Applying the 3E Theory-Assessment Framework to a Proposed New Theory of Entrepreneurship (2015, methodology): “In testing, there is no support for the unitary construct assumption; for example, Chandler et al.

Effectuation, Exploratory Learning and New Venture Performance: Evidence from China** (2017, methodology): “According to the theory of effectuation, it is reasonable to expect greater variance in performance when effectuation is used under high levels of uncertainty (Chandler et al. 2011; Read, Song, and Smit 2009; Wiltbank et al. 2006).”
Perceived progress variability and entrepreneurial effort intensity: The moderating role of venture goal commitment (2015, background): “Extending the period of study into years may enable capturing other elements that could change in the entrepreneur’s striving process such as strategies, plans and other contingencies, as featured in effectuation studies (Chandler et al., 2011; Sarasvathy, 2001).”
