Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

  • 1.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-03-2018 14:50

    At risk of sparking a long list, I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions about articles published over the past decade that are MUST READS for doctoral students.

     

    I look forward to your suggestions, and will compile and share the result when done.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    I would also like to see such a list, as I will be teaching a principles of ent course.  Not to step on Bill's idea but to streamline the process maybe a suggestion would be for people to provide a top five or top 10 list.  That way we would not get a lot of single articles but articulated lists

    Thanks Bill & Julio for getting this topic started-my sense is that there will be great interest here.

    I created this google spreadsheet (Click Here) so that folks might put in their recommended articles. If you all like this method, great-it is publicly available and anyone can see/edit it. If not, then feel free to email Bill and Julio and they can aggregate suggestions.

    Best, Jeff

  • 7.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-08-2018 17:50
    But, Erik... is most-cited (Greif) really a marker of what's been truly influential? Some of those clearly haven't passed the test of time. 
    The ENT Div's list is pretty political - as in who deserves it versus the game-changers that Bill asked for?  Name recognition is huge in our Division's list
    Hans Landstrom had his list... none excite me at all. 
    Any of this lists will reflect the preferences of those compiling and probably location (there will be a NorAm/Europe bias... I just read a killer physics paper from Hungary & a school I'd never heard - but it's going to be a huge game-changer.

    What about DeNoble's self-efficacy scale -- he never even got that paper published! 

    I suggested to Bill to think about a more bibliometric approach - how did citations on a topic change before & after that article?

    A thought: You can also go to G-Scholar and look up the top 5-10 most-cited articles for JBV, ETP, ERD, etc. (I did that for the Division a couple years ago & thought those were fascinating lists, not just the usual suspects... and SEJ & SBE and you've spanned the domain pretty well. 

    Another thought: A tournament. Identify 32 (or ?) contenders - then pair them off and have people pick one, then repeat as desired. Make it easy & fun. Still have a name recognition issue but we could adjust via seeding?

  • 8.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-08-2018 18:40
    Hello Norris,

    First, no matter how you define "truly influential", the fact that a Greif Research Impact Award winning article has acheived the greatest number of citations in a six year window, is a clear and objective sign that researchers are reading and using the article, which is something worth celebrating and recommending as reading to our PhD students.

    Second, I am sorry to hear that you think that the Entrepreneurship Division's Foundational Paper award list is political. Given that I have personally managed this process for the past two years, I can tell you from first hand experience that this process has been as democratic and as mathematical as a former aerospace engineer (which I am) can manage.

    To begin, any member of the Entrepreneurship Division can nominate a paper that has been published over ten years ago. Next, all of members of the entrepreneurship division's Research Committee - now 40 in total - have a chance to provide their numerical rankings of the most influential nominated articles. And based on this quantitative data, I statistically compute which article is most influential in the eyes of the committee.

    Now, while you are free to contend that these quantitative processes might not identify the articles which you define as "truly influential", these are very mechanical and quantiative processes with no room for personal or professional politics.

    That said, if you can recommend a quantiative and democratic process that is better at identifying your "truly influential" articles, please let me know and I would be happy to try it out.

    Best Regards,

    Erik

  • 9.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-08-2018 19:27
    Sorry to seem cranky - the Greif & AoM ENT awards are wonderful recognition! But does the raw number of citations really matter in terms of being truly influential? It might be an indirect marker, I agree, but it doesn't tell us if it's stood the test of time. So why not look at those top 10 most-cited lists? Wouldn't that seem more inclusive? (p.s. I did offer 3 suggestions, 2 at the end of my post.) 

    The history of science is littered with examples that the real difference-makers that newcomers must read are rarely obvious at the time, maybe for decades later. (Einstein's critics got referenced a lot more than his relativity articles. Would he have made any of our lists in 1915?)  Of course, at least in the sciences, I suspect the prescription would be to not identify articled but people. And people who were influential back in the day might be uninteresting today.

    I think that Bill is asking for us to figure out what ARE the parameters of truly influential. For most people, there are 2-3 articles/chapters/books that were difference-makers and that's likely a most idiosyncratic process. Even if we focus on what changed the direction of the field or some subset thereof, that may not be obvious in citations or these lists. Hence the suggestion of a bibliometric approach -use co-citation analysis, etc .to assess who was influential, not just cited. 

    Bibliometrics can also help us see WHO cites that article. For a simple example, you write a paper on entrep self-efficacy and get only 3 citations... but they're all by Bandura himself. How many random cites is that worth?

    I have no idea what those would look like for venture capital or SME marketing or any of a long list. I think I can speak to cognitive & social psychology, etc. and to ecosystems & some policy issues... maybe the answer is to divide the labor... what if we could find 1 difference-maker in each topic? It could trigger some fascinating discussion about the complex set of trajectories that our field has...

    OK, #4... boring but a Delphi approach would be easy? 

    [p.s. in the spirit of full disclosure, I'll never win a Greif or Division award so that might be a bias for me... but I think this is a more important question than just a reading list and it makes me want to see if we can identify the real game-changers... and how to assess that. If anyone wants to take a whack at this, I'm happy to help - or butt out - as you wish!]

    Best Regards,

    Erik

    But, Erik... is most-cited (Greif) really a marker of what's been truly influential? Some of those clearly haven't passed the test of time.
    The ENT Div's list is pretty political - as in who deserves it versus the game-changers that Bill asked for?  Name recognition is huge in our Division's list
    Hans Landstrom had his list... none excite me at all.
    Any of this lists will reflect the preferences of those compiling and probably location (there will be a NorAm/Europe bias... I just read a killer physics paper from Hungary & a school I'd never heard - but it's going to be a huge game-changer.

    What about DeNoble's self-efficacy scale -- he never even got that paper published!

    I suggested to Bill to think about a more bibliometric approach - how did citations on a topic change before & after that article?

    A thought: You can also go to G-Scholar and look up the top 5-10 most-cited articles for JBV, ETP, ERD, etc. (I did that for the Division a couple years ago & thought those were fascinating lists, not just the usual suspects... and SEJ & SBE and you've spanned the domain pretty well.

    Another thought: A tournament. Identify 32 (or ?) contenders - then pair them off and have people pick one, then repeat as desired. Make it easy & fun. Still have a name recognition issue but we could adjust via seeding?

    At risk of sparking a long list, I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions about articles published over the past decade that are MUST READS for doctoral students.

    I look forward to your suggestions, and will compile and share the result when done.

    Thanks in advance!

  • 10.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-08-2018 20:43

     

     

    Dear All,

     

    Whether Norris ever wins a Grief or Division award is immaterial to me.

     

    I do believe, however, we should name an award after him for the coolest posts ever!

     

    And; he should be the first recipient.

     

    Ralph

    Sorry to seem cranky - the Greif & AoM ENT awards are wonderful recognition! But does the raw number of citations really matter in terms of being truly influential? It might be an indirect marker, I agree, but it doesn't tell us if it's stood the test of time. So why not look at those top 10 most-cited lists? Wouldn't that seem more inclusive? (p.s. I did offer 3 suggestions, 2 at the end of my post.) 

     

    The history of science is littered with examples that the real difference-makers that newcomers must read are rarely obvious at the time, maybe for decades later. (Einstein's critics got referenced a lot more than his relativity articles. Would he have made any of our lists in 1915?)  Of course, at least in the sciences, I suspect the prescription would be to not identify articled but people. And people who were influential back in the day might be uninteresting today.

     

    I think that Bill is asking for us to figure out what ARE the parameters of truly influential. For most people, there are 2-3 articles/chapters/books that were difference-makers and that's likely a most idiosyncratic process. Even if we focus on what changed the direction of the field or some subset thereof, that may not be obvious in citations or these lists. Hence the suggestion of a bibliometric approach -use co-citation analysis, etc .to assess who was influential, not just cited. 

