Our objective in this chapter is to illustrate how entrepreneurs’ brains are physiologically the same as any other person’s brain, but in terms of experiences and knowledge they are different. Using neurophysiology and relevant concepts from neuroscience, we map the physiological processes involved in transmitting visual data from the periphery (en...
We advance entrepreneurial-opportunity research (Shane & Venkataraman, 2000) by distinguishing between the external world of episodic experiences + environmental processes, and three levels of abstraction in the human brain: neural coding, percepts-episodic memory and concepts-semantic memory. Percepts (part visual imagery) enable the entrepreneur...

Many prescriptions offered in the literature for enhancing creativity and innovation in organizations raise ethical concerns,
yet creativity researchers rarely discuss ethics. We identify four categories of behavior proffered as a means for fostering
creativity that raise serious ethical issues: (1) breaking rules and standard operating procedures;...
Longer-term performance effects of corporate illegality were investigated. Results show that firms experience lower accounting returns over five years and slower sales growth in the third through fifth year after a conviction. Stakeholders appear to paint all corporate wrongdoers with the same brush, ignoring the seriousness of illegalities, but re...
We examine opportunism and participative communication in franchise structures, the most ubiquitous and fastest-growing form of cooperative arrangements among entrepreneurs. Our model links opportunism directly to franchise system performance and franchisee satisfaction; participative communication acts as a quasimoderator variable, directly impact...
Entrepreneurs enter into cooperative arrangements such as franchise systems (Baucus, Baucus and Human 1993; Norton 1988), network partnerships (Larson 1991, 1992), and constellations of firms (Shepherd 1991) to gain a competitive advantage over rivals (Baird, Lyles and Orris 1992; Larson 1992). They expect to reduce production and inventory costs,...
We use open-ended interviews and focus groups to construct a composite model of activities constituting the entrepreneurial process for seven retirees from a Fortune 100 corporation who started second-career businesses. Our results show that retirees’ prior employment experience modifies the nature of entrepreneurial processes used to get into busi...
We show that the risk-return paradox can be partly explained by the choice of accounting risk and return measures. Returns computed with equity or assets from End-of-Period (EOP) annual reports produce negative risk-return associations, while measures calculated using Beginning-of-Period (BOP) equity or assets yield more positive relationships. The...
The interpretive perspective of strategic issues is extended by describing performance information and noise. A connection is made with the conventional perspective by recognizing that strategies, structure, and institutions impact performance information and noise. Then strategic issues and strategic issue management systems are linked to the qual...
Organizational adaptation to performance downturns has prompted numerous studies. Although these studies have focused on organizational or decision makers' characteristics influencing adaptation, neither the adaptation process nor where in the process these influences operate has been detailed. A conceptual framework for understanding adaptation to...
About seven years ago, technological innovation gave rise to the e-learning industry and the growth of corporate universities. Early in the evolution of the industry, corporate universities represented a reasonable deployment of learning technologies. They enabled companies to deliver the right content to target markets (e.g., employees, partners,...
