Corporate Entrepreneurship: State‐of‐the‐Art Research and a Future Research Agenda (2013, background): “So, what structure can be employed (O’Connor et al., 2009) to allow individual corporate entrepreneurs to develop processes that can be most successful and to learn best from the inevitable project failures that are part of CE (Corbett, Neck, and DeTienne, 2007)?”
Heuristics, learning and the business angel investment decision-making process (2015, background): “Finally, in the case of nascent angels, some demonstrated clear evidence of the role of cognitive biases in attenuating the learning process (Corbett, Neck, and DeTienne 2007), arguing with confidence – arguably over-confidence – that the knowledge that they had derived from their professional…”
Negative Emotional Reactions to Project Failure and the Self‐Compassion to Learn from the Experience (2009, background): “More specifically, although project failure within organizations provides valuable learning opportunities (Corbett et al., 2008; McGrath, 1999; Sitkin, 1992), when these failures are emotionally painful they are less likely to be discussed and learning from these experiences is compromised…”
Entrepreneurial alertness in the pursuit of new opportunities (2012, background): “For example, the failure rates of developing initiatives remain a major challenge with approximately 33% of new products and services failing prior to launch (Corbett et al., 2007).”
International Entrepreneurship and Capability Development—Qualitative Evidence and Future Research Directions (2011, background): “Similarly, recent studies also highlight the importance of learning from failure for performance and survival (Corbett et al., 2007; Haunschild & Sullivan, 2002; Miner et al., 1999).”

Different Strokes for Different Folks: Entrepreneurial Narratives of Emotion, Cognition, and Making Sense of Business Failure (2015, background): “Furthermore, research on entrepreneurial learning has focused on the cognitive and mental processes of how entrepreneurs learn (Corbett, Neck & DeTienne, 2007; Mitchell et al., 2002).”
What is entrepreneurial failure? Implications for future research (2016, background): “Finally, the literature on learning from project failure (Corbett et al., 2007) could provide a starting point for analyzing the process of learning from setbacks.”
Costs and Benefits of Inter-Departmental Innovation Collaboration (2011, background): “While the termination of a project occasionally might be the only economically sensible thing to do (Corbett et al., 2007; Dilts and Pence, 2006), this can have substantial negative consequences.”
Thinking About Entrepreneurial Decision Making (2015, background): “Along these lines, Corbett, Neck, and DeTienne (2007) proposed that organizational members differ from each other in their activation of different termination scripts and that different scripts have varying implications for termination timing and organizational learning from the experience.”