     

    Bibliometrics can also help us see WHO cites that article. For a simple example, you write a paper on entrep self-efficacy and get only 3 citations... but they're all by Bandura himself. How many random cites is that worth?

     

    I have no idea what those would look like for venture capital or SME marketing or any of a long list. I think I can speak to cognitive & social psychology, etc. and to ecosystems & some policy issues... maybe the answer is to divide the labor... what if we could find 1 difference-maker in each topic? It could trigger some fascinating discussion about the complex set of trajectories that our field has...

     

    OK, #4... boring but a Delphi approach would be easy? 

     

    [p.s. in the spirit of full disclosure, I'll never win a Greif or Division award so that might be a bias for me... but I think this is a more important question than just a reading list and it makes me want to see if we can identify the real game-changers... and how to assess that. If anyone wants to take a whack at this, I'm happy to help - or butt out - as you wish!]

    Hello Norris,

    First, no matter how you define "truly influential", the fact that a Greif Research Impact Award winning article has acheived the greatest number of citations in a six year window, is a clear and objective sign that researchers are reading and using the article, which is something worth celebrating and recommending as reading to our PhD students.

    Second, I am sorry to hear that you think that the Entrepreneurship Division's Foundational Paper award list is political. Given that I have personally managed this process for the past two years, I can tell you from first hand experience that this process has been as democratic and as mathematical as a former aerospace engineer (which I am) can manage.

    To begin, any member of the Entrepreneurship Division can nominate a paper that has been published over ten years ago. Next, all of members of the entrepreneurship division's Research Committee - now 40 in total - have a chance to provide their numerical rankings of the most influential nominated articles. And based on this quantitative data, I statistically compute which article is most influential in the eyes of the committee.

    Now, while you are free to contend that these quantitative processes might not identify the articles which you define as "truly influential", these are very mechanical and quantiative processes with no room for personal or professional politics.

    That said, if you can recommend a quantiative and democratic process that is better at identifying your "truly influential" articles, please let me know and I would be happy to try it out.

    Erik

  • 11.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-09-2018 07:01

    Norris (and et al) it's always easier to identify the 'greats' ex post- doing so ex ante is the real problem. I've done some work on the issue of scholarly assessment (a couple of AMLE articles, and a forthcoming AMP that address these issues) and can say it is a field –wide problem that is not going away. Citations are an easy measure that has serious problems (see Mike Lounsbury's , Joel Baum, Jim Walsh, and David Sirmon's sections here):

    http://amp.aom.org/content/early/2017/09/29/amp.2015.0167.full.pdf+html

     

    To Erik's point (and in all transparency, I've participated) citations provide a clean and somewhat objective criteria to compare contributions. Having said that, the time is past for us to recognize other scholarly inputs in tenure evaluations (including Norris's eternal and usually optimistic contributions!).  Norris, your point about Bandura reminds me of an Israeli movie called "footnote". I think you can find it on Netflix. It covers a lot of the ground you refer to. Let's discuss it in Chicago.

     

    However, at the end of the day, we have to rely on a panel of so called 'experts' to identify the best contributions. Erik has done a formidable job in facilitating that process. Norris and others would certainly be invited or can volunteer in that activity. Yet, as with contemporary art or literature that rarely stands the test of time, we get waylaid by the 'fads and fashions' (Abrahamson, 1996) of the field (Norris: ent self-efficacy might be just another fad – along with Venture Capital, Matrix Management, Business Plans, EO, and who knows what else...).  So, while I was coincidentally fortunate enough to co-win a Grief award,  I remain highly skeptical of the significance of citations – it is yet one important indicator of influence to consider when identifying major contributions. Citing is not reading, reading is not citing.

     

    Of course, nothing that I am aware of could come near measuring the profound influence of one highly supportive and perennially positive Norris Krueger to the field of entrepreneurship. For that, we need the Norris Krueger award for best supporter, broadcaster, and overall collegial character – and yes- I agree to nominate Norris for the first award!

    Sorry to seem cranky - the Greif & AoM ENT awards are wonderful recognition! But does the raw number of citations really matter in terms of being truly influential? It might be an indirect marker, I agree, but it doesn't tell us if it's stood the test of time. So why not look at those top 10 most-cited lists? Wouldn't that seem more inclusive? (p.s. I did offer 3 suggestions, 2 at the end of my post.) 

     

    The history of science is littered with examples that the real difference-makers that newcomers must read are rarely obvious at the time, maybe for decades later. (Einstein's critics got referenced a lot more than his relativity articles. Would he have made any of our lists in 1915?)  Of course, at least in the sciences, I suspect the prescription would be to not identify articled but people. And people who were influential back in the day might be uninteresting today.

     

    I think that Bill is asking for us to figure out what ARE the parameters of truly influential. For most people, there are 2-3 articles/chapters/books that were difference-makers and that's likely a most idiosyncratic process. Even if we focus on what changed the direction of the field or some subset thereof, that may not be obvious in citations or these lists. Hence the suggestion of a bibliometric approach -use co-citation analysis, etc .to assess who was influential, not just cited. 

     

    Bibliometrics can also help us see WHO cites that article. For a simple example, you write a paper on entrep self-efficacy and get only 3 citations... but they're all by Bandura himself. How many random cites is that worth?

     

    I have no idea what those would look like for venture capital or SME marketing or any of a long list. I think I can speak to cognitive & social psychology, etc. and to ecosystems & some policy issues... maybe the answer is to divide the labor... what if we could find 1 difference-maker in each topic? It could trigger some fascinating discussion about the complex set of trajectories that our field has...

     

    OK, #4... boring but a Delphi approach would be easy? 

     

    [p.s. in the spirit of full disclosure, I'll never win a Greif or Division award so that might be a bias for me... but I think this is a more important question than just a reading list and it makes me want to see if we can identify the real game-changers... and how to assess that.

    But, Erik... is most-cited (Greif) really a marker of what's been truly influential? Some of those clearly haven't passed the test of time.
    The ENT Div's list is pretty political - as in who deserves it versus the game-changers that Bill asked for?  Name recognition is huge in our Division's list
    Hans Landstrom had his list... none excite me at all.
    Any of this lists will reflect the preferences of those compiling and probably location (there will be a NorAm/Europe bias... I just read a killer physics paper from Hungary & a school I'd never heard - but it's going to be a huge game-changer.

    What about DeNoble's self-efficacy scale -- he never even got that paper published!

    I suggested to Bill to think about a more bibliometric approach - how did citations on a topic change before & after that article?

    A thought: You can also go to G-Scholar and look up the top 5-10 most-cited articles for JBV, ETP, ERD, etc. (I did that for the Division a couple years ago & thought those were fascinating lists, not just the usual suspects... and SEJ & SBE and you've spanned the domain pretty well.

    Another thought: A tournament. Identify 32 (or ?) contenders - then pair them off and have people pick one, then repeat as desired. Make it easy & fun. Still have a name recognition issue but we could adjust via seeding?

    I would also like to see such a list, as I will be teaching a principles of ent course.  Not to step on Bill's idea but to streamline the process maybe a suggestion would be for people to provide a top five or top 10 list.  That way we would not get a lot of single articles but articulated lists

    At risk of sparking a long list, I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions about articles published over the past decade that are MUST READS for doctoral students.

    I look forward to your suggestions, and will compile and share the result when done.

    Thanks in advance!

  • 12.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-09-2018 10:25

    I certainly agree that no one is more qualified than Norris as the inaugural recipient of the Norris Krueger Award! I'm reminded of the great exchange from the (otherwise unfunny) Billy Crystal – Robin Williams movie Father's Day:

     

    Crystal: You're a tragic hero. You're Lou Gehrig.

    Williams: Who?

    Crystal: Lou Gehrig. Everybody knows Lou Gehrig. The baseball player. He died of Lou Gehrig's disease.

    Williams: Wow, what are the odds on that?

