• SMEs and international entrepreneurship: An institutional network perspective (2015, background): “Scholars agree that the area of how public institutional support networks influence the business outcomes of SMEs is underexplored (Bateman, 2000; Ceglie & Dini, 1999; Ramsden & Bennett, 2005; Séror, 1998).”
• Strategic entrepreneurship and small firm growth in Ghana (2014, methodology): “This endorses the important role that accountants and customers play in promoting the growth of small firms (Bennett and Robson, 2003; Berry et al., 2006; Jay and Schaper, 2003; Ramsden and Bennett, 2005).”
• The role of mentoring in the learning development of the novice entrepreneur (2012, background): “In fact, even results stemming from outside advice provided by support organizations are not immediately apparent and discernable, considering the overall effect of many other changes and decisions made by the SME over time, as suggested by Ramsden and Bennett (2005: p. 229) .”
