failure

Why do some business ven-
tures succeed while others
fail?

It’s one of the questions
that will be addressed by the
newly created University of
British Columbia Entrepre-
neurship and Venture Capital
Research Centre.

“The unprecedented
growth in the formation of
new ventures over the past
decade has been the source of
the majority of newly created
jobs in this province,” said
Commerce and Business Ad-
ministration Professor
Raphael Amit, the centre’s di-
rector.

“Unfortunately, the failure
rate of new businesses is

Venture capital firms base
their investment and deal-
pricing decisions largely on
rules of thumb with little or no
theoretical justification, said
Amit.

“Social science research
provides us with few insightS
into the essence of entrepre-
neurship, the environments
that foster the most successful
entrepreneurial activities,
‘and what role government
should play,” he said.

The high failure rate of new
businesses is compounded by
the hesitation of venture cap-
ital firms to make seed-stage
investments in new technolo-
gy and service-oriented enter-
prises, he said.

“The lack of start-up fi-
nancing has reached a critical
stage in British Columbia,”
said Amit. “Job opportunities
will be lost if this province
fails to develop a wide range