     

    On a serious note, Benson and Norris are absolutely right that bibliometric measures have strengths and weaknesses. An additional weakness is the common practice of "ritual citation," in which an author cites X as the authority on Y because everybody else cites X. (How many people in our field have actually read Schumpeter's Theory of Economic Development, Knight's Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, or Kirzner's Competition and Entrepreneurship?) This can generate a sort of citation bubble – what us old timers used to call the "George Plimpton Effect" – in which someone becomes famous for being famous. Jay Barney, for example, notes that there were several papers in the late 1980s and early 1990s that established the foundations of the resource-based view in strategy but, for idiosyncratic reasons, his 1991 JOM paper became the one that everybody cites (57,613 times as of this morning).

     

    Having said that, citations do provide some information on popularity which is at least correlated with impact or foundational contribution. More highly cited patents, for example, are more likely to represent fundamental, breakthrough ideas than those less highly cited, controlling for age and technological category. Most of us would consider bibliometric data relevant for hiring, tenure, and promotion decisions although ultimately these evaluations are based on tacit knowledge and subjective judgment.

    But, Erik... is most-cited (Greif) really a marker of what's been truly influential? Some of those clearly haven't passed the test of time.
    The ENT Div's list is pretty political - as in who deserves it versus the game-changers that Bill asked for?  Name recognition is huge in our Division's list
    Hans Landstrom had his list... none excite me at all.
    Any of this lists will reflect the preferences of those compiling and probably location (there will be a NorAm/Europe bias... I just read a killer physics paper from Hungary & a school I'd never heard - but it's going to be a huge game-changer.

    What about DeNoble's self-efficacy scale -- he never even got that paper published!

    I suggested to Bill to think about a more bibliometric approach - how did citations on a topic change before & after that article?

    A thought: You can also go to G-Scholar and look up the top 5-10 most-cited articles for JBV, ETP, ERD, etc. (I did that for the Division a couple years ago & thought those were fascinating lists, not just the usual suspects... and SEJ & SBE and you've spanned the domain pretty well.

    Another thought: A tournament. Identify 32 (or ?) contenders - then pair them off and have people pick one, then repeat as desired. Make it easy & fun. Still have a name recognition issue but we could adjust via seeding?

    At risk of sparking a long list, I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions about articles published over the past decade that are MUST READS for doctoral students.

    I look forward to your suggestions, and will compile and share the result when done.

    Thanks in advance!

  • 13.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-09-2018 12:11

    I have an idea for an experiment. 2017 was the 70th anniversary of the first entrepreneurship course, so there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 years of writing on entrepreneurship. If we limit ourselves to say, the first 30 years (1947-1977) what are the hidden gems that emerged, and how did a person decide to nominate such a paper? If there are some that emerge that people say, "Yeah, that was a good one!" and they have low citation counts, we might be able to backtrack techniques to find notable but relatively uncited papers. If no one has any, that's got to raise some question about what we're trying to look for.

    Here is one that I always thought was an early great, but has largely been ignored.  Written by a nobel prize winning Chicago economist, I think you'll find some parallels to current thinking in our field.  Perhaps one of the few economists of the time who thought out of the box of equilibrium models.

    That is a great one, Tom! GLS Shackle too. My mentor, Al Shapero had a couple. The original Kilby "Heffalumps" (a chapter?)

    Of course, we might want to look at those compendia like "Art of Science of Entrep", etc. Some chapters today are painful to read but others still speak to me.

    Greetings!

    Non-scholar, practitioner, ENTREP-L lurker here -- enjoying the spirited discussion about the impact of publications and, more broadly, the proliferation and acceptance of good ideas within the ENT community. This topic is super interesting to me.

    As an outsider who will not become an ENT scholar, my concern really lies in defining "impact" as how many people (1) know about and also (2) derived benefit from something, and how significantly? ENT is so important to our world, because it provides a runway for innovation, jobs, careers, livelihoods, communities, families, security...

    A problem with pure citation counts as a measure of impact or influence, to me, is that people who think alike think alike... So, a well-articulated piece can gain mass acceptance for reasons other than pure "impact", by virtue of its being accepted by people who understand and can think (or want to think) like the author. IE, even with outstanding ideas, very little intellectual "distance" may be traversed in gaining support and quantities of citations. Like William Wallace rousing the troops...

    Perhaps this is common knowledge for you all (or totally off base), and please forgive my naivete, but to me "influence" is the ability to not just line up the slam dunk audiences or existing believers, but additionally to traverse some "distance" and reach people who would otherwise not know or care about the topic. I'm thinking about a sociology or communications scholar who gets cited by entrepreneurship researchers, or an ENT scholar whose work reaches mainstream literature. The ability to attract and influence people "farther away" from the subject, to me, speaks of quality and impact. It tells me that an idea is activating and compelling people to get better or learn something extra, based on the gravity or promise of the concept to improve lives. In my work, putting ideas to beneficial application is my only real focus.

    So, in my mind, a bibliocentric analysis of citations that is somehow segmented, to understand the distance or reach of citations (counts) in extending layers of lesser-related audiences is interesting to me. E.g., citation counts bucketed by: ENT scholars, ENT PhD theses, Business Scholars, and outward to fields of Economics, Sociology, Technology, etc.... I do understand that each "leap" of distance may entail a translation or dilution of the concepts, and less weightiness in the impact calculation, but perhaps not inherently so. Particularly lucid or simple concepts may survive the telephone game and thus illustrate particularly efficacious impact.

    I'm humbly appreciative of the time you've invested in this message! Perhaps I'm in the wrong ballpark. I will take your collective silence as a signal to go back to my regular job and leave scholaring to the experts!

    I certainly agree that no one is more qualified than Norris as the inaugural recipient of the Norris Krueger Award! I'm reminded of the great exchange from the (otherwise unfunny) Billy Crystal – Robin Williams movie Father's Day:

     

    Crystal: You're a tragic hero. You're Lou Gehrig.

    Williams: Who?

    Crystal: Lou Gehrig. Everybody knows Lou Gehrig. The baseball player. He died of Lou Gehrig's disease.

    Williams: Wow, what are the odds on that?

     

    On a serious note, Benson and Norris are absolutely right that bibliometric measures have strengths and weaknesses. An additional weakness is the common practice of "ritual citation," in which an author cites X as the authority on Y because everybody else cites X. (How many people in our field have actually read Schumpeter's Theory of Economic Development, Knight's Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, or Kirzner's Competition and Entrepreneurship?) This can generate a sort of citation bubble – what us old timers used to call the "George Plimpton Effect" – in which someone becomes famous for being famous. Jay Barney, for example, notes that there were several papers in the late 1980s and early 1990s that established the foundations of the resource-based view in strategy but, for idiosyncratic reasons, his 1991 JOM paper became the one that everybody cites (57,613 times as of this morning).

     

    Having said that, citations do provide some information on popularity which is at least correlated with impact or foundational contribution. More highly cited patents, for example, are more likely to represent fundamental, breakthrough ideas than those less highly cited, controlling for age and technological category. Most of us would consider bibliometric data relevant for hiring, tenure, and promotion decisions although ultimately these evaluations are based on tacit knowledge and subjective judgment.

    Norris (and et al) it's always easier to identify the 'greats' ex post- doing so ex ante is the real problem. I've done some work on the issue of scholarly assessment (a couple of AMLE articles, and a forthcoming AMP that address these issues) and can say it is a field –wide problem that is not going away. Citations are an easy measure that has serious problems (see Mike Lounsbury's , Joel Baum, Jim Walsh, and David Sirmon's sections here):

    http://amp.aom.org/content/early/2017/09/29/amp.2015.0167.full.pdf+html

     

    To Erik's point (and in all transparency, I've participated) citations provide a clean and somewhat objective criteria to compare contributions. Having said that, the time is past for us to recognize other scholarly inputs in tenure evaluations (including Norris's eternal and usually optimistic contributions!).  Norris, your point about Bandura reminds me of an Israeli movie called "footnote". I think you can find it on Netflix. It covers a lot of the ground you refer to. Let's discuss it in Chicago.

