Abstract

The current study addresses the formal and informal board leadership roles in new high-tech firms. Overall, we find that board leadership affects international engagements in idiosyncratic ways. Initially, we conjectured that the board leadership role structure would influence time to new markets, but the leadership role structure fails to do so, which indicates that neither a divided board leadership structure nor a dual board leadership structure matters. Instead, we find that the facilitating role of board chair leadership does. Although board chair leadership efficacy has a deliberating effect, we find it to have an interactive effect with a more resourceful board, indicating that efficacious leadership is more important than we typically would expect. Noteworthy, these dynamic interactions not only contribute to advancing new high-tech firms, but also contribute to shaping a resilient high-tech entrepreneurial ecosystem from within.

董事会领导在审议国际进入方面的作用

摘要

当前的研究涉及新兴高科技公司中正式和非正式的董事会领导角色。总体而言，我们发现董事会领导力以特殊的方式影响国际交往。最初，我们推测董事会领导角色结构会影响新市场的时间，但领导角色结构却没有这样做，这表明分立的董事会领导结构和双重董事会领导结构都不重要。相反，我们发现董事会主席的领导作用确实起到了促进作用。尽管董事会主席的领导效能具有审议效应，但我们发现它与资源更丰富的董事会具有互动效应，这表明有效的领导力比我们通常预期的更重要。值得注意的是，这些动态互动不仅有助于推动新兴高科技企业的发展，而且有助于从内部塑造一个有弹性的高科技创业生态系统。
