Abstract

The present research investigated pre-start ventures using an expectancy theory model of organisational formation. The dependent variable was the fate of the venture idea, whether it was abandoned or implemented. The suggested model focuses on three predictors of new venture implementation: motivation to start businesses, venture valuation, and finance. Data was collected from users of an entrepreneurial hot line in Norway. The findings illustrate that financial expectancies, finance, and risk expectancy are related to implementation of new ventures. Moreover, people who are motivated to start businesses in order to create employment opportunities or to achieve self-realisation are found to be less likely to implement their plans.
