The Concept of “Opportunity” in Entrepreneurship Research: Past Accomplishments and Future Challenges (2010, background): “For example, the transition point at which entrepreneurs cease to explore opportunities and begin exploiting them may have significant implications for the performance of particular projects (Choi et al., 2008; Ireland & Webb, in press).”

When passion fades: disentangling the temporal dynamics of entrepreneurial passion for founding (2016, background): “Despite their shared context, how entrepreneurs experience, process and respond to uncertainty is likely to vary significantly across individuals and time (Choi et al., 2008; McMullen and Shepherd, 2006; Morris et al., 2010; Schindehutte et al., 2006).”
Unpacking the uncertainty construct: Implications for entrepreneurial action (2011, background): “These findings would represent an opportunity for scholars to reconsider assumptions and empirical findings with regard to how entrepreneurs evaluate potential opportunities (Haynie et al., 2009) and subsequently select strategies for exploitation (Choi et al., 2008).”
Who invests in renewable electricity production? Empirical evidence and suggestions for further research (2013, background): “Once the decision to exploit an opportunity has been taken, the main challenge for entrepreneurs is to gather and combine resources such as capital and knowledge (Alvarez and Busenitz, 2001; Brush et al., 2001; Choi et al., 2008; Florida and Kenney, 1988).”

Entrepreneurial Orientation and International Scope: The Differential Roles of Innovativeness, Proactiveness, and Risk-Taking (2014, background): “…at low levels of innovativeness, products are less resource-intensive, which may likewise facilitate a firm's internationalization efforts by directing its resources toward the exploitation of standardized, competitively priced products that require little customization abroad (Choi et al., 2008).”
Understanding dynamics of strategic decision-making in venture creation : a process study of effectuation and causation (2015, background): “Causation aims to carry out a strategy as planned, negatively reacting to any unexpected events that may arise, which are seen as interruptions to the execution of the strategy (Garud and Van de Ven, 1992; Van de Ven and Polley, 1992; Choi, Lévesque, and Shepherd, 2008).”

Interaction between feasibility and desirability in the formation of entrepreneurial intentions (2011, background): “…followingBrockner et al.
