Or is opportunity recognition a process that spans over time, as many would suggest (Fiet, 2002; Shane, 2003; Park, 2005)? And how active or passive is the role of an alert entrepreneur in the process”
Antecedents of Business Opportunity Identification and Innovation: Investigating the Interplay of Information Processing and Information Acquisition (2014, background): “Research supports this line of reasoning by showing that information search intensity has a main effect on opportunity identification (Fiet, 2002; Ucbasaran et al., 2008).”

In the Eye of the Beholder: How Regulatory Focus and Self-Efficacy Interact in Influencing Opportunity Recognition (2011, unknown): “In a more recent study, Fitzsimmons and Douglas (2010) investigated the role that desirability and feasibility play in forming entrepreneurial intentions.”
Serendipity in Entrepreneurship (2009, background): “…some combination of search (directed effort), contingency (favorable accidents), and prior knowledge (sagacity).1 Entrepreneurship scholars have identified roles for both systematic exploration and spontaneous recognition in the literature on the discovery of opportunities (Fiet 2002; Shane 2000).”
