Network composition, collaborative ties, and upgrading in emerging-market firms: Lessons from the Argentine autoparts sector (2010, methodology): “…the effects of interaction terms cannot be tested by the significance of the interaction parameter estimates (Ai & Norton, 2003).9 Therefore, in order to further test Hypotheses 1a–d and 2a–d, we follow the implementation of Ai and Norton’s (2003) suggestion proposed by Zelner (2009) for STATA.”
To Merge, Sell, or Liquidate? Socioemotional Wealth, Family Control, and the Choice of Business Exit (2019, unknown): “…associated with family and nonfamily firms (i.e., the vertical distance between the family and nonfamily firm values in the different figures) at different levels of the inverse Altman Z-score along with the 95% confidence interval for this difference (King et al., 2000; Zelner, 2009).”
Which Problems to Solve? Online Knowledge Sharing and Attention Allocation in Organizations (2014, methodology): “12 We also derived the confidence intervals for the differences in predicted probabilities using a simulationbased procedure (King, Tomz & Wittenberg, 2000; Zelner, 2009).”
Asset specificity and foreign market entry mode choice of small and medium-sized enterprises: The moderating influence of knowledge safeguards and institutional safeguards (2012, methodology): “The direction of the interaction term and the statistical significance may vary for different values of the independent variable (Hoetker, 2007; Norton, Wang, & Ai, 2004; Zelner, 2009).”
Product Fit Uncertainty in Online Markets: Nature, Effects, and Antecedents (2014, unknown): “Using a simulation-based approach proposed by Zelner (2009) and King et al. (2000), we found that the attenuating effects of collaborative shopping systems (online product forum use) and visualization systems (pictures) become larger when the product has more experience attributes (Figure 4).”
One of Us or One of My Friends: How Social Identity and Tie Strength Shape the Creative Generativity of Boundary-Spanning Ties (2014, result): “It is also worth noting that an additional analysis, a simulation-based approach that uses confidence intervals to understand regions of significance for interaction effects, also yielded essentially the same results (Brambor et al., 2006; Zelner, 2009).”
Price Promotion for Emotional Impact (2014, methodology): “4We also checked the interpretation of the logit results using a simulation-based approach, as suggested by King, Tomz, and Wittenberg (2000) and Zelner (2009).”
Omitted Variable Bias: Examining Management Research With the Impact Threshold of a Confounding Variable (ITCV) (2021, methodology): “We specify our simulations using a procedure informed by protocols implemented in the growing stream of management research that uses simulations to investigate methodological questions (Certo, Busenbark, Kalm, & LePine, 2020; Certo et al., 2016; Kalnins, 2018; Semadeni et al., 2014; Zelner, 2009).”
International experience and FDI location choices of Chinese firms: The moderating effects of home country government support and host country institutions (2014, methodology): “Further, our more fine-grained analysis based on empirical methodology suggested by King, Tomz, and Wittenberg (2000) and Zelner (2009) indicates that institutional factors produce their moderating effect not along the whole range of the firm’s prior entry experiences.”
How Anticipated Employee Mobility Affects Acquisition Likelihood: Evidence from a Natural Experiment (2015, methodology): “Greene (2010) recommends using graphical representations to interpret higher-order interaction effects in nonlinear models; we therefore followed Zelner (2009) and used a combination of simulation and graphing techniques to assess the boundary conditions of the predicted difference-in-differences…”
Overstating and Understating Interaction Results in International Business Research (2017, unknown): “While we do not explicitly address issues related to nonlinearity (e.g. Zelner, 2009), nested or multi-level data (e.g. Hox, 2002; Kreft & de Leeuw,1998; Luke, 2004; Peterson, Arregle, & Martin, 2012), threeway interactions (e.g. Andersson, Cuervo-Zazurra, & Nielson, 2014; Dawson, 2014), or…”
