Abstract
Entrepreneurship is considered a crucial building block for bringing new technologies into society. Researchers have been trying to investigate what makes new technology-based ventures successful. Widely acknowledged is that the performance of new ventures depends on the performance of the new venture team. However, what makes a new venture team superior to competing new venture teams is a debated topic. Preceding research has argued and substantiated that shared cognition, the emergent property resulting from collaboration and deliberation between team members, positively affects new venture performance. Nonetheless, under what circumstances shared cognition affects new venture performance remains to be researched. This thesis aims to increase the understanding of this relationship by studying the effects of two multi-dimensional team attributes on this relationship. The first attribute is entrepreneurial orientation, as entrepreneurial orientation dictates firm behavior following the strategic choices of the new venture team. Entrepreneurial passion is the second attribute hypothesized to influence the relationship between shared cognition and new venture performance. To test the hypotheses, data has been collected during a technology-driven competition involving 100 new venture teams.
