Changes in our economy and our society are redefining how we create economic opportunity and build successful enterprises. These changes are compelling critical examinations of how we pursue economic development in Kentucky. Given the importance of young high-growth firms for wage and job growth, it is vital for states, regions, communities, and universities to effectively leverage their assets toward the development of entrepreneurs, creation of startups, and sustaining high-growth enterprises.

Case Study: The Al-Awadhi Brothers: The Story Of Two Emirati Entrepreneurs, Maryam Khazaeli, Mary Barrett

Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)

For centuries, families of transnational Sunni Arabs, or Persians both Sunni and Shiite, have migrated from southern Iran to the Arab coast of the Persian Gulf. In fact, Iranian groups living on the coast of the Persian Gulf have generally looked more to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) than to Iranian groups inland (Potter, 2009). They have maintained a "dual existence", owning houses in two or more countries and speaking multiple languages (Nadjmabadi, 2010). This has been a source of economic benefit to both Iran and the UAE, at least until the recent political unrest in the region. Many Iranians …

Extending Definitions On International Entrepreneurs: The Case Of Cross-Cultural Capital, Valerie J. Lindsay, Kathy Ning Shen

University of Wollongong in Dubai - Papers

This study is motivated by two important research questions in the overlapping fields of entrepreneurship and international entrepreneurship. The first question relates to our lack of knowledge of how entrepreneurial firms evolve to become international, and then sustain international growth (Zettinig & Benson-Rea, 2008; Jones et al 2011). The second, related, point concerns the question of how cultural and cross-cultural studies contribute to the various domains identified within the international entrepreneurship field (Coviello et al, 2011; Jones et al, 2011). We approach these questions by focusing on the role of cross-cultural capital in developing entrepreneurial capital as redefining the venture …

Delaware Law As Lingua Franca: Theory And Evidence, Brian Broughman, Jesse Fried, Darian Ibrahim

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Why would a firm incorporate in Delaware rather than in its home state? Prior explanations have focused on the inherent features of Delaware corporate law, as well as the positive network externalities created by so many other firms domiciling in Delaware. We offer an additional explanation: a firm may choose Delaware simply because its law is nationally known and thus can serve as a “lingua franca” for in-state and out-of-state investors. Analyzing the incorporation decisions of 1,850 VC-backed startups, we find evidence consistent with this lingua-franca explanation. Indeed, the lingua-franca effect appears to be more important than other factors that …
