| Abstract: | A theoretical framework is developed to explain why small and large firms face different levels of resource access (herein as: r-a.) needs and r-a. capabilities, which mediate the relationship btw. firm size and hybrid governance. Using a sample of 317 venture capital (VC) firms from across six European countries, this study's framework is empirically assessed in the context of VC syndication. A path model is estimated using structural equation modeling. There are found mediating effects of different types of r-a. needs and r-a. capabilities btw. VC firm size and syndication frequency. |
