Entrepreneurship in China (2018, unknown): “Some studies have sought to understand the ways in which social networks or guanxi influences investment decisions, firms’ survival likelihood, financing source acquisition, business opportunities, and competitive advantage (Batjargal 2007; Batjargal and Liu 2004; Ellis 2011; Park and Luo 2001; Troi”
Networking responses to different levels of institutional void: a comparison of internationalizing SMEs in Egypt and the UK (2017, background): “Coping behaviour includes ways in which SMEs may seek to adapt to, or compensate for, institutional voids by seeking support through networking (Ellis, 2011; Musteen, Datta & Butts, 2014; Su, Xie & Wang, 2015).”
Micro-multinational or not? International entrepreneurship, networking and learning effects (2014, background): “Valuable knowledge and learning of foreignmarket opportunities are likely acquired through existing personal networks (Ellis, 2011) instead of the systematic market search that more formal mMNE learning processes may render.”
SME international business models: the role of context and experience (2017, unknown): “SMEs therefore have the potential to include in their business models the leveraging of network links for accessing information and other resources to facilitate their internationalization (Ellis, 2011; Musteen, Datta, & Butts, 2014; Sharma & Blomstermo, 2003).”
Creating the Future Together: Toward a Framework for Research Synthesis in Entrepreneurship (2014, background): “Contextual conditions such as geographic, psychic, and linguistic proximity limit a person’s existing network, which reduces the number and variation of opportunities that can be mediated by these social ties (Ellis, 2010).”
Decision mode, information and network attachment in the internationalization of SMEs: A configurational and contingency analysis (2014, background): “Networking plays an important role for accessing and acquiring information relevant to SME international growth (e.g. Andersen; 2006; Ellis, 2011; Manolova, Manev, & Gyoshev, 2010; Yli-Renko, Autio, & Tontti, 2002).”
International entrepreneurship: The pursuit of entrepreneurial opportunities across national borders (2018, background): “For example, Ellis (2011) defines an opportunity as an Journal of International Business Studies exchange agreement with new customers in new foreign markets, Chandra, Styles, and Wilkinson (2012) define an opportunity as a firm’s first international venture, and Karra, Phillips, and Tracey (2008)…”
Networks, Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Internationalization Scope: Evidence from Chilean Small and Medium Enterprises (2015, background): “sonal contacts as firm-level resources, in particular when scanning for business opportunities in new foreign markets (Ellis 2011).”
Do International Networks and Foreign Market Knowledge Facilitate SME Internationalization? Evidence from the Czech Republic (2014, background): “The social network theory suggests that attributes of networks are likely to be idiosyncratic across firms, contributing to differences in market knowledge that they provide and the international opportunities that they help to identify (Ellis, 2011).”
An Effectual Approach to International Entrepreneurship: Overlaps, Challenges, and Provocative Possibilities (2014, unknown): “In a recent study of 665 international ventures founded by entrepreneurs in four Chinese cities, Ellis (2011) demonstrated the idiosyncratic nature of social ties as drivers of internationalization and both their value and inhibiting effects in fostering success down the road.”
