Does Social Media Use Influence Entrepreneurial Opportunity? A Review of its Moderating Role (2017, background): “Schumpeter’s asserted opportunities are created by an innovative entrepreneur by accessing new information and recombining resources [31].”
A systematic literature review of entrepreneurial opportunity recognition: insights on influencing factors (2014, background): “For example, situations in which products and services are aligned with market demand and facilitate value are considered entrepreneurial opportunities, whereas opportunity creation occurs when neither product nor demand exists and must be invented from scratch (Buenstorf 2007).”
Prior knowledge and social networks in the exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities (2010, background): “In fact, the study of the discovery and exploitation of opportunities suggests a promising focus, as well as a challenge for research on entrepreneurship (Buenstorf 2007; Shane and Venkataraman 2000).”
A conceptual framework for entrepreneurship education policy: Meeting government and economic purposes (2013, background): “For instance Buenstorf (2007) locates his evolutionary economic analysis of opportunities within the market process and avoids pre-existing exogenous factors.”
Entrepreneurial Opportunities and Poverty Alleviation (2014, background): “Alvarez and Barney (2007), Miller (2007), and others (Buenstorf, 2007; Sarasvathy, Dew, Velamuri, & Venkataraman, 2003) have described various types of opportunities; the kinds of human capital, property rights, and financial capital needed to exploit them; and their potential for generating…”

Entrepreneurial Behavior: Firm Organizing Processes (2010, background): “A number of scholars suggest that the idea of “opportunity” is a fundamental and critical aspect of the phenomenon of entrepreneurship (Alvarez & Barney, 2007; Buenstorf, 2007; Casson & Wadeson, 2007; Companys & McMullen, 2007; Gaglio & Katz, 2001; Kirzner, 1997; McMullen et al., 2007; Plummer et al”
Forming and Exploiting Opportunities: The Implications of Discovery and Creation Processes for Entrepreneurial and Organizational Research (2013, background): “…Ruef 2006, Alvarez and Barney 2007, McMullen and Shepherd 2006, Shane 2003, Shane and Venkataraman 2000) does not mean there is consensus on how to study these issues (Aldrich and Ruef 2006, Buenstorf 2007, Gloria-Palermo 1999, Klein 2008, Miller 2007, Sarasvathy et al. 2003, Venkataraman 2003).”
Opportunities and institutions: A co-creation story of the king crab industry (2015, background): “…that opportunities are not formed in a singular “ah ha” moment but instead the result of both purposeful and emergent action by entrepreneurs (Alvarez and Barney, 2007; Alvarez et al., 2013; Buenstorf, 2007; Dimov, 2010; Garud and Karnoe, 2003; Gregoire et al., 2010; Sarasvathy, 2001).”
