PATHWAYS TO EXIT: An empirical study exploring how and why young Austrian firms exit from business
Description:

Research on the entrepreneurial exit is still limited, particularly for the early development and growth phase. Reasons may include the difficulty of locating failed entrepreneurs or getting information from them. The literature review and empirical study which we will conduct in this resarch project will fill this gap.
In general, the aim of this research project is to contribute to the literature on the entrepreneurial exit. Specifically, we want to analyse the exit of young Austrian firms to address the following research questions:
a. Which entrepreneurs exit their firm in the early stages?
b. How do young entrepreneurs exit?
c. Why and when are different modes of exit used?
d. What are the future entrepreneurial career plans of exiting entrepreneurs?
e. Why stick some of the exiting entrepreneurs on future entrepreneurial activity while others definitely obviate a future entrepreneurial career?

Keywords: Entrepreneurial exit, entrepreneurial prosess, failure
