Creating the Future Together: Toward a Framework for Research Synthesis in Entrepreneurship (2014, background): “In addition, the support and encouragement of entrepreneurs’ social networks help entrepreneurs gain more confidence to pursue radically new opportunities (Samuelsson & Davidsson, 2009) or growth opportunities (Tominc & Rebernik, 2007).”
Intrapreneurial intentions versus entrepreneurial intentions: distinct constructs with different antecedents (2013, background): “While some researchers (e.g. Samuelsson & Davidsson, 2009) have considered heterogeneity on the opportunity side, the literature has almost totally neglected the individual’s formation of the intention to behave entrepreneurially as an employee within an existing firm.”
What makes student entrepreneurs? On the relevance (and irrelevance) of the university and the regional context for student start-ups (2016, background): “While start-ups based on ideas from study and research are likely to be more innovative, they might also be idea- rather than demand-driven, leading to greater difficulties to establish them in the market (Samuelsson & Davidsson, 2009).”
Emergence of entrepreneurial behaviour: The role of age-based self-image (2015, background): “Because both the individuals and the opportunities are heterogeneous (e.g., Rauch & Frese, 2007; Samuelsson & Davidsson, 2009), individuals can recognize entrepreneurial opportunities, but they do not necessarily recognize them as opportunities that they themselves can or should pursue.”
The Schumpeterian entrepreneur: a review of the empirical evidence on the antecedents, behaviour and consequences of innovative entrepreneurship (2017, unknown): “Samuelsson and Davidsson (2009) focus on investigating differences in the venture creation process for innovative versus imitative ventures.”
Scientists’ transition to academic entrepreneurship: Economic and psychological determinants (2012, background): “Social capital resources stemming from these ties have been shown to particularly affect the early stages of the entrepreneurial process, i.e., the initial decision to engage in entrepreneurship (Liao & Welsch, 2005; Samuelsson & Davidsson, 2009).”
Making sense of entrepreneurial exit strategies: A typology and test (2015, background): “The research into the types of opportunities entrepreneurs pursue demonstrates different resource inputs and processes as part of pursuing high versus low innovative opportunities (Samuelsson and Davidsson, 2009).”
Social support timing and persistence in nascent entrepreneurship: exploring when instrumental and emotional support is most effective (2017, background): “While some studies provided optimistic empirical results (Davidsson and Honig 2003; Samuelsson and Davidsson 2009; Newbert and Tornikoski 2012; Newbert et al. 2013; Kim et al. 2013; Kreiser et al. 2013), others were less successful and obtained both mixed results (Tornikoski and Newbert 2007), no ef”
Technology-Market Combinations and the Identification of Entrepreneurial Opportunities: An Investigation of the Opportunity-Individual Nexus (2012, background): “Entrepreneurial action concerns the introduction of new products, services, technologies, or business models that may depart substantially from existing practices (Gruber, MacMillan, & Thompson, 2008; Samuelsson & Davidsson, 2009; Santos & Eisenhardt, 2009).”
Balanced skills among nascent entrepreneurs (2013, background): “High-potential projects are often founded by teams in order to combine skills and abilities (Samuelsson and Davidsson 2009; Davidsson et al. 2008).”
Does innovativeness reduce startup survival rates (2015, methodology): “However, another set of theoretical arguments suggest that the link may also be negative: Pursuing innovations leads to riskier, more complicated, and less linear start-up processes (Samuelsson and Davidsson, 2009) and (potentially) to more skewed returns (Scherer and Harhoff, 2000).”
Nascent Entrepreneurs and Venture Emergence: Opportunity Confidence, Human Capital, and Early Planning (2010, background): “But recent evidence also shows the opposite, i.e. that entrepreneurial experience is associated with higher initial venturing progress but has no effect on subsequent progress (Samuelsson and Davidsson, 2009).”
