Abstract:

PurposeThe business angels market dramatically changed the modus operandi and nature of business angels’ activity, evolving from lone investors to angel groups managed professionally. This paper aims to analyze the impact of angel perceived career development on angel satisfaction and, consequently, on their intention to continue investing.Design/methodology/approachA model was tested through covariance-based structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS based on data collected from 336 business angels from seven European countries.FindingsThe results highlight that: the perception of personal development is a decisive factor in pursuing the career of business angel; personal development has a higher explanatory power in angel career development than fostering innovation; and the perception of career development has positive impacts on angels’ job satisfaction and reinvestment intention. The paper ends with implications and guidelines for angels, gatekeepers and entrepreneurs, which may increase satisfaction with the angel experience and contribute to enriching business angel work.Research limitations/implicationsCross-sectional self-reported data were used to analyze the results of this study.Originality/valueTo paper extends the body of knowledge of business angels’ perceived career development, with implications for business angels, which may increase satisfaction with angel experience and, therefore, contribute to enhancing business angels’ activity. Thus, this study provides a consistent reference for forthcoming studies regarding the career of business angels and their relationship with entrepreneurs.

Abstract:

Angels are a common motif in the World, and in the West. Not just in religion (and, by extension, philosophy), but also in art and its myriad expressions. There are many ways to imagine (that is, to make an image of) angels, and their etymology is just as varied. For instance, in the Greek translation of the Hebrew mal’akh, it means “shadow of God,” which sounds a bit ominous. Angels can often be understood as representative of various religions’ ethical principles, a moral symbol par excellence; and yet still others may fall from grace for their transgressions. While they are not always all called “angels,” celestial beings who act as contact points between God(s) and humans appear frequently in many different theologies and mythologies around the world. In the Qur'an, for example, Allah sends angels, who are described as having many pairs of wings, as messengers. The Bible, of course, references various angels as well. There is no one way an angel can be depicted. Fierce, kind, with many wings, or none at all. This particular piece focuses more on the angel’s expression. The expression is aloof. The piece is sketchy, loose, like our translations or ideas of angels.

Abstract:

In the article the images of the angels in the Lermontov’s works are considered. The author concentrates on 4 types of images: the Angels - God’s Grace incarnations, the Angels of Death, the Fallen Angels, the Angels of Earth. The main attention in the article is paid to the analysis of the images of Angels in the verse "Angel" (1831), poems "Asrail" and "Angel of Death" (1831), "Demon" (1829-1839), unfinished novel "Vadim" (1832-1834) and unfinished povest’ "Shtoss" (1841). The author relies on the works on the scholars in the Lermontov’s studies field, applies germenevtic and historical and literary methods which allow to conduct a meticulous research.

Abstract:

My general theme is the extent to which philosophers and others must be taken literally when they have written about angels, or anything else which is no longer generally believed in. However, since the title may perhaps have aroused expectations of angels dancing on points of needles, I shall take as my point of departure the question of whether or not the scholastics ever discussed how many angels could dance on the point of a needle. The answer would in fact seem to be in the negative, the closest parallel being found in the anonymous fourteenth-century mystical treatise Swester Katrei, which refers to a thousand souls in heaven sitting on the point of a needle.

Abstract:

‭This study traces the route by which the city of Los Angeles came to be called by that name. Late in life St. Francis retired to a tiny hut on “a little piece of property,” una porziuncola near Assisi. Because angels were frequently heard singing there, the area around his hut was known as “La Valle di Nostra Donna degli Angeli.” Here, Francis experienced two appearances of Mary and her Son, during which he obtained the revolutionary plenary indulgence known as Il Perdono d’Assisi. The Porziuncola became a pilgrims’ shrine, and Francis’s hut was transformed into a huge basilica dedicated to Santa Maria degli Angeli. Reception of the indulgence slowly spread throughout Europe, and most particularly in Spain. Columbus, who was a Franciscan Tertiary, after a stay in the monastery of Our Lady of the Angels at La Rábida, set sail on his momentous journey on the feast of the Perdono (2 August). The indulgence was carried to the New World by the Franciscans where the devotion developed a wide-spread cult. Three hundred years later, the Spanish king’s army, accompanied by Franciscan friars, journeyed up the western coast and came upon a clear stream, which they called la Porciúncula. In 1781, the New World City of the Angels was founded in the cult’s honor.‬

Abstract:

