Are entrepreneurs essentially the same everywhere? Are the
processes of entrepreneurship similar? Or are they shaped by their
environments? If so, how?
We know a lot about national differences in management practices,
corporate governance, and even innovation systems, but we know
surprisingly little about national differences in entrepreneurship.
Comparative Entrepreneurship compares processes of entrepreneurship
in the UK and Japan, countries associated with liberal market
economies and coordinated market economies respectively.
Focusing on high tech manufacturing it identifies basic
similarities and key differences. Similarities are found in
approaches to opportunity and business creation, which are
strikingly different from recent policy emphases in the UK and
Japan, inspired by Silicon Valley (hence the entrepreneurs live in
Wthe shadow of Silicon Valley"). Differences--in the backgrounds of
entrepreneurs, founding teams, attitudes to growth and risk,
innovation, competitive advantages, HRM emphases, and inter-firm
collaborations--are summed up by the concepts of "project
entrepreneurship" and "lifework entrepreneurship." These are
closely related to the respective environments, especially the
nature of markets in both countries. They also embody different
time orientations, with implications for financing and governance.
This study brings insights from entrepreneurship to comparative
institutions and varieties of capitalism, and vice versa, and draws
on two surveys and 25 case interviews in both the UK and Japan. It
concludes with a discussion of dilemmas for entrepreneurship policy
in the UK, Japan, and other countries.
