The centrality of communication norm alignment, role clarity, and trust in global project teams (2016, methodology): “A mixed methods model is ideal when one is seeking complementarity between quantitative and qualitative data to more fully explain the results (Sale et al., 2002; Yauch and Steudel, 2003; Vergne, 2012).”
Hybrid Vigor: Securing Venture Capital by Spanning Categories in Nanotechnology (2014, background): “It has also been noted that firms can benefit from hybridization when they engage in less category spanning than others (Durand et al., 2007) or when they want to dilute a stigmatized identity (Vergne, 2012).”

A Burden of Responsibility: The Role of Social Approval at the Onset of a Crisis (2014, background): “Higher levels of social approval are reflected in external accounts of praise, such as positive media coverage, institutional endorsements, and placement on popular social lists or rankings (Vergne, 2012).”
Where Do Market Categories Come From and How? Distinguishing Category Creation From Category Emergence (2017, neutral): “In particular, a main focus of attention is the presence, under the same roof, of categories with opposed valence, which leads to the question of the consequences of such a situation for the performance, reputation, or strategic actions of such firms (e.g., Vergne, 2012; Wry et al., 2014).”
