Complexity dynamics of nascent entrepreneurship (2007, background): “According to dissipative structures theory, adaptive tension – whether generated by a perceived opportunity or by the internal aspiration to start a business (Gartner et al., 2003) – will drive the enactment of organizing activities that a nascent”
Researching Entrepreneurship as Lived Experience (2006, background): “Similarly Gartner et al. (2003) see enactment (Weick 1979) as a constructive way to comprehend opportunities in the context of entrepreneurial action.”
The Nature of Entrepreneurial Opportunities: Understanding the Process Using the 4I Organizational Learning Framework (2005, background): “Gartner et al. (2003) suggest that prior research on the phenomenon seems to have adopted one of the two opposing ontological positions.”
Entrepreneurial Behavior: Firm Organizing Processes (2010, background): “Since the theory and logic of these two perspectives are covered in more detail elsewhere (Gartner et al., 2003), we will offer evidence from Gartner and Shaver (2009) using data from PSED 1 to suggest there is no preponderance of evidence for either view.”
Can genetic factors influence the likelihood of engaging in entrepreneurial activity (2009, background): “If, entrepreneurial opportunities arise out of life's experiences and events (Gartner et al., 2001) which are, to some degree, genetically influenced, entrepreneurial opportunities are not truly independent of an individual and are non-randomly distributed across the population.”
Beyond the Single-Person, Single-Insight Attribution in Understanding Entrepreneurial Opportunities (2007, background): “Enactment entails an individual’s conceiving of a particular environment (Gartner et al., 2003; Weick, 1979) and acting as if this environment were real (Gartner et al.”
Collective Cognition: When Entrepreneurial Teams, Not Individuals, Make Decisions (2007, background): “In addition, the idiosyncratic nature of information seeking and knowledge building behaviors enables entrepreneurs to define new opportunities where none had existed before (Gartner et al., 2003; West, 2003).”
International entrepreneurship and the small business (2004, background): “In this way entrepreneurs are constantly evaluating information, making choices about which environmental or situational ‘cues’ to respond to and weighing up the risks, gains, losses and added-value to be created from enacting a particular opportunity (Gartner et al. 2003).”
From Opportunity Insight to Opportunity Intention: The Importance of Person–Situation Learning Match (2007, background): “…opportunity development process, it is essential to both capture its ephemeral beginning and fragile sustenance in order to avoid survival bias, and to reconcile the positivist and constructivist accounts of the nature of opportunities (Davidsson, 2003; Dutta & Crossan, 2005; Gartner et al., 2003).”
Cognitive Processes of Opportunity Recognition: The Role of Structural Alignment (2010, background): “The debate has generated considerable attention (cf. Davidsson 2003, Gartner et al. 2003, McMullen et al. 2007).”
Implementation intentions in the entrepreneurial process: concept, empirical findings, and research agenda (2018, background): “Taking action can therefore increase motivation (the fourth and concluding phase of the action phase model is once again motivational), or lead to a justified conclusion that it is better not to start the venture (Davidsson 2006; Gartner et al. 2003).”
