New Firm Formation: A Dynamic Capability Perspective

Abstract

This paper applies the dynamic capability framework to the new firm formation process. Specifically, this paper argues that new firm formation is a specific process that has been the subject of substantial empirical research. This paper also provides empirical evidence that shows that a common set of gestation activities exists for successful nascent entrepreneurs, that market dynamism affects the complexity and characteristics of the new firm formation process, and that learning negatively impacts new firm formation success for nascent entrepreneurs operating in highly dynamic markets. By positioning the new firm formation process as a dynamic capability, the rationale behind the execution of specific gestation activities to acquire and/or to reconfigure those resources most critical to emerging organizations can be understood better.
