| Tiivistelmä: | In order to examine Founder-CEO succession, the author used field research and grounded theory building to study the factors that should affect Founder-CEO succession in Internet start-ups. The author finds that there are two central intertemporal events that may affect Founder- CEO succession. The author develops testable hypotheses about how each of these events affect the rate of succession, and then tests these hypotheses using an event- history analysis of a unique dataset containing the succession histories of 202 Internet firms. The findings point to multiple "paradoxes of success" in which the Founder-CEO's success at achieving critical milestones actually causes the chance of Founder-CEO succession to rise dramatically. |