     

    However, at the end of the day, we have to rely on a panel of so called 'experts' to identify the best contributions. Erik has done a formidable job in facilitating that process. Norris and others would certainly be invited or can volunteer in that activity. Yet, as with contemporary art or literature that rarely stands the test of time, we get waylaid by the 'fads and fashions' (Abrahamson, 1996) of the field (Norris: ent self-efficacy might be just another fad – along with Venture Capital, Matrix Management, Business Plans, EO, and who knows what else...).  So, while I was coincidentally fortunate enough to co-win a Grief award,  I remain highly skeptical of the significance of citations – it is yet one important indicator of influence to consider when identifying major contributions. Citing is not reading, reading is not citing.

     

    Of course, nothing that I am aware of could come near measuring the profound influence of one highly supportive and perennially positive Norris Krueger to the field of entrepreneurship. For that, we need the Norris Krueger award for best supporter, broadcaster, and overall collegial character – and yes- I agree to nominate Norris for the first award!

    Sorry to seem cranky - the Greif & AoM ENT awards are wonderful recognition! But does the raw number of citations really matter in terms of being truly influential? It might be an indirect marker, I agree, but it doesn't tell us if it's stood the test of time. So why not look at those top 10 most-cited lists? Wouldn't that seem more inclusive? (p.s. I did offer 3 suggestions, 2 at the end of my post.) 

     

    The history of science is littered with examples that the real difference-makers that newcomers must read are rarely obvious at the time, maybe for decades later. (Einstein's critics got referenced a lot more than his relativity articles. Would he have made any of our lists in 1915?)  Of course, at least in the sciences, I suspect the prescription would be to not identify articled but people. And people who were influential back in the day might be uninteresting today.

     

    I think that Bill is asking for us to figure out what ARE the parameters of truly influential. For most people, there are 2-3 articles/chapters/books that were difference-makers and that's likely a most idiosyncratic process. Even if we focus on what changed the direction of the field or some subset thereof, that may not be obvious in citations or these lists. Hence the suggestion of a bibliometric approach -use co-citation analysis, etc .to assess who was influential, not just cited. 

     

    Bibliometrics can also help us see WHO cites that article. For a simple example, you write a paper on entrep self-efficacy and get only 3 citations... but they're all by Bandura himself. How many random cites is that worth?

     

    I have no idea what those would look like for venture capital or SME marketing or any of a long list. I think I can speak to cognitive & social psychology, etc. and to ecosystems & some policy issues... maybe the answer is to divide the labor... what if we could find 1 difference-maker in each topic? It could trigger some fascinating discussion about the complex set of trajectories that our field has...

     

    OK, #4... boring but a Delphi approach would be easy? 

     

    [p.s. in the spirit of full disclosure, I'll never win a Greif or Division award so that might be a bias for me... but I think this is a more important question than just a reading list and it makes me want to see if we can identify the real game-changers... and how to assess that. If anyone wants to take a whack at this, I'm happy to help - or butt out - as you wish!]

    Hello Norris,

    First, no matter how you define "truly influential", the fact that a Greif Research Impact Award winning article has acheived the greatest number of citations in a six year window, is a clear and objective sign that researchers are reading and using the article, which is something worth celebrating and recommending as reading to our PhD students.

    Second, I am sorry to hear that you think that the Entrepreneurship Division's Foundational Paper award list is political. Given that I have personally managed this process for the past two years, I can tell you from first hand experience that this process has been as democratic and as mathematical as a former aerospace engineer (which I am) can manage.

    To begin, any member of the Entrepreneurship Division can nominate a paper that has been published over ten years ago. Next, all of members of the entrepreneurship division's Research Committee - now 40 in total - have a chance to provide their numerical rankings of the most influential nominated articles. And based on this quantitative data, I statistically compute which article is most influential in the eyes of the committee.

    Now, while you are free to contend that these quantitative processes might not identify the articles which you define as "truly influential", these are very mechanical and quantiative processes with no room for personal or professional politics.

    That said, if you can recommend a quantiative and democratic process that is better at identifying your "truly influential" articles, please let me know and I would be happy to try it out.

    Best Regards,

    Erik

    But, Erik... is most-cited (Greif) really a marker of what's been truly influential? Some of those clearly haven't passed the test of time.
    The ENT Div's list is pretty political - as in who deserves it versus the game-changers that Bill asked for?  Name recognition is huge in our Division's list
    Hans Landstrom had his list... none excite me at all.
    Any of this lists will reflect the preferences of those compiling and probably location (there will be a NorAm/Europe bias... I just read a killer physics paper from Hungary & a school I'd never heard - but it's going to be a huge game-changer.

    What about DeNoble's self-efficacy scale -- he never even got that paper published!

    I suggested to Bill to think about a more bibliometric approach - how did citations on a topic change before & after that article?

    A thought: You can also go to G-Scholar and look up the top 5-10 most-cited articles for JBV, ETP, ERD, etc. (I did that for the Division a couple years ago & thought those were fascinating lists, not just the usual suspects... and SEJ & SBE and you've spanned the domain pretty well.

    Another thought: A tournament. Identify 32 (or ?) contenders - then pair them off and have people pick one, then repeat as desired. Make it easy & fun. Still have a name recognition issue but we could adjust via seeding?

    At risk of sparking a long list, I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions about articles published over the past decade that are MUST READS for doctoral students.

    I look forward to your suggestions, and will compile and share the result when done.

  • 17.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-09-2018 19:20
    To follow on the suggestion from James (below) highlighting the importance of overcoming "intellectual distance" as a measure of an article's impact, I would encourage a doctoral seminar to read - and perhaps even to start with - a wildly popular but empirically and theoretically unsupported article, so the students understand what practitioners are already hearing. For example, a PhD seminar on motivation might begin with Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Much of it is atheoretical (I'm trying to be diplomatic here) and would prompt students to then seek the portions that are empirically valid.

    More recent candidates from our shared field of entrepreneurship would be The Lean Startup Method by Eric Reis and Business Model Generation by Alex Osterwalder. (The latter presents the Business Model Canvas.) Millions of entrepreneurs have read these books and/or using these approaches to venture conceptualization. To be relevant and helpful in advancing the field, PhD students might consider deconstructing and testing these ideas, or better yet, determining if and how these popular, practitioner-focused concepts relate to existing theories and studies in order to examine them from atop the shoulders of giants.

    Greetings!

    Non-scholar, practitioner, ENTREP-L lurker here -- enjoying the spirited discussion about the impact of publications and, more broadly, the proliferation and acceptance of good ideas within the ENT community. This topic is super interesting to me.

    As an outsider who will not become an ENT scholar, my concern really lies in defining "impact" as how many people (1) know about and also (2) derived benefit from something, and how significantly? ENT is so important to our world, because it provides a runway for innovation, jobs, careers, livelihoods, communities, families, security...

    A problem with pure citation counts as a measure of impact or influence, to me, is that people who think alike think alike... So, a well-articulated piece can gain mass acceptance for reasons other than pure "impact", by virtue of its being accepted by people who understand and can think (or want to think) like the author. IE, even with outstanding ideas, very little intellectual "distance" may be traversed in gaining support and quantities of citations. Like William Wallace rousing the troops...

    Perhaps this is common knowledge for you all (or totally off base), and please forgive my naivete, but to me "influence" is the ability to not just line up the slam dunk audiences or existing believers, but additionally to traverse some "distance" and reach people who would otherwise not know or care about the topic. I'm thinking about a sociology or communications scholar who gets cited by entrepreneurship researchers, or an ENT scholar whose work reaches mainstream literature. The ability to attract and influence people "farther away" from the subject, to me, speaks of quality and impact. It tells me that an idea is activating and compelling people to get better or learn something extra, based on the gravity or promise of the concept to improve lives. In my work, putting ideas to beneficial application is my only real focus.

