چکیده

The aim of the present study is to contribute to the empirical literature on the consequences of Business Failure (BF), resorting to qualitative methods in order to better understand the aftermath of BF. Semi-structured interviews were used in order to collect data, which were later transcribed and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Evidence gathered based on the experience of six entrepreneurs (three from the north of Europe and three from the south) showed that previous failure impacted individuals strongly. Such an impact appears to be shaped by the individual’s experience and age, and their perception of blame for the failure. However, for these particular individuals, it does not seem to be affected by the size of the project or the amount of financial loss. An array of moderator costs was identified, ranging from antecedents to institutions that were present in the individual’s lives. The outcomes are directly relatable to the failed experience by the individual. It was also found that the failure had a significant effect on the individual’s career path.