Business angels are vital sources of funding for new ventures. Yet, acquiring business angel support is difficult. Typically organized in professional networks, business angels collectively evaluate and deliberate about new ventures to determine their worthiness of support. One factor deemed to be critical during this evaluation is market risk. Yet, limited research in Macromarketing examines market risk. To our knowledge, no previous study examines market risk in capital markets, nor do they study angel financing. Neglecting to study angel financing is particularly problematic for macromarketing because this type of finance is much more prominent than venture capital in supporting new ventures. To fill this gap, we begin by exploring the literature by Lusch (and coauthors) linking marketing and capital markets as well as studies of market risk. We then craft fictitious angel investment proposals to measure market risk assessments by business angels and entrepreneurs. We ask which factors impact market risk during the early-phases of the investment screening process (when market risk is weighted more heavily) and identify whether these factors are evaluated differently by entrepreneurs versus business angels. Our findings reveal that commercialization capability, technological compatibility, and intellectual property rights enforceability influence perceived market risk and that entrepreneurs and business angels view these factors significantly differently. We then offer directions for further research related to this study and other work of Lusch. Finally, we suggest practical implications for use by business angels and entrepreneurs.

Abstract:

In order to analyze the stability of surrounding rocks with two groups parallel joints under different angles, a new method, DDARF (discontinuous deformation analysis for rock failure) program was adopted to investigate three cases of uniaxial compression tests of two groups parallel joints sample with the angels 30, 45 and 60. The results show the sample with 30 is least prone to be destroyed and the sample with 60 are most likely to be destroyed. Then DDARF program was also applied to investigate the underground cavern excavation process of two groups parallel joints surrounding rocks with the angels 30, 45 and 60. The results show that the stability of underground cavern with joint angel of 60 is worst in the aspect of stability.

Abstract:

Some 21st-century mourners describe the deceased as becoming an angel. Using published research, along with opportunist and anecdotal sources, the following questions are explored: who becomes an angel? Who addresses them as angels? What do once-human angels do? What are they? Where and when are they encountered? And in what sense are they believed in? Once-human angels are found in cemeteries, in memorial tattoos, at the deathbed, but mainly online—both internet and angel are mediums or messengers linking this world and the next. Unlike passive souls cut off in heaven from the living, angels have agency, (a) continuing their earthly activities in heaven and (b) looking after those on earth who still need their care and guidance. The once-human angel thus expresses a continuing bond between the living and the dead, particularly important for younger mourners who may live many decades before joining the deceased in heaven. This notion is taught by neither churches nor popular culture; it is not a creedal belief, but an idea, a meme, that some mourners use—and creatively develop—in particular contexts and may be understood as vernacular religion.

Abstract:

A major focus of research on business angels has examined their decision-making processes and investment criteria. As business angels reject most opportunities they receive, this article explores the reasons informing such decisions. In view of angel heterogeneity, investment opportunities might be expected to be rejected for differing reasons. Two sources of data are used to examine this issue. Face-to-face interviews with 30 business angels in Scotland and Northern Ireland provided information on typical ‘deal killers’. This was complemented by an Internet survey that attracted responses from 238 business angels from across the UK. The findings confirm that the main reason for rejection relates to the entrepreneur/management team. However, angel characteristics do not explain the number of reasons given for opportunity rejection nor do they predict the reasons for rejecting investment opportunities. This could be related to the increasing trend for business angels to join organised groups which, in turn, leads to the development of a shared repertoire of investment approaches. We therefore suggest the concept of ‘communities-of-practice’ as an explanation for this finding.

Abstract:

Abstract This essay examines Angela Carter’s private journals and the British Library’s 2000 pages of letters from her time in Japan to explore Carter’s evolving thinking about the intersections between race, gender, power, and sexuality, from casual expressions of racist stereotypes in the early works through a more radical interrogation of those stereotypes, to a later, more intersectional approach to feminism and race. It explores her uncollected writings for men’s magazines, such as Men Only and Club International, where she describes Japanese attitudes towards sexuality and the practice of irezumi, Japanese tattooing, which she analyzes as an index of a Japanese culture of “repression, narcissism, masochism and superstition” (“Irezumi” 96).

Abstract:

Business angels dominate early-stage investment in firms, but research on their effects on firms is scarce and limited by sample selection. To address sample selection, we propose using population data and we develop an algorithm for identifying business angel investments in such data. We illustrate this novel approach by applying it to detailed and longitudinal total population data for individuals and firms in Sweden. In our application, we focus on a subset of business angels—active business angels who are themselves successful entrepreneurs with a profitable exit. We then study active business angels’ effects on firm performance, using population data. Employing a quasi-experimental estimator, we find that the business angels invest in firms that already perform above par. There is also a positive effect on subsequent growth compared with control firms. However, contrary to previous research on business angels, we cannot find any impact on firm survival. Overall, the paper underlines the need to address sample selection when studying business angels and suggests using population data for identification.