    So, in my mind, a bibliocentric analysis of citations that is somehow segmented, to understand the distance or reach of citations (counts) in extending layers of lesser-related audiences is interesting to me. E.g., citation counts bucketed by: ENT scholars, ENT PhD theses, Business Scholars, and outward to fields of Economics, Sociology, Technology, etc.... I do understand that each "leap" of distance may entail a translation or dilution of the concepts, and less weightiness in the impact calculation, but perhaps not inherently so. Particularly lucid or simple concepts may survive the telephone game and thus illustrate particularly efficacious impact.

    I'm humbly appreciative of the time you've invested in this message! Perhaps I'm in the wrong ballpark. I will take your collective silence as a signal to go back to my regular job and leave scholaring to the experts!

    I certainly agree that no one is more qualified than Norris as the inaugural recipient of the Norris Krueger Award! I'm reminded of the great exchange from the (otherwise unfunny) Billy Crystal – Robin Williams movie Father's Day:

     

    Crystal: You're a tragic hero. You're Lou Gehrig.

    Williams: Who?

    Crystal: Lou Gehrig. Everybody knows Lou Gehrig. The baseball player. He died of Lou Gehrig's disease.

    Williams: Wow, what are the odds on that?

     

    On a serious note, Benson and Norris are absolutely right that bibliometric measures have strengths and weaknesses. An additional weakness is the common practice of "ritual citation," in which an author cites X as the authority on Y because everybody else cites X. (How many people in our field have actually read Schumpeter's Theory of Economic Development, Knight's Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, or Kirzner's Competition and Entrepreneurship?) This can generate a sort of citation bubble – what us old timers used to call the "George Plimpton Effect" – in which someone becomes famous for being famous. Jay Barney, for example, notes that there were several papers in the late 1980s and early 1990s that established the foundations of the resource-based view in strategy but, for idiosyncratic reasons, his 1991 JOM paper became the one that everybody cites (57,613 times as of this morning).

     

    Having said that, citations do provide some information on popularity which is at least correlated with impact or foundational contribution. More highly cited patents, for example, are more likely to represent fundamental, breakthrough ideas than those less highly cited, controlling for age and technological category. Most of us would consider bibliometric data relevant for hiring, tenure, and promotion decisions although ultimately these evaluations are based on tacit knowledge and subjective judgment.

    Norris (and et al) it's always easier to identify the 'greats' ex post- doing so ex ante is the real problem. I've done some work on the issue of scholarly assessment (a couple of AMLE articles, and a forthcoming AMP that address these issues) and can say it is a field –wide problem that is not going away. Citations are an easy measure that has serious problems (see Mike Lounsbury's , Joel Baum, Jim Walsh, and David Sirmon's sections here):

    http://amp.aom.org/content/early/2017/09/29/amp.2015.0167.full.pdf+html

     

    To Erik's point (and in all transparency, I've participated) citations provide a clean and somewhat objective criteria to compare contributions. Having said that, the time is past for us to recognize other scholarly inputs in tenure evaluations (including Norris's eternal and usually optimistic contributions!).  Norris, your point about Bandura reminds me of an Israeli movie called "footnote". I think you can find it on Netflix. It covers a lot of the ground you refer to. Let's discuss it in Chicago.

     

    However, at the end of the day, we have to rely on a panel of so called 'experts' to identify the best contributions. Erik has done a formidable job in facilitating that process. Norris and others would certainly be invited or can volunteer in that activity. Yet, as with contemporary art or literature that rarely stands the test of time, we get waylaid by the 'fads and fashions' (Abrahamson, 1996) of the field (Norris: ent self-efficacy might be just another fad – along with Venture Capital, Matrix Management, Business Plans, EO, and who knows what else...).  So, while I was coincidentally fortunate enough to co-win a Grief award,  I remain highly skeptical of the significance of citations – it is yet one important indicator of influence to consider when identifying major contributions. Citing is not reading, reading is not citing.

     

    Of course, nothing that I am aware of could come near measuring the profound influence of one highly supportive and perennially positive Norris Krueger to the field of entrepreneurship. For that, we need the Norris Krueger award for best supporter, broadcaster, and overall collegial character – and yes- I agree to nominate Norris for the first award!

For most people, there are 2-3 articles/chapters/books that were difference-makers and that's likely a most idiosyncratic process. Even if we focus on what changed the direction of the field or some subset thereof, that may not be obvious in citations or these lists. Hence the suggestion of a bibliometric approach -use co-citation analysis, etc .to assess who was influential, not just cited. 

     

    Bibliometrics can also help us see WHO cites that article. For a simple example, you write a paper on entrep self-efficacy and get only 3 citations... but they're all by Bandura himself. How many random cites is that worth?

     

    I have no idea what those would look like for venture capital or SME marketing or any of a long list. I think I can speak to cognitive & social psychology, etc. and to ecosystems & some policy issues... maybe the answer is to divide the labor... what if we could find 1 difference-maker in each topic? It could trigger some fascinating discussion about the complex set of trajectories that our field has...

     

    OK, #4... boring but a Delphi approach would be easy? 

     

    [p.s. in the spirit of full disclosure, I'll never win a Greif or Division award so that might be a bias for me... but I think this is a more important question than just a reading list and it makes me want to see if we can identify the real game-changers... and how to assess that. If anyone wants to take a whack at this, I'm happy to help - or butt out - as you wish!]

Given that I have personally managed this process for the past two years, I can tell you from first hand experience that this process has been as democratic and as mathematical as a former aerospace engineer (which I am) can manage.

    To begin, any member of the Entrepreneurship Division can nominate a paper that has been published over ten years ago. Next, all of members of the entrepreneurship division's Research Committee - now 40 in total - have a chance to provide their numerical rankings of the most influential nominated articles. And based on this quantitative data, I statistically compute which article is most influential in the eyes of the committee.

    Now, while you are free to contend that these quantitative processes might not identify the articles which you define as "truly influential", these are very mechanical and quantiative processes with no room for personal or professional politics.

    That said, if you can recommend a quantiative and democratic process that is better at identifying your "truly influential" articles, please let me know and I would be happy to try it out.

    Best Regards,

    Erik

    But, Erik... is most-cited (Greif) really a marker of what's been truly influential? Some of those clearly haven't passed the test of time.
    The ENT Div's list is pretty political - as in who deserves it versus the game-changers that Bill asked for?  Name recognition is huge in our Division's list
    Hans Landstrom had his list... none excite me at all.
    Any of this lists will reflect the preferences of those compiling and probably location (there will be a NorAm/Europe bias... I just read a killer physics paper from Hungary & a school I'd never heard - but it's going to be a huge game-changer.

    What about DeNoble's self-efficacy scale -- he never even got that paper published!

    I suggested to Bill to think about a more bibliometric approach - how did citations on a topic change before & after that article?

    A thought: You can also go to G-Scholar and look up the top 5-10 most-cited articles for JBV, ETP, ERD, etc. (I did that for the Division a couple years ago & thought those were fascinating lists, not just the usual suspects... and SEJ & SBE and you've spanned the domain pretty well.

    Another thought: A tournament. Identify 32 (or ?) contenders - then pair them off and have people pick one, then repeat as desired. Make it easy & fun. Still have a name recognition issue but we could adjust via seeding?

    At risk of sparking a long list, I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions about articles published over the past decade that are MUST READS for doctoral students.

    I look forward to your suggestions, and will compile and share the result when done.

    Thanks in advance!

  • 19.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-12-2018 15:11
    I've enjoyed this discussion.

    As a 1st year doctoral student (and former entrepreneur), I've spent a considerable amount of time looking for seminal/influential articles in order to understand both what has gone before and the current boundaries of the field. As a newbie, it is a struggle to grasp which (esp of the highly cited) articles have and have not stood the test of time. That makes this list even more useful. 

    In addition, many of the articles listed in the spreadsheet had not yet hit my RADAR, so thank you for all the contributions:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tItc4X1tU2-F8GjSDuwSWGO-Maqnwng24ZQHKf5HOEA/edit#gid=0

    It looks like there are just over 20 articles and two compendiums listed right now. I hope to see more!

