the studENT - An AI wrote this post

(posted on behalf of @Andrew Nixon , PhD Student Representative & GPT-3, OpenAI) ​ I spend a good amount of time on Twitter and my feed has recently been captivated by weird AI-generated images from DALL-E mini by Hugging Face . It’s an open-source model that people have been using to make a computer draw odd scenarios like “ A chicken nugget smoking a cigarette in the rain ” or “ Youtuber doing a funeral unboxing ”. These have been relatively harmless demonstrations of how advanced AI systems have become at making art and as this is open-source technology, you can rest assured that the proprietary systems are much, much better. For example, DALLE-2 ...

Research Highlights: How do we replicate entrepreneurship research?

By Wei-Jun Hsueh posted 06-29-2022

(posted on behalf of @Aviel Cogan and @Tobias Pret ) It is widely acknowledged that we are experiencing a “replication crisis.” As research results are often difficult or impossible to replicate, the credibility of scientific work has been questioned. Entrepreneurship scholars have long acknowledged the importance of replication studies, but these rarely appear in top journals. Consequently, scholars largely avoid replicating entrepreneurship research to the detriment of our field’s ability to test, confirm, and challenge extant theories. In an effort to encourage and facilitate replication studies, @Christopher Crawford and colleagues published an ...

the studENT - Scholars care about antitrust reform?

(posted on behalf of @Andrew Nixon , PhD Representative) ​ Okay, I’ll admit it, if I have a bent in this blog series, it has been to highlight the shift in policy towards a more progressive version of antitrust enforcement (or competition policy for those outside of the U.S.) and how these issues are relevant for our field. I will say this one last piece and then get back to writing the generic posts with tips and tricks for PhD students and interviews with faculty. So, here are three reasons I think this is a fruitful area of exploration for entrepreneurship scholars: 1) Entrepreneurs themselves are openly saying that something is ...

Research Highlights: How can entrepreneurs manage hype?

By Wei-Jun Hsueh posted 05-18-2022
Be the first person to like this.
(posted on behalf of @Tobias Pret and @Aviel Cogan ) ​ Entrepreneurs who operate in nascent markets are often faced with a lack of support. One way to arouse interest in and enthusiasm for a new venture within those markets is to pitch the idea in ways that explicitly tie the venture to emerging hype about the nascent market—a collective vision and promise for the market’s future. In so doing, hype can serve as a means to generate early access to resources and other forms of support from stakeholders. However, the more entrepreneurs link their new ventures to such emerging hype, the greater the risk that they will face heightened expectations which ...

Translating knowledge (posted on behalf of @Andrew Nixon , PhD Representative) In my interview with Donato Cutolo and Professor Martin Kenney ( read it here ), we kept returning to the role of antitrust regulation in improving the competition landscape for the benefit of entrepreneurs. The past few years have seen a marked increase in policy conversations on competition law (what is typically referred to as antitrust in the U.S.), as a progressive, anti-monopolist perspective has gained traction in both America and Europe. This school of thought pushes back against what has been the dominant paradigm of regulations and judicial rulings that ...

Research Highlights: The dark side of entrepreneurship

By Wei-Jun Hsueh posted 03-07-2022

The dark side of entrepreneurship (posted on behalf of @Aviel Cogan and @Tobias Pret ) Entrepreneurship is usually associated with the creation of economic and social wealth, but it can also have negative effects, such as the pollution of the environment and damage to local communities. Thus far, research has largely overlooked this dark side of entrepreneurship. Indeed, little is known about the reasons entrepreneurs might engage in actions that can lead to destructive outcomes. Dean Shepherd, Moses Osofero, and Joakim Wincent address this subject in their recent Journal of Business Venturing article titled “A personal adversity model of justifying ...

Research Highlights: When equity crowdfunding becomes more than a last resort for entrepreneurs

When equity crowdfunding becomes more than a last resort for entrepreneurs By @Tobias Pret and @Aviel Cogan Raising capital is a challenging process for most entrepreneurs, leading some to pursue equity crowdfunding. While it has been regarded as a last resort in prior literature, recent research shows that some highly capable entrepreneurs prefer to seek equity crowdfunding, even when more established options, such as angel investments or venture capital, are available to them. Prior studies that explore equity crowdfunding have predominantly focused on the decision-making of potential investors, rather than the role of the entrepreneur, in initiating ...

Donato is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Management at the University of Bologna and Martin is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Human Ecology at the University of California, Davis.

Research Highlights: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to help with Literature Reviews

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to help with Literature Reviews posted on behalf of @Aviel Cogan and @Tobias Pret Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are hot topics. Entrepreneurs, politicians, and scholars alike draw on these concepts to envision future opportunities that can be made possible through technological advances. At the same time, they also incite fear in those whose jobs may ultimately be automated because of such changes. As educators and researchers, we may believe that our positions are largely shielded from such developments (despite recent advances in neural interface technology which could, one day, ...

Research Highlights: Returning to work from maternity leave in SMEs

Returning to work from maternity leave in SMEs Posted on behalf of @Tobias Pret and @Aviel Cogan Managing people is a crucial activity that most entrepreneurs engage in on an everyday basis. Yet, entrepreneurship research has paid surprisingly little attention to the subject of employment relations. Maternity leave, in particular, and woman’s return to work have been largely overlooked. While most countries grant rights to protect pregnant women, too many small employers still consider maternity leave an annoyance. Consequently, to fit in with the norms and ideals of masculine cultures, women are often forced to conceal pregnancy symptoms, and ...

Alongside a team of colleagues, I am undertaking a meta-analysis of social cognitive factors in entrepreneurial career success. We are currently searching for studies that: Focus on business founders/owners of profit-making businesses (inclusive of social enterprises); Measure two or more of the following variables (each variable is broadly defined): entrepreneurial success, self-efficacy, goals, and outcome expectations. If you know of such a study that we might not have readily found through traditional search methods (e.g., studies under development, non-published studies, studies in journals/venues/conferences that are not always obvious/accessible) ...
