Opportunity Evaluation as Rule‐Based Decision Making (2014, background): “Prior work suggests that opportunity evaluation is a conceptually distinct (Dimov, 2007; Tumasjan et al., 2012) and interpretive endeavour (Barreto, 2012) whereby mindful (Corbett and McMullen, 2007) individuals attend to exogenous decision criteria (e.g. technologies, resources, etc.) and apply…”
From entrepreneurial intentions to actions: Self-control and action-related doubt, fear, and aversion (2015, background): “A CLT-based study in the entrepreneurship domain confirms CLT’s predictions: it found desirability exerted a stronger influence on opportunity evaluation when the exploitation phase is temporally distant rather than close, whereas feasibility affects evaluation more strongly when exploitation is clo”
Success, Failure, and Entrepreneurial Reentry: An Experimental Assessment of the Veracity of Self–Efficacy and Prospect Theory (2017, result): “In model 3, R2 was .34 (p < .001), which was commensurate with other experimental studies in entrepreneurship (cf. Corbett, 2007; Tumasjan et al., 2013).”
Designing Entrepreneurship Experiments (2017, background): “An example is the Tumasjan, Welpe, and Sporrle (2013) experimental study of the moderating role of temporal distance in opportunity evaluation and exploitation.”