    Cheers,

    I certainly agree that no one is more qualified than Norris as the inaugural recipient of the Norris Krueger Award! I'm reminded of the great exchange from the (otherwise unfunny) Billy Crystal – Robin Williams movie Father's Day:

     

    Crystal: You're a tragic hero. You're Lou Gehrig.

    Williams: Who?

    Crystal: Lou Gehrig. Everybody knows Lou Gehrig. The baseball player. He died of Lou Gehrig's disease.

    Williams: Wow, what are the odds on that?

     

    On a serious note, Benson and Norris are absolutely right that bibliometric measures have strengths and weaknesses. An additional weakness is the common practice of "ritual citation," in which an author cites X as the authority on Y because everybody else cites X. (How many people in our field have actually read Schumpeter's Theory of Economic Development, Knight's Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, or Kirzner's Competition and Entrepreneurship?) This can generate a sort of citation bubble – what us old timers used to call the "George Plimpton Effect" – in which someone becomes famous for being famous. Jay Barney, for example, notes that there were several papers in the late 1980s and early 1990s that established the foundations of the resource-based view in strategy but, for idiosyncratic reasons, his 1991 JOM paper became the one that everybody cites (57,613 times as of this morning).

     

    Having said that, citations do provide some information on popularity which is at least correlated with impact or foundational contribution. More highly cited patents, for example, are more likely to represent fundamental, breakthrough ideas than those less highly cited, controlling for age and technological category. Most of us would consider bibliometric data relevant for hiring, tenure, and promotion decisions although ultimately these evaluations are based on tacit knowledge and subjective judgment.

    Norris (and et al) it's always easier to identify the 'greats' ex post- doing so ex ante is the real problem. I've done some work on the issue of scholarly assessment (a couple of AMLE articles, and a forthcoming AMP that address these issues) and can say it is a field –wide problem that is not going away. Citations are an easy measure that has serious problems (see Mike Lounsbury's , Joel Baum, Jim Walsh, and David Sirmon's sections here):

    http://amp.aom.org/content/early/2017/09/29/amp.2015.0167.full.pdf+html

     

    To Erik's point (and in all transparency, I've participated) citations provide a clean and somewhat objective criteria to compare contributions. Having said that, the time is past for us to recognize other scholarly inputs in tenure evaluations (including Norris's eternal and usually optimistic contributions!).  Norris, your point about Bandura reminds me of an Israeli movie called "footnote". I think you can find it on Netflix. It covers a lot of the ground you refer to. Let's discuss it in Chicago.

     

    However, at the end of the day, we have to rely on a panel of so called 'experts' to identify the best contributions. Erik has done a formidable job in facilitating that process. Norris and others would certainly be invited or can volunteer in that activity. Yet, as with contemporary art or literature that rarely stands the test of time, we get waylaid by the 'fads and fashions' (Abrahamson, 1996) of the field (Norris: ent self-efficacy might be just another fad – along with Venture Capital, Matrix Management, Business Plans, EO, and who knows what else...).  So, while I was coincidentally fortunate enough to co-win a Grief award,  I remain highly skeptical of the significance of citations – it is yet one important indicator of influence to consider when identifying major contributions. Citing is not reading, reading is not citing.

     

    Of course, nothing that I am aware of could come near measuring the profound influence of one highly supportive and perennially positive Norris Krueger to the field of entrepreneurship. For that, we need the Norris Krueger award for best supporter, broadcaster, and overall collegial character – and yes- I agree to nominate Norris for the first award!

    Sorry to seem cranky - the Greif & AoM ENT awards are wonderful recognition! But does the raw number of citations really matter in terms of being truly influential? It might be an indirect marker, I agree, but it doesn't tell us if it's stood the test of time. So why not look at those top 10 most-cited lists? Wouldn't that seem more inclusive? (p.s. I did offer 3 suggestions, 2 at the end of my post.) 

     

    The history of science is littered with examples that the real difference-makers that newcomers must read are rarely obvious at the time, maybe for decades later. (Einstein's critics got referenced a lot more than his relativity articles. Would he have made any of our lists in 1915?)  Of course, at least in the sciences, I suspect the prescription would be to not identify articled but people. And people who were influential back in the day might be uninteresting today.

     

    I think that Bill is asking for us to figure out what ARE the parameters of truly influential. For most people, there are 2-3 articles/chapters/books that were difference-makers and that's likely a most idiosyncratic process. Even if we focus on what changed the direction of the field or some subset thereof, that may not be obvious in citations or these lists.

    A thought: You can also go to G-Scholar and look up the top 5-10 most-cited articles for JBV, ETP, ERD, etc. (I did that for the Division a couple years ago & thought those were fascinating lists, not just the usual suspects... and SEJ & SBE and you've spanned the domain pretty well.

    At risk of sparking a long list, I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions about articles published over the past decade that are MUST READS for doctoral students.

    I look forward to your suggestions, and will compile and share the result when done.

    Thanks in advance!

  • 20.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-09-2018 18:11
    Greetings!


    Non-scholar, practitioner, ENTREP-L lurker here -- enjoying the spirited discussion about the impact of publications and, more broadly, the proliferation and acceptance of good ideas within the ENT community. This topic is super interesting to me.


    As an outsider who will not become an ENT scholar, my concern really lies in defining "impact" as how many people (1) know about and also (2) derived benefit from something, and how significantly? ENT is so important to our world, because it provides a runway for innovation, jobs, careers, livelihoods, communities, families, security...


    A problem with pure citation counts as a measure of impact or influence, to me, is that people who think alike think alike... So, a well-articulated piece can gain mass acceptance for reasons other than pure "impact", by virtue of its being accepted by people who understand and can think (or want to think) like the author. IE, even with outstanding ideas, very little intellectual "distance" may be traversed in gaining support and quantities of citations. Like William Wallace rousing the troops...


    Perhaps this is common knowledge for you all (or totally off base), and please forgive my naivete, but to me "influence" is the ability to not just line up the slam dunk audiences or existing believers, but additionally to traverse some "distance" and reach people who would otherwise not know or care about the topic. I'm thinking about a sociology or communications scholar who gets cited by entrepreneurship researchers, or an ENT scholar whose work reaches mainstream literature. The ability to attract and influence people "farther away" from the subject, to me, speaks of quality and impact. It tells me that an idea is activating and compelling people to get better or learn something extra, based on the gravity or promise of the concept to improve lives. In my work, putting ideas to beneficial application is my only real focus.


    So, in my mind, a bibliocentric analysis of citations that is somehow segmented, to understand the distance or reach of citations (counts) among layers of lesser-related audiences is interesting to me. E.g., citation counts bucketed by: ENT scholars, ENT PhD theses, Business Scholars, and outward to fields of Economics, Sociology, Technology, etc.... I do understand that each "leap" of distance may entail a translation or dilution of the concepts, and less weightiness in the impact calculation, but perhaps not inherently so. Particularly lucid or simple concepts may survive the telephone game and thus illustrate particularly efficacious impact.


    I'm humbly appreciative of the time you've invested in this message! Perhaps I'm in the wrong ballpark. I will take your collective silence as a signal to go back to my regular job and leave scholaring to the experts!

    Norris (and et al) it's always easier to identify the 'greats' ex post- doing so ex ante is the real problem. I've done some work on the issue of scholarly assessment (a couple of AMLE articles, and a forthcoming AMP that address these issues) and can say it is a field –wide problem that is not going away. Citations are an easy measure that has serious problems (see Mike Lounsbury's , Joel Baum, Jim Walsh, and David Sirmon's sections here):

    http://amp.aom.org/content/early/2017/09/29/amp.2015.0167.full.pdf+html

     

    To Erik's point (and in all transparency, I've participated) citations provide a clean and somewhat objective criteria to compare contributions. Having said that, the time is past for us to recognize other scholarly inputs in tenure evaluations (including Norris's eternal and usually optimistic contributions!).  Norris, your point about Bandura reminds me of an Israeli movie called "footnote". I think you can find it on Netflix. It covers a lot of the ground you refer to. Let's discuss it in Chicago.

