Item type:Publication, Entrepreneur ambidexterity: A study of entrepreneur behaviours and competencies in growth-oriented small and medium-sized enterprisesThis article uses the sociological method of structured observation to explore the every day behaviour of entrepreneurs from an exploration-exploitation perspective. Six entrepreneurs leading successful growth-oriented businesses were observed for a four-day period and 2305 ‘units of action' performed by the entrepreneurs were recorded. Six behavioural patterns that allowed them, their management team or the organisation as a whole to pursue ambidexterity were identified. In contrast with the existing high-level approaches of ambidexterity, this study provides a synthesis of entrepreneur behaviours and competencies to achieve ambidexterity at the operating level.Type:journal articleJournal:International Small Business JournalVolume:33Issue:2Scopus© Citations 170 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Entrepreneurship Education: A Systematic Review of Impact Studies and Applied MethodologiesThe majority of studies that analyze the impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial attitudes, intentions, and venture activities report positive influences. However, several scholars have recently cast doubts about research methods and the generalizability of entrepreneurship education impact studies. In this study, we conducted a systematic literature review of the methods used in entrepreneurship education impact studies. Our results uncover significant methodological deficiencies and question the overwhelmingly positive impact of entrepreneurship education. Based on this evidence, we propose a series of recommendations to improve the reliability and validity of entrepreneurship education impact studies and we outline promising topics which are currently under-researched.Type:journal articleJournal:Journal of Enterprising CultureVolume:21Issue:2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, What Do Entrepreneurs Actually Do? : An Observational Study of Entrepreneurs' Everyday Behavior in the Start-Up and Growth StagesIn this study, we used the sociological method of structured observation to investigate the everyday behavior of six entrepreneurs in the start-up stage and six entrepreneurs in the growth stage. Our results suggest the existence of both commonalities and differences between these two stages with regard to activities, functions, exploration vs. exploitation, and communication. Building on these detailed observations, we develop a taxonomy specifying the constitutive elements of entrepreneurs' behavior on a continuum that spans from single, discrete actions of entrepreneurs to actions concerning the broader organization.Type:journal articleJournal:Entrepreneurship Theory and PracticeVolume:36Issue:5Scopus© Citations 139 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Entrepreneurship Education : A Meta Analysis of Impact Studies and Applied MethodologiesPast impact studies have univocally reported a positive impact of entrepreneurship education. Only recently have some authors cast doubts about the research methods and generalizability of entrepreneurship education impact studies. This study contributes to the field by analyzing the underlying research methodologies of impact studies using a meta-analysis approach. Our results indicate significant methodological deficiencies and question the mostly universal assessment of entrepreneurship education as having a positive impact. Based on this evidence we propose a series of recommendations to improve the reliability and validity of future impact studies.Type:conference paper - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
