Capabilities and strategic entrepreneurship in public organizations (2013, background): “…judgment over the mobilization and deployment of resources under uncertainty, seek the insights of users, introduce technological and organizational innovations, and develop novel strategies (Felin and Zenger, 2009; Klein, 2008; Shah and Tripsas, 2007; Van de Ven, Sapienza, and Villanueva, 2007).”
Making it personal: : Opportunity individuation and the shaping of opportunity beliefs (2014, background): “These beliefs are key drivers of entrepreneurial behavior (Felin and Zenger, 2009; McMullen and Shepherd, 2006), and as such, understanding the processes and factors that inform opportunity beliefs is important to advance our understanding of entrepreneurial behaviors and outcomes.”
Theories of the Firm-Market Boundary (2011, unknown): “Entrepreneurial and managerial theories of value creation (Felin & Zenger, 2009) can also guide processes associated with recombination and distant search (Ahuja & Lampert, 2001; Fleming & Sorensen, 2004; Rosenkopf & Nerkar, 2001).”
Economic Opportunity and Evolution: Beyond Landscapes and Bounded Rationality (2013, background): “But these are scarcely sufficient for explaining economic or entrepreneurial novelty (Felin and Zenger, 2009).”
THE PRODUCTION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITY: A CONSTRUCTIVIST PERSPECTIVE (SUMMARY) (2010, background): “According to constructivist logic, the viability cognition emerges through experience, social interaction, and the individual’s perceived ability to infl uence the current social structure in a way that allows for the creation of a path to a new venture (Zahra, 2008; Felin and Zenger, 2009).”
The Adoption of Open Innovation in Large Firms (2018, methodology): “According to existing theory, we can distinguish four major modes using two dimensions for classification: (1) Bilateral versus multiactor and (2) Transactional versus collaborative (Bagherzadeh and Brunswicker 2015; Chesbrough and Brunswicker 2014; Felin and Zenger 2009, 2014).”
The endogenous origins of experience, routines, and organizational capabilities: the poverty of stimulus (2010, background): “In other words, there is ‘Spielraum’, an extended possibility space that should be accounted for in the decision-making and choices and behavior of individuals and organizations (Felin and Zenger, 2009).”
Microfoundations of Routines and Capabilities: Individuals, Processes, and Structure (2012, unknown): “This is particularly likely (and important) when there is little experience to draw on, as is the case with de novo startup organizations (for an overview, see Felin & Zenger, 2009) or when a transformation in industry conditions makes experience irrelevant.”
Revitalizing Entrepreneurship: The Search for New Research Opportunities (2011, unknown): “More research in this area would likewise be fruitful for entrepreneurship, not only in resource formation, but also in opportunity recognition (Felin and Zenger, 2009).”