     

    However, at the end of the day, we have to rely on a panel of so called 'experts' to identify the best contributions. Erik has done a formidable job in facilitating that process. Norris and others would certainly be invited or can volunteer in that activity. Yet, as with contemporary art or literature that rarely stands the test of time, we get waylaid by the 'fads and fashions' (Abrahamson, 1996) of the field (Norris: ent self-efficacy might be just another fad – along with Venture Capital, Matrix Management, Business Plans, EO, and who knows what else...).  So, while I was coincidentally fortunate enough to co-win a Grief award,  I remain highly skeptical of the significance of citations – it is yet one important indicator of influence to consider when identifying major contributions. Citing is not reading, reading is not citing.

     

    Of course, nothing that I am aware of could come near measuring the profound influence of one highly supportive and perennially positive Norris Krueger to the field of entrepreneurship. For that, we need the Norris Krueger award for best supporter, broadcaster, and overall collegial character – and yes- I agree to nominate Norris for the first award!

    Sorry to seem cranky - the Greif & AoM ENT awards are wonderful recognition! But does the raw number of citations really matter in terms of being truly influential? It might be an indirect marker, I agree, but it doesn't tell us if it's stood the test of time. So why not look at those top 10 most-cited lists? Wouldn't that seem more inclusive? (p.s. I did offer 3 suggestions, 2 at the end of my post.) 

     

    The history of science is littered with examples that the real difference-makers that newcomers must read are rarely obvious at the time, maybe for decades later. (Einstein's critics got referenced a lot more than his relativity articles. Would he have made any of our lists in 1915?)  Of course, at least in the sciences, I suspect the prescription would be to not identify articled but people. And people who were influential back in the day might be uninteresting today.

     

    I think that Bill is asking for us to figure out what ARE the parameters of truly influential. For most people, there are 2-3 articles/chapters/books that were difference-makers and that's likely a most idiosyncratic process. Even if we focus on what changed the direction of the field or some subset thereof, that may not be obvious in citations or these lists. Hence the suggestion of a bibliometric approach -use co-citation analysis, etc .to assess who was influential, not just cited. 

     

    Bibliometrics can also help us see WHO cites that article. For a simple example, you write a paper on entrep self-efficacy and get only 3 citations... but they're all by Bandura himself. How many random cites is that worth?

     

    I have no idea what those would look like for venture capital or SME marketing or any of a long list. I think I can speak to cognitive & social psychology, etc. and to ecosystems & some policy issues... maybe the answer is to divide the labor... what if we could find 1 difference-maker in each topic? It could trigger some fascinating discussion about the complex set of trajectories that our field has...

     

    OK, #4... boring but a Delphi approach would be easy? 

     

    [p.s. in the spirit of full disclosure, I'll never win a Greif or Division award so that might be a bias for me... but I think this is a more important question than just a reading list and it makes me want to see if we can identify the real game-changers... and how to assess that. If anyone wants to take a whack at this, I'm happy to help - or butt out - as you wish!]

    Hello Norris,

    First, no matter how you define "truly influential", the fact that a Greif Research Impact Award winning article has acheived the greatest number of citations in a six year window, is a clear and objective sign that researchers are reading and using the article, which is something worth celebrating and recommending as reading to our PhD students.

    Second, I am sorry to hear that you think that the Entrepreneurship Division's Foundational Paper award list is political. Given that I have personally managed this process for the past two years, I can tell you from first hand experience that this process has been as democratic and as mathematical as a former aerospace engineer (which I am) can manage.

    To begin, any member of the Entrepreneurship Division can nominate a paper that has been published over ten years ago. Next, all of members of the entrepreneurship division's Research Committee - now 40 in total - have a chance to provide their numerical rankings of the most influential nominated articles. And based on this quantitative data, I statistically compute which article is most influential in the eyes of the committee.

    Now, while you are free to contend that these quantitative processes might not identify the articles which you define as "truly influential", these are very mechanical and quantiative processes with no room for personal or professional politics.

    That said, if you can recommend a quantiative and democratic process that is better at identifying your "truly influential" articles, please let me know and I would be happy to try it out.

    Best Regards,

    Erik

    But, Erik... is most-cited (Greif) really a marker of what's been truly influential? Some of those clearly haven't passed the test of time.
    The ENT Div's list is pretty political - as in who deserves it versus the game-changers that Bill asked for?  Name recognition is huge in our Division's list
    Hans Landstrom had his list... none excite me at all.
    Any of this lists will reflect the preferences of those compiling and probably location (there will be a NorAm/Europe bias... I just read a killer physics paper from Hungary & a school I'd never heard - but it's going to be a huge game-changer.

    What about DeNoble's self-efficacy scale -- he never even got that paper published!

    I suggested to Bill to think about a more bibliometric approach - how did citations on a topic change before & after that article?

    A thought: You can also go to G-Scholar and look up the top 5-10 most-cited articles for JBV, ETP, ERD, etc. (I did that for the Division a couple years ago & thought those were fascinating lists, not just the usual suspects... and SEJ & SBE and you've spanned the domain pretty well.

    Another thought: A tournament. Identify 32 (or ?) contenders - then pair them off and have people pick one, then repeat as desired. Make it easy & fun. Still have a name recognition issue but we could adjust via seeding?

    Subject: [ENTREP] Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    At risk of sparking a long list, I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions about articles published over the past decade that are MUST READS for doctoral students.

    I look forward to your suggestions, and will compile and share the result when done.

    Thanks in advance!

  • 21.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-10-2018 01:17
    James - if you want to be one of us, quit making sense and being nice! LOL
    Seriously, you do see the issues. So post more, ok?

    You're right: What if impact is in another domain? It could be a
    game-changer there - assessing that is tough. I remember [old age
    alert] flying to AoM and reading the Economist & seeing them reference
    Busenitz & Barney, How cool was that? Lowell was happy but I was
    stunned at how underwhelmed most were. Seeing a top education journal
    cite Ron Mitchell's great script cue work was cool too, but again most
    ENT folks were unexcited.

    Maybe the answer is to celebrate whenever what we do helps? Not sure
    how to rigorously assess it but maybe Chihmao's tool could help?

    And what if it's (gasp) not an academic impact? I worked with a PhD
    student whose first pub was... The Congressional Record (USA). My
    Congressman still remembers it, But zero points for tenure, LOL.

    OK, maybe time to get back to Bill S's original query? Jerry Katz, as
    always, had a great idea but maybe some of the really cool stuff need
    not be in management journals. My mentor, Al Shapero, made his bones
    in Psychology Today -I met the editor years later & he hugged me, just
    for knowing Al. Now we see Johan Wiklund write a killer piece in PT..
    more people will have read that piece than probably all our journals
    combined. (It helps that it's good, of course, though as a
    neurodiverse-ish guy I'm likely biased? :)

    There is much to discuss (ok, argue about) here - maybe this could be
    a theme for one of those AoM Specialized Conferences? We can't be the
    only domain that wrestles with this. And I suspect adding a global
    dimension would "spice" it up even more?

  • 22.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-10-2018 11:22
    Norris and everyone else

    I have been observing this dialog from the sidelines and enjoying every bit of it. Some great ideas are emerging!

    As it turns out, Norris is going to be one of our featured keynote speakers at the California Entrepreneurship Educators Conference in San Diego in April. http://lavincenter.sdsu.edu/programs/Entrepreneurship-Conference/

    Perhaps, some of this dialog and ideas can spill over into Norris' opening remarks. Yes, we have asked Norris to deliver our opening keynote!  Should be fun!

    Norris, lets discuss next week after USASBE.

    James - if you want to be one of us, quit making sense and being nice! LOL
    Seriously, you do see the issues. So post more, ok?

