The Context of Entrepreneurial Judgment: Organizations, Markets, and Institutions (2019, neutral): “…view (Shane and Venkataraman, 2000; Shane, 2003) builds on Kirzner (1973), the judgment-based approach (Foss and Klein, 2012) builds on Knight (1921), the creation view (Alvarez and Barney, 2004) builds on Shackle (1972), and the effectuation view (Sarasvathy, 2001, 2008) build on Simon (1955).”
Entrepreneurship in Russia and China: The Impact of Formal Institutional Voids (2010, background): “As such, they must usually be more than passive actors or discoverers reacting to the environment as in discovery theory, and instead be creators who take actions to influence their environment, seen as creation theory (Alvarez & Barney, 2004, 2007).”
Markets, Hierarchies, and Families: Toward a Transaction Cost Theory of the Family Firm (2010, neutral): “Since tacit knowledge is marked by significant causal ambiguity (Alvarez & Barney, 2004), there exists substantial information asymmetries between its possessor and others regarding its ‘true’ value and potential uses.”
Performance Configurations over Time: Implications for Growth– and Profit–Oriented Strategies (2009, background): “…that a firm shows high profitability indicates that it has created a product that has a considerable value above cost for its customers, and that the firm has developed a business model that allows it to appropriate a substantial share of that value (cf. Alvarez & Barney, 2004; Amit & Zott, 2001).”
The role of market and technological knowledge in recognizing entrepreneurial opportunities (2012, background): “Because people’s decision making frameworks are not always accurate, they make errors (Gaglio and Katz, 2001), which, in turn, create opportunities for others to access and recombine resources in a way that creates entrepreneurial rents (Alvarez and Barney, 2004; Alvarez and Busenitz, 2001).”
A Positive Theory of Social Entrepreneurship (2012, neutral): “Similarly, theories of the entrepreneurial firm place the capture of rents at the center of why some activities are internalized in new ventures (Alvarez and Barney 2004).”
The Effects of Business Failure Experience on Successive Entrepreneurial Engagements: An Evolutionary Phase Model (2018, background): “…entrepreneurship research has focused on the notion that entrepreneurial opportunity identification/discovery and its subsequent exploitation results in economic rent creation and the success of entrepreneurial ventures (Alvarez & Barney, 2004; Shane & Venkataraman, 2000; Zellweger & Sieger, 2012).”
THE PRODUCTION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITY: A CONSTRUCTIVIST PERSPECTIVE (SUMMARY) (2010, background): “Although Giddens (1984) was not referring directly to entrepreneurs or entrepreneurship, his theory carries lessons for that topic because access to resources is considered to be a key part of the entrepreneurial enterprise (Alvarez and Barney, 2004).”
Opportunities and institutions: A co-creation story of the king crab industry (2015, background): “However, this current designation of institutional entrepreneurs seems disconnected from the traditional notion of what entrepreneurs do—that is, enact opportunities in the pursuit of wealth creation (Alvarez and Barney, 2004; Shane and Venkataraman, 2000).”
Entrepreneurial Opportunities and Poverty Alleviation (2014, background): “Without this knowledge, it is relatively more difficult to appropriate opportunities that were originally developed by an entrepreneur (Alvarez & Barney, 2004).”
Portfolio Entrepreneurship in Family Firms: A Resource-based Perspective (2011, background): “…in the portfolio entrepreneurship context refers to the knowledge, abilities, and skills that positively contribute to exploring and exploiting opportunities (Davidsson and Honig, 2003; Alvarez and Barney, 2004; Wiklund and Shepherd, 2008) and is often divided into general and specifi c forms.”
