| PO vs. Entrepreneurial behavior | Main goal of PO: - Enhance the performance of the business - Alignment of goals, principal and agent --> entrepreneurial behavior as main path to achieve this goal --> firm performance gets better! |
| PO and monitoring | Monitoring: Control of principal over agent The higher the PO, the smaller monitoring costs. Agents feel like owners, and they behave accordingly --> entrepreneurial behavior higher |
| PO and high autonomy | --> less entrepreneurial behavior There need to be certain guidelines. |
| Negative outcomes of PO | - Territoriality behaviors - Reluctance to share - Conflicts - Failure to delegate responsability - Destructive behavior |
| Fostering entrepreneurial behavior: Overview | Stock ownership plan and financial incentive systems: Used often despite many disadvantages and effects and ideal design unclear. PO: Promising approach, but not well researched yet. --> Combination of those approaches bears potential! |
| Combination of all three | Step 1: Strenghten PO and improve organizational factors Step 2: Introduce meaningful financial incentive system Step 3: Introduce meaningful stock ownership program |
