Short- and Long-Term Performance Feedback and Absorptive Capacity (2015, background): “In addition, investigation of moderators of the performance feedback relations has been noted as a high priority task in research, with environmental dynamism especially promising because it may affect learning processes (Shinkle, 2012).”
Back to basics: Behavioral theory and internationalization (2020, background): “Such an internationalization motive would be consistent with the evidence on how performance below aspiration levels in financial goals such as return on investment (ROA) can lead to a broad range of strategic actions (Greve & Gaba, 2017; Shinkle, 2012).”
