Abstract

Is aging an asset when creating a new business ? The senior entrepreneur is indeed an entrepreneur as another, but the question is to know if he manages better with organizational newness. The concept of « liability of newness » is applied to understand the place of organizational experience on two business cases. An analytical framework is proposed that shows how the previous experience on supporting activities allows adaptation and legitimacy. Contingencies factors such as size or competitive environment have to be taken into account. Finally specific proposals are made about seniors and networking, time pressure, previous organizational routines showing that these factors enable them, better than younger entrepreneurs, to overcome the liability of newness
