Chief executive officers (CEOs) are principal decision makers of a firm's strategic posture. In this study, we theorize and empirically examine how relative exploration orientation of large publicly listed firms varies based on the career variety of their CEOs - that is, how diverse the professional experiences of executives were prior to them becoming CEOs. We further argue that the heterogeneity and structure of the top management team moderates the impact of CEO career variety on firms' relative exploration orientation. Based on multisource secondary data for 318 S\&P 500 firms from 2005 to 2015, we find that CEO career variety is positively associated with relative exploration orientation. Interestingly, CEOs with high career varieties appear to be less effective in pursuing exploration, when they work with highly heterogeneous and structurally interdependent top management teams.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ChwallekMaassen2022, author = {Chwallek, Constanze and Maaßen, Franziska}, title = {Cure or blessing?

While success factors for non-IT start-ups have already been extensively researched, this study sheds light on digital entrepreneurs, whose business model relies primarily on services based on digital technologies. Applying the Grounded Theory method, we identify relevant environmental success factors for digital entrepreneurs. The study's research contribution is threefold. First, we provide 16 relevant and less relevant environmental success factors, which enables a comparison with prior identified factors. We found out that several prior environmental success factors, such as accessibility to transportation or the availability of land and facilities are less relevant for a digital entrepreneur. Second, we derive and discuss hypotheses for the influence of these factors on digital start-up success. Third, we present a theoretical model that lays the foundation for explaining the environmental influence on digital entrepreneurship success.}, language = {de} } @incollection{ChwallekGoelzerReichert2018, author = {Chwallek, Constanze and G{\"o}lzer, Kaan and Reichert, Walter}, title = {Faymonville - Wachstum als Komplexit{\"a}tstreiber}, series = {Fallstudienkompendium Hidden Champions - Innovationen f{\"u}r den Weltmarkt}, booktitle = {Fallstudienkompendium Hidden Champions - Innovationen f{\"u}r den Weltmarkt}, publisher = {Springer Gabler}, isbn = {978-3-658-17829-1}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-17829-1_18}, pages = {299 -- 312}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Die Fallstudie FAYMONVILLE besch{\"a}ftigt sich damit, wie es dem Familienunternehmen Faymonville aus Ostbelgien gelungen ist, sich zu einem der f{\"u}hrenden Hersteller in seiner Branche zu entwickeln.

Nigeria and Norway have been chosen as reference countries due to their abundance of natural resources by similar economic performance, while the ranking in the Human Development Index differs dramatically. As the Human Development Index provides insight into a country's cultural and socio-economic characteristics and development in addition to economic indicators, it allows a comparison of the two countries. The hypothesis presented and discussed in this paper was researched before. A qualitative research approach was used in the author's master's thesis "The Human Development Index (HDI) as a Reflection of Resource Abundance (using Nigeria and Norway as a case study)" in 2018. The management of scarce resources is an important aspect in the development of modern countries and those on the threshold of becoming industrialised nations. The effects of a mistaken resource management are not only of a purely economic nature but also of a social and socio-economic nature. In order to present a partial aspect of these dependencies and influences this paper uses a quantitative analysis to examine the interdependence and impact of resource rents on socio-economic development from 2002 to 2017. Nigeria and Norway have been chosen as reference countries due to their abundance of natural resources by similar economic performance, while the ranking in the Human Development Index differs significantly. As the Human Development Index provides insight into a country's cultural and socio-economic characteristics and development in addition to economic indicators, it allows a comparison of the two countries. This paper found out in a holistic perspective that (not or poorly managed) resource wealth in itself has a negative impact on socio-economic development and significantly reduces the productivity of the citizens of a state. This is expressed in particular for the years 2002 till 2017 in a negative correlation of GDP per capita and HDI value with the share respectively the size of resources in the GDP of a country.}, language = {en} } @article{BoehnertBlaschkeBiewendt2023, author = {B{\"o}hnert, Arno and Blaschke, Florian and Biewendt, Marcel}, title = {Impact of sustainability on the strategic direction of luxury companies}, series = {European Journal of Marketing and Economics}, volume = {6}, journal = {European Journal of Marketing and Economics}, number = {1}, publisher = {Revistia}, address = {London}, issn = {2601-8659}, pages = {70 -- 85}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Today's society is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by the megatrend of sustainability.

In a subsequent evaluation, the trends in the luxury industry were summarized for the areas of ecological, social, and economic sustainability. It was found that the area of environmental sustainability is significantly more focused than the other sub-areas.
