Founder passion, neural engagement and informal investor interest in startup pitches: An fMRI study (2020, background): “Due to the cost and challenges of obtaining experts, it is common for preliminary investigations to utilize naïve subjects (Chen et al., 1998; Chen et al., 2009; Fiet and Patel, 2008; Genevsky and Knutson, 2015; Genevsky et al., 2017; Hsu et al., 2017; Zampetakis et al., 2017).”
Types of innovation, sources of information and performance in entrepreneurial SMEs (2010, background): “Fiet et al. (2007; see also Fiet and Patel, 2008), for example, stress the superiority of systematic search over Kirznerian entrepreneurial alertness (Kirzner, 1997), both because systematic search discovers more potentialities to innovate and because searching can be, at least to some extent,…”
Integrating Discovery and Creation Perspectives of Entrepreneurial Action: The Relative Roles of Founding CEO Human Capital, Social Capital, and Psychological Capital in Contexts of Risk Versus Uncertainty (2015, background): “While constrained focus may be advantageous for gaining precision and producing efficiencies within a discovery context (Fiet and Patel, 2008), it may potentially hinder the ability of entrepreneurs to effectively navigate the uncertainty associated with a creation context (Hmieleski and Baron,…”
Designing Entrepreneurship Experiments (2017, methodology): “…this limitation, quasi-experiments have been used in entrepreneurship research to examine the outcomes of entrepreneurship education (e.g., Fiet & Patel, 2008; Volery, Müller, Oser, Naepflin, & Del Rey, 2013), normative behaviors of entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs (e.g., Arend, 2016;…”
A systematic literature review of entrepreneurial opportunity recognition: insights on influencing factors (2014, background): “Fiet has made some of the most important contributions on the theme (Fiet 1996, 2007; Fiet and Patel 2008).”
A theoretical analysis of the role of social networks in entrepreneurship (2014, methodology): “6 Fiet (2007) and Fiet and Patel (2008) heuristically examine the entrepreneur’s search for knowledge by contrasting Kirzner's (1985) relatively passive notion of alertness as a method for discovery with a more systematic focused approach and provide experimental evidence that suggests the…”
