Resource acceleration, or the rate at which entrepreneurs grow their resource base in a venture's early stages, is explored. A conceptual model linking a number of resource-related variables to resource acceleration is tested with a cross-section of entrepreneurial ventures. The findings suggest acceleration of the resource pool during the first five years of operation moderates the effect of resource-related experience and awareness on company performance. As acceleration increases, the effect of resource-related experience on performance also increases. Resource acceleration has a positive effect on company performance by increasing an entrepreneur's awareness of resource options. Resource levels matter, but relationships are more complex than allowed for in the extant literature.

Toyota recalled another 2.2 million vehicles last week for floor mat-acceleration pad problems. Since last spring, the company has recalled nearly 8 million vehicles and paid $48.8 million in civil fines over the timeliness of the recalls. And Toyota still faces a slew of lawsuits in federal multidistrict litigation over sudden unintended acceleration.

Dear Tom and Ray: I am writing to you to settle a disagreement that my dad and mom had when I was a kid (in the 1970s) and my wife and I have currently. Does an engine ever need to be floored (hard acceleration) to "blow out the carbon"? Was that merely an excuse for my dad to show off his 1967 Hemi Dart at stoplights? Or was there actual benefit for the hard acceleration once in a while? I use that same excuse with my wife at stoplights (in a much slower vehicle). Neither my mom nor my wife believes it has any benefit, and they think it would be just fine for the rpm to stay at or below 3,000 for the lifetime of the engine. What do you think? -- David
