• A Marginal Effects Approach to Interpreting Main Effects and Moderation (2021, background): “…suggests this was employed in fewer than 7% of studies compared to isolating the independent variable in over 93% of studies), this approach has gained traction in recent years largely due to an expanded literature on limited dependent variables (e.g., Hoetker, 2007; Wiersema & Bowen, 2009).”
• Testing Moderating Hypotheses in Limited Dependent Variable and Other Nonlinear Models (2012, methodology): “…management research, recent articles have sought to inform management researchers of the issues raised by Ai and Norton and have elaborated on methods to analyze and interpret the analytically correct moderating effect in LDV models (e.g., Hoetker, 2007; Wiersema & Bowen, 2009; Zelner, 2009).”
• Ready to Be Open? Explaining the Firm-Level Barriers to Benefiting from Openness to External Knowledge (2017, unknown): “We also calculated the marginal effects, which were consistent (cf. Wiersema and Bowen, 2009).”
• Does familiarity foster innovation? The impact of alliance partner repeatedness on breakthrough innovations (2015, unknown): “As prior studies have shown (Hoetker, 2007; Wiersema and Bowen, 2009), interpreting the interaction terms in non-linear regressions require careful examination at specific values of certain variables because the actual interaction effect, expressed as the partial derivative, often includes…”
• Contingency Hypotheses in Strategic Management Research (2012, methodology): “The relationships can be graphed according to specific values of the moderator (e.g., low, medium, high), minimum and maximum z-statistic values are then reported, and an indication of whether the relationship changes form over this range can be made (Hoetker, 2007; Wiersema & Bowen, 2009).”
• Is there complementarity or substitutability between internal and external R&D strategies? (2012, background): “…exhibited in Figure 1, was conducted to manifest the nature and significance of the interactive effect by plotting its value and the implied z-statistic value over the range of internal R&D investments by incumbent pharmaceutical firms (Ai and Norton, 2003; Hoetker, 2007; Wiersema and Bowen, 2009).”
• Making a marriage of materials: The role of gatekeepers and shepherds in the absorption of external knowledge and innovation performance (2017, methodology): “As the coefficients of interactions in logit models have limited interpretability due to the non-linearity of these models (Hoetker, 2007; Wiersema and Bowen, 2009), we follow best practice and graph the interaction effects using a simulation procedure proposed by Zelner (2009).”
• Enhancing Rigor in Quantitative Entrepreneurship Research (2019, methodology): “However, correctly implementing these methods and interpreting the results requires great care (Wiersema & Bowen, 2009).”