    You're right: What if impact is in another domain? It could be a
    game-changer there - assessing that is tough. I remember [old age
    alert] flying to AoM and reading the Economist & seeing them reference
    Busenitz & Barney, How cool was that? Lowell was happy but I was
    stunned at how underwhelmed most were. Seeing a top education journal
    cite Ron Mitchell's great script cue work was cool too, but again most
    ENT folks were unexcited.

    Maybe the answer is to celebrate whenever what we do helps? Not sure
    how to rigorously assess it but maybe Chihmao's tool could help?

    And what if it's (gasp) not an academic impact? I worked with a PhD
    student whose first pub was... The Congressional Record (USA). My
    Congressman still remembers it, But zero points for tenure, LOL.

    OK, maybe time to get back to Bill S's original query? Jerry Katz, as
    always, had a great idea but maybe some of the really cool stuff need
    not be in management journals. My mentor, Al Shapero, made his bones
    in Psychology Today -I met the editor years later & he hugged me, just
    for knowing Al.  Now we see Johan Wiklund write a killer piece in PT..
    more people will have read that piece than probably all our journals
    combined. (It helps that it's good, of course, though as a
    neurodiverse-ish guy I'm likely biased? :)

    There is much to discuss (ok, argue about) here - maybe this could be
    a theme for one of those AoM Specialized Conferences? We can't be the
    only domain that wrestles with this. And I suspect adding a global
    dimension would "spice" it up even more?

    Norris and everyone else

    I have been observing this dialog from the sidelines and enjoying every bit of it. Some great ideas are emerging!

    As it turns out, Norris is going to be one of our featured keynote speakers at the California Entrepreneurship Educators Conference in San Diego in April. http://lavincenter.sdsu.edu/programs/Entrepreneurship-Conference/

    Perhaps, some of this dialog and ideas can spill over into Norris' opening remarks. Yes, we have asked Norris to deliver our opening keynote!  Should be fun!

    Norris, lets discuss next week after USASBE.

    James - if you want to be one of us, quit making sense and being nice! LOL
    Seriously, you do see the issues. So post more, ok?

    You're right: What if impact is in another domain? It could be a
    game-changer there - assessing that is tough. I remember [old age
    alert] flying to AoM and reading the Economist & seeing them reference
    Busenitz & Barney, How cool was that? Lowell was happy but I was
    stunned at how underwhelmed most were. Seeing a top education journal
    cite Ron Mitchell's great script cue work was cool too, but again most
    ENT folks were unexcited.

    Maybe the answer is to celebrate whenever what we do helps? Not sure
    how to rigorously assess it but maybe Chihmao's tool could help?

    And what if it's (gasp) not an academic impact? I worked with a PhD
    student whose first pub was... The Congressional Record (USA). My
    Congressman still remembers it, But zero points for tenure, LOL.

    OK, maybe time to get back to Bill S's original query? Jerry Katz, as
    always, had a great idea but maybe some of the really cool stuff need
    not be in management journals. My mentor, Al Shapero, made his bones
    in Psychology Today -I met the editor years later & he hugged me, just
    for knowing Al.  Now we see Johan Wiklund write a killer piece in PT..
    more people will have read that piece than probably all our journals
    combined. (It helps that it's good, of course, though as a
    neurodiverse-ish guy I'm likely biased? :)

    There is much to discuss (ok, argue about) here - maybe this could be
    a theme for one of those AoM Specialized Conferences? We can't be the
    only domain that wrestles with this. And I suspect adding a global
    dimension would "spice" it up even more?

  • 24.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-03-2018 22:42
    Bill,

    You may want to look at the 13 articles covered in Javadian et al's new edited book Foundational Articles in Entrepreneurship. The 13 articles covered in this book, across 11 chapters, are considered 'classics' in the field of entrepreneurship research. The classics are only articles published before 2000. It includes such classics as Covin and Slevin's (1989) and Lumpkin and Dess' (1996) work on entrepreneurial orientation, and Krueger's work on entrepreneurial intentions (just to name a few).

    Best,

    Vishal

    I would also suggest the following, on the theory that these summarize research that received Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research: 

    Shane, S. (2009). Why encouraging more people to become entrepreneurs is bad public policy. Small business economics33(2), 141-149.

    Bill,

    You may want to look at the 13 articles covered in Javadian et al's new edited book Foundational Articles in Entrepreneurship. The 13 articles covered in this book, across 11 chapters, are considered 'classics' in the field of entrepreneurship research. The classics are only articles published before 2000. It includes such classics as Covin and Slevin's (1989) and Lumpkin and Dess' (1996) work on entrepreneurial orientation, and Krueger's work on entrepreneurial intentions (just to name a few).

    Best,

    Not quite an article, and not quite the last decade, but I would add a chapter or two of Von Mises´ Human Action (1948, 1998), which is not studied enough in our discipline, unfortunately.

  • 28.  Must Reads from the Past Decade for PhD Seminar

    Posted 01-05-2018 11:34

    Thank you for your suggestions. The classics are clearly important and distilling those into a compact but thorough reading list is challenging.

     

    For me, however, the pressing need is to identify the "must reads" from the past decade or so. For example, it is clear that Alvarez and Barney (2007) and Cardon et al (2009) have moved the needle in terms of discourse and research trajectories in entrepreneurship, and Gomez-Mejia et al (2007) had a similar impact on family business research. My guess is that many would agree that those articles merit attention in PhD seminars.

     

    But over that period, social entrepreneurship has emerged as an important topic, entrepreneurial finance has been transformed, the business model concept has entered the lexicon, and a raft of new methodologies have been pioneered for launching startups. There have also been theoretical advances that merit attention (e.g., the theory of the firm has gained renewed relevance (or perhaps irrelevance?) in the age of Google and the Amazon Marketplace) and big data offers a myriad of opportunities and challenges. And who knows how all this will be changed by A.I. and IoT ...

     

    I'd love to hear about the recent articles that have shaped your thinking about these topics, as well as those that you think challenged or materially elaborated established perspectives. It would also be great to learn about the topics or issues that you think the next generation of entrepreneurship scholars need to be prepared to study.

     

    I look forward to your replies.

    Dear Bill:

    This is in an interesting question. Back in 2014 I did a little survey on exactly this question and collected responses from 477 colleagues.

    The study is called "Essential readings in entrepreneurship" and was never formally published. But the results can be accessed on my website:

    https://entrepreneurship.uni-hohenheim.de/en/essential-readings-englisch

    The design of the website is a little bit odd - just click on the tab "Teaching" and you will see 14 different bibliographies for 14 main topical areas in entrepreneurship.

    All

     

    From the social entrepreneurship literature, I would recommend this one by Filipe Santos:

     

    Santos, F. 2012.  A positive theory of social entrepreneurship. Journal of Business Ethics 111: 335-351.

     

    While there is plenty to contest in this work, it frames the discussion in a systematic way that invites great discussions around the economic vs. social issues surrounding social entrepreneurship.

    Jerry and All,

     

    Here is one that I always thought was an early great, but has largely been ignored.  Written by a nobel prize winning Chicago economist, I think you'll find some parallels to current thinking in our field.  Perhaps one of the few economists of the time who thought out of the box of equilibrium models.

     

    Schultz, Theodore W., The Value of the Ability to Deal with Disequilibria (1975). Journal of Economic Literature, Vol. 13, Issue 3, p. 827-846 1975. Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=1506764

    I have an idea for an experiment. 2017 was the 70th anniversary of the first entrepreneurship course, so there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 years of writing on entrepreneurship. If we limit ourselves to say, the first 30 years (1947-1977) what are the hidden gems that emerged, and how did a person decide to nominate such a paper? If there are some that emerge that people say, "Yeah, that was a good one!" and they have low citation counts, we might be able to backtrack techniques to find notable but relatively uncited papers. If no one has any, that's got to raise some question about what we're trying to look for.
