| Tiivistelmä: | The issue of internal determination of organizational outcomes is addressed. The main argument is that human capital endowment of entrepreneurs (founders) has an effect on the profitability of newly established firms, and on their chances of organizational survival. The human capital theory is used to derive hypotheses about individual determinants of organizational mortality. These hypotheses are tested with event-history data of firm registrations and de-registrations in a West German region. The hypotheses are supported by the data, but the effects may in spite of that be due to processes linking individual characteristics with organizational performance other than those suggested by the human capital approach. |
