A timely post from #ASQ editors about the impat of #GenAI on academic publishing. In short, if we seek the generatively easier road it will hurt the quality of organizational scholarship.

▶️We also bring a more dynamic perspective to research on entrepreneurial experimentation and pivoting, by studying how strategic changes may occur when founders give a *“second shot”* to their entrepreneurial careers and adjust their hiring strategies while starting another firm.

🔦 With this study, we hope to shift the traditional focus from *whether* entrepreneurial experience impacts subsequent new venture performance to exploring *how* it may influence new firm outcomes by shaping essential strategies such as hiring.

📜 While a long list of other explanations came to mind during this study, we did not find empirical support for any of them – no need to read the full paper, we have summarized it all in one single table. 😉

📈 This change in hiring tactics seems to be driven by experiential learning (or learning from failure): pipeline hiring is + common among those who performed the poorest in the 1st business and it is associated with better performance (survival and employee retention) in the 2nd venture.

💡Serial entrepreneurs adopt different hiring tactics than first-time founders – they make use of “pipeline hiring” (i.e., hiring repeatedly from the same source organizations) more often, especially after having failed with a prior venture.

❓ Do hiring strategies change in successive entrepreneurial stints?
📰 We study this question in a new paper recently published in Strategic Management Journal (joint work with Dario Pozzoli) and the answer is…
