The Effects of Business Failure Experience on Successive Entrepreneurial Engagements: An Evolutionary Phase Model (2018, background): “Entrepreneurial failure (Mellahi & Wilkinson, 2004; Sarasvathy, Menon, & Kuechle, 2013) Entrepreneurial failure induces contagion and positive experiential effects.”
Narrative attributions of entrepreneurial failure (2013, background): “Our narrative approach provides a new perspective that augments existing, largely objectivist studies on organizational failure (see Mellahi and Wilkinson, 2004), and the failure of entrepreneurial ventures (Bruno et al., 1992; Dimov and De Clercq, 2006; Shepherd, 2003; Singh et al., 2007;…”
