Abstract
Fairness perceptions can influence the development of new ventures. This effect is explored in this study by assessing the influence of entrepreneur’s fairness perceptions of their relation with their university. A sample of 17 new ventures is studied with regard to the founders’ fairness perceptions of their relation with the university. Interview, archival and performance data are analyzed to identify key conditions, event sequences and consequences related to the entrepreneur’s fairness perceptions. This analysis of 232 events suggests that the perception of unfairness relates to delayed venturing processes as well as lower short term performance, while perceived fairness involves a more rapid pattern of development. These perceptions are found to be associated with the experience of the entrepreneur.
