Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1992, vol. 16, issue 4, 31-40

Abstract: Drawing hypotheses from theories of organizational life cycles, this survey compared the management practices of 37 founding and 133 nonfounding chief executives of human service organizations. The differences observed are interpreted as suggesting that founders may be more likely than nonfounders to manage in ways that afford them greater ability to direct and oversee organizational matters.
