Publicly traded stocks of companies led by entrepreneurs consistently outperform
Entrepreneurial Leaders
Studied over an extended period of time, publicly traded stocks of
companies led by entrepreneurs consistently outperform
non-entrepreneurs by a wide margin, according to research by Babson
Associate Professor Joel M. Shulman, associate professor of entrepreneurship.
These entrepreneurial leadership results ring true even after comparing the entrepreneurial group
against non-entrepreneur peers adjusted for industry sector, market
size, geographic territory, and time period of study, according to
Shulman. Keep Costs Low
Vigorously Grow the Business
Shulman
suggests that because entrepreneurs try to keep costs low while
vigorously growing the business, entrepreneurial companies are well
positioned to perform better than ever in a sluggish, recovering
economy.
Shulman's recent update on stocks for calendar 2009 show: - Stocks of entrepreneur-led companies significantly outperform non
entrepreneurs (YTD through 12/1/09, 650+ global entrepreneurs are up
93%);
- Stocks of "bureaucrat" companies underperform
non-bureaucrats and entrepreneurs by a wide margin (these are stocks
that individuals would sell or sell short);
- Stocks of
entrepreneur-led companies continue to outperform non-entrepreneurs
even after adjusting by market cap size, sector, geography, or time
period.
