| Tiivistelmä: | Because of methodological and theoretical obstacles, research on organizational foundings has largely focused on societal and population-level explanations. This paper takes the view that understanding firm foundings also requires linking to individual-level processes. The authors suggest that careers are an important mechanism linking individual-level processes to firm foundings. The firm- founding experience of potential founders impacts organizational foundings. The authors test the explanation on the set of inventions patented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology over the period 1980-1996 by examining the effect of inventors' career experiences on the likelihood that an invention will be commercialized through the founding of a new organization. |
