Entrepreneurial Effectuation: A Review and Suggestions for Future Research (2012, methodology): “To do so, we adapt classification systems used by previous review articles to analyze the existing research (Chandler & Lyon, 2001; McGrath, 1982; Scandura & Williams, 2000).”
Dynamic Creation: Extending the Radical Austrian Approach to Entrepreneurship (2010, background): “These gaps arise, in part, from inattention to markets and to longitudinal studies in entrepreneurship generally (Chandler and Lyon 2001; Davidsson and Wiklund 2001).”
Beyond environmental scarcity: Human and social capital as driving forces of bootstrapping activities (2014, unknown): “…by the high levels of affective trust and resulting goodwill that provides entrepreneurs with predominantly intangible resources, such as emotional support and a forum to freely reflect on venture development (Brush et al., 2001; Chua et al., 2008; Hanlon and Saunders, 2007; McAllister, 1995).”
Turning Lead into Gold: How Do Entrepreneurs Mobilize Resources to Exploit Opportunities? (2018, unknown): “…point of 2000 coincides with Shane and Venkataraman ’ s (2000) formative statement on the field of entrepreneurship and marks the beginning of a substantial increase in methodological sophistication among empirical studies of entrepreneurship (Chandler & Lyon, 2001; Davidsson & Gordon, 2012).”
Development and Cross–Cultural Application of a Specific Instrument to Measure Entrepreneurial Intentions (2009, methodology): “Chandler and Lyon (2001, p. 103) consider reliability (“consistency and stability of a score from a measurement scale”) and validity (“evidence that the measurement is actually measuring the intended construct”) as the essential psychometrics to be reported. The first step was using Cronbach’s alpha”
Construct Validation Using Computer-Aided Text Analysis (CATA) (2010, unknown): “Despite the espoused benefits of content analysis, its use in entrepreneurship studies has been relatively sparse (Chandler & Lyon, 2001).”
Event- and outcome-driven explanations of entrepreneurship (2004, background): “Aldrich’s calls for more eventdriven process research on entrepreneurship have been echoed by several other researchers including Low and MacMillan (1988), Davidsson and Wiklund (2001), Van de Ven (1992a), and Shane and Venkataraman (2000).”
Choosing Qualitative Methods for Entrepreneurial Cognition Research: A Canonical Development Approach (2004, background): “In their review of the decade-plus of entrepreneurship research since Low and MacMillan’s (1988) purview of the discipline, Chandler and Lyon (2001) reviewed four hundred and sixteen double-blind, refereed journal articles in nine top-tier journals.”
Impact of founder experience on exit intentions (2012, unknown): “However, our approach of using one informant per organization has been supported when survey instruments were well designed and executed (Starbuck and Mezias 1996) and when the key respondent is the owner/manager of the business (Chandler and Lyon 2001).”
The Influence of CEO Gender on Market Orientation and Performance in Service Small and Medium‐Sized Service Businesses (2010, unknown): “In their study of methodologies in the mainstream entrepreneurship literature, Chandler and Lyon (2001) found that 75 percent of the empirical papers used primary data, and that 66 percent of the studies used paper surveys, and that 53 percent of the surveys used their own scales or scales modified…”
Entrepreneurship as a Process: Toward Harmonizing Multiple Perspectives (2012, background): “Chandler and Lyon (2001) find that 80% of studies published in the entrepreneurship literature reflect empirical outcomes-based research while only 20% are event driven, with even a smaller group of studies using longitudinal methods.”
