Resource constraints as triggers of radical innovation: Longitudinal evidence from the manufacturing sector (2013, background): “level of entrepreneurship since highly entrepreneurial firms may overcome resource constraints faster and more efficiently than firms who have yet to develop such entrepreneurial responses (Hitt et al., 2001; Ireland et al., 2001; Klein, 2008).”
Uncertainty, Knowledge Problems, and Entrepreneurial Action (2018, background): “Because entrepreneurial action depends on the presence of unknowingness for opportunities to be discovered (Kirzner, 1997; Shane & Venkataraman, 2000), created (Alvarez & Barney, 2007), effectuated (Sarasvathy, 2001), or imagined (Klein, 2008), well-intended uses of knowledge problems that suffer fr”
Insights and New Directions from Demand-Side Approaches to Technology Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management Research (2012, background): “In this section we first provide a brief discussion of the overarching theoretical perspectives often used to describe entrepreneurship from the demand side—most notably the work of Kirzner (1973, 1997) and Penrose (1959). Second, we review two demand-side research themes in entrepreneurial contexts”

Cross‐Country Determinants of Early‐Stage Necessity and Opportunity‐Motivated Entrepreneurship: Accounting for Model Uncertainty (2018, unknown): “Recent work in labor economics and the economics of entrepreneurship conceptualizes self-employment as an occupational choice; that is, as an alternative to working for others (Klein 2008; Parker 2004).”
THE PRODUCTION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITY: A CONSTRUCTIVIST PERSPECTIVE (SUMMARY) (2010, background): “At this initial stage, the opportunity is imagined (Shackle, 1979; Klein, 2008) and the entrepreneur is likely to be uncertain about the viability of the opportunity.”
Institutions, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Growth: What Do We Know and What Do We Still Need to Know? (2016, unknown): “Kirzner and the rest of the classical entrepreneurship scholars concentrate on the functions of entrepreneurship (Klein, 2008), whether equilibrating (Kirzner, 1973), disrupting (Schumpeter, 1911), or creating (Casson, 1982) markets or forming new firms (Knight, 1921).”
