We are pleased that the research paper "The Influence Of Entrepreneurial Teams' Ownership Distribution On Recombinatory Novelty" has been selected for publication in “Frontiers of Entrepreneurship Research Proceedings” (FER) 2020. The author team consists of Elisabeth Müller (GGS Heilbronn) and Laura Körner, Patrick Figge and Carolin Häussler (all University of Passau). FER is a compilation of the top 40 papers presented each year at the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference (BCERC).

The research project investigates how the structure of founding teams influences the novelty of research and development projects (R&D projects) of their start-ups. The study investigates in addition to the ownership distribution of the founding team, the direct participation of founders in R&D projects based on a data set comprising more than 2000 German start-ups.
