Sammanfattning

Boards are a vital resource for early-stage ventures, offering advice, funding connections, and strategic guidance — especially when directors bring diverse expertise. Yet, as ventures grow and succeed, that diversity can erode. Our study of over 28,000 Swedish ownermanaged firms shows that directors whose expertise differs from that of the founder(s) are more likely to leave—not during hardship, but when the business is performing well. Interviews with several founders and directors further suggest that as ventures mature, they increasingly rely on internal capabilities and shift toward boards that reflect the founder’s evolving preferences. These dynamics lead to more homogenous boards over time, potentially narrowing the range of perspectives available in the board. For founders and policymakers, the findings highlight a key challenge: keeping diverse directors around not just at the start, but as the company scales.

Sammanfattning

Vi undersöker hur bostadsområdes- respektive skolegenskaper samvarierar med skolvåld i alla svenska gymnasieskolor under en 15-årsperiod.

Vi visar att ungdomars narkotikabrottslighet (bostadsområdesnivå) och läraromsättning (skolnivå) är centrala drivkrafter för skolvåld över geografiska områden.

Andra prediktorer är kontextspecifika: skolfaktorer såsom meritvärde (genomsnittsbetyg) och skolavhopp är huvudsakligen associerade med skolvåld i storstadsområden, medan socioekonomiska indikatorer i bostadsområden – såsom bostadsförhållanden, socialtjänststöd och arbetslöshet – är mer framträdande i icke-storstadsområden.

Överlag dominerar faktorer på bostadsområdesnivå som förklaring till variationer i skolvåld (ca 40%), jämfört med skolnivå (ca 10%).

Dessa resultat stödjer teorier om strukturell utsatthet som förklaring till skolvåld men ifrågasätter samtidigt dess stadscentrerade fokus, vilket tyder på att social isolering och institutionell fragmentering kan fungera på olika sätt i olika geografiska kontexter.

Vi diskuterar implikationer för forskning och beslutsfattare.

Sammanfattning

This special issue introduces the concept of the “entrepreneurship industry” (EI), a rapidly expanding global sector comprising actors, services, and infrastructures that promote and commodify entrepreneurial activity. Moving beyond traditional demand-side views of entrepreneurship, the issue explores how EI shapes entrepreneurial behavior through cultural norms, institutional structures, and policy interventions. The six featured articles examine diverse facets of EI, including its cultural biases, framing dynamics, venture production regimes, intermediary roles, and sector-specific support mechanisms. Collectively, these contributions reveal how EI influences who becomes an entrepreneur, what ventures are legitimized, and how success is defined. The issue also highlights the paradoxes and unintended consequences of EI, such as exclusionary practices and innovation theater. By conceptualizing entrepreneurship as an industry, the issue opens new avenues for research into the socio-political construction of entrepreneurial ecosystems and calls for more inclusive, context-sensitive approaches in policy, education, and practice.
