The three faces of China: Strategic alliance partner selection in three ethnic Chinese economies (2014, methodology): “3 Our sample is nonrandom and similar to much macro-level research in that regard (e.g., Short et al., 2002).”
The relationship between high performance work systems and employee proactive behaviour: role breadth self-efficacy and flexible role orientation as mediating mechanisms (2017, background): “The results of the t-test (t=0.26, sig.=0.79 for ROA, t=0.18 sig.=0.86 for ROE, t=1.28, sig.=0.20 for firm size) showed that our sample of PSFs does not significantly differ from the population of PSFs in terms of size and performance (Short et al., 2002).”
Towards a new model of success and performance in SMEs (2012, background): “Other researchers have also expressed misgivings about the current state of research in this area (Kieser, 2005; March and Sutton, 1997; Short et al., 2002).”
Firm and industry effects on firm performance: A generalization and extension for new ventures (2009, methodology): “We used t-tests for examining the representativeness of the means and ANOVA for understanding differences in the variance (cf. Short et al., 2002 ).”
Research in social entrepreneurship: past contributions and future opportunities (2009, background): “Research on the determinants of fi rm performance found that strategic management research has exceeded the minimum number of sample to observations needed for most multivariate techniques (Short et al., 2002).”
Special Issue on Corporate Transformation in the People's Republic of China: The Institutional Effects on Strategic Alliance Partner Selection in Transition Economies: China vs. Russia (2004, background): “The sample is nonrandom, similar to most of the samples in macrolevel research, including studies conducted on North American firms where the universe of firms is much easier to identify (Short et al. 2002).”
Making it personal: : Opportunity individuation and the shaping of opportunity beliefs (2014, background): “Tests for non-response bias showed no statistically significant differences between early and later respondents (Armstrong and Overton, 1977) or between respondents and non-respondents (Short et al., 2002) on the basis of age, education, or years of entrepreneurial experience.”
Construct Validation Using Computer-Aided Text Analysis (CATA) (2010, background): “Sampling decisions are critical for establishing generalizability of study findings, but the decisions made by organizational researchers concerning selection of a particular sampling frame have often lacked adequate justification (Short, Ketchen, & Palmer, 2002).”
Unpacking the uncertainty construct: Implications for entrepreneurial action (2011, methodology): “Following the guidelines set out in Short et al. (2002), we conducted a number of tests to examine the potential of non-response bias.”
