el Grupo Alibaba (de aquí en adelante Alibaba) y su crecimiento empresarial y la expansión global en mercados de B2B/B2C. El ensayo utiliza estadísticas y encuestas específicas a la compañía e industria para analizar una empresa china B2B/B2C y su internalización y expansión en los mercados globales.

  • Entrepreneurs from Technology-Based Universities: an Empirical First Look
    PRELIMINARY Not for copying, distribution or quotation Entrepreneurs from Technology-Based Universities: An Empirical First Look by David H. Hsu*, Edward B. Roberts** and Charles E. Eesley*** Draft Date: September 2005 Abstract This paper provides an initial analysis of major patterns and trends in entrepreneurship among technology-based university alumni since the 1930s. We describe findings from two linked datasets joining MIT alumni with MIT founder information. The rate of forming new companies by MIT alumni has grown dramatically over seven decades. Women alumni have in more recent decades become entrepreneurs at a faster growth rate than men, but still constitute only 10% of new entrepreneurs. Alumni who are not U.S. citizens also are entering entrepreneurship at a faster pace than their American classmates, but still constitute only 15% of current entrants. The median age of first time entrepreneurs has gradually declined from about age 40 to about age 30. Our results also suggest that rather than examining stable individual traits, future research in this domain may wish to examine business and strategic environment factors. *Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, 2000 Steinberg-Dietrich Hall, Philadelphia PA 19104.

  • China's Internet Industry
    Order Code RL30636 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China’s Internet Industry August 14, 2000 (name redacted) Analyst in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China’s Internet Industry Summary The Chinese Internet industry is one of the fastest growing in the world; the number of users is expected to grow from 9 million to nearly 20 million in 2000 alone. Chinese scientific research institutes, the Chinese government, and Chinese high tech entrepreneurs, many of them backed by American venture capital, have forged the development of the Internet in China. Upon its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), China has promised to open its telecommunications sector and Internet industry to much greater foreign investment and trade. The government of the PRC (People’s Republic of China) generally welcomes the Internet’s usefulness in facilitating business transactions and academic research and in attracting foreign investment. However, many Chinese officials fear the Internet’s liberalizing effects upon China’s economy and politics. They have resisted opening up the telecommunications sector and allowing electronic information and communication to flow unimpeded. State companies monopolize the Internet service provider (ISP) market. The government attempts to restrict political uses of the Internet, though it has been unable to monitor and regulate all of the medium’s activity. Some observers suggest that the Ministry of Information Industry will continue to hinder private sector activity and foreign investment in the Internet industry, despite China’s accession to the WTO. This report will be updated as warranted.
