PublicationFrom entrepreneurial experience to expertise: A self-regulated learning perspectiveEntrepreneurial experience alone may not necessarily guarantee venture success. Some entrepreneurs develop into experts through learning from their experiences, whereas others fail to do so. To explain the missing link between experience and expertise, we introduce a social-cognitive model of self-regulated entrepreneurial learning (SREL) to demonstrate how entrepreneurial expertise can be systematically developed to increase the probability of entrepreneurial success. We identify key self-regulatory learning processes essential to entrepreneurial learning by developing propositions and related practice-oriented applications of the SREL model for entrepreneurs.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Small Business Management

PublicationExperiential or Self-Regulated Learning: A Critical Reflection of Entrepreneurial Learning ProcessesResearch on entrepreneurial learning highlights the importance of experience and prior knowledge to entrepreneurial success. However, a conundrum remains and we are still seeking answers as to why some novice entrepreneurs learn successfully from their experiences and succeed, while some experienced entrepreneurs fail with their ventures. In order to advance the discussion about the role of experience during entrepreneurial learning, our critical reflection aims to (1) highlight some of the shortcomings of experiential learning theory (ELT) and (2) illustrate how alternative theoretical perspectives have the potential to advance our conceptual understanding of entrepreneurial learning processes. We argue for an explanation of entrepreneurial learning as a dynamic and self-regulated process that relies on planning, monitoring, and self-reflection.Type: journal articleJournal: Entrepreneurship research journal : ERJVolume: 8Issue: 2

PublicationExploration and Exploitation in Established Small and Medium-sized Enterprises: The Effect of CEOs' Regulatory Focus(Elsevier Science Publ., 2015-07-01)Based on theory of regulatory focus and organizational ambidexterity, we hypothesize that the level of engagement in exploration and exploitation in a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) is affected by the respective CEO's chronic regulatory focus. In our analysis of survey responses from CEOs in Switzerland, we find that the CEO's level of promotion focus positively affects the firm's engagement in both, exploration and exploitation, while the CEO's prevention focus is negatively associated with the firm's exploration but not significantly related to its exploitation. The positive associations between a CEO's promotion focus and the firm's exploration/exploitation activities are enhanced under conditions of intense competition.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Business VenturingVolume: 30Issue: 4

PublicationTeaching Entrepreneurs How to Self-Regulate Their Learning to Better Deal With Uncertainty( 2021-06-11)Winkler, ChristophEntrepreneurs constantly need to take accurate decisions based on incomplete or inconsistent information due to high uncertainty in novel situations. So far, research has predominantly conceptualized learning in entrepreneurial contexts as a trial-and-error process that successively leads to high expertise. However, entrepreneurs are often confronted with novel situations and problems where prior knowledge is not applicable and where they need to learn beyond their preexisting knowledge. Building on Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory we introduce the concept of self-regulated entrepreneurial learning (SREL). This form of higher-order learning accounts for behavioral, social, and motivational influences of learning and enables entrepreneurs to better deal with uncertainty. Following a design-based research approach we develop a concrete course design to teach SREL to entrepreneurs. Thus, we not only introduce self-regulated learning as a useful approach in entrepreneurship education but also develop a concrete SREL course for entrepreneurs.Type: conference paper

PublicationCognitive Biases and Strategic Decision-Making: A Self-Regulation Perspective( 2021)
;Winkler, ChristophEntrepreneurs are prone to various cognitive biases which distort their learning and information processing. These biases vary considerably among entrepreneurs and impact information processing during strategic decision-making. While research has examined the outcomes of cognitive biases, there is a lack of knowledge on how cognitive biases impact entrepreneurial decision-making processes. To address this gap, we analyze how cognitive biases impact information processing during decision-making processes. Furthermore, we discuss how entrepreneurs can self-regulate the effects of overconfidence and attribution bias in more detail. We discern functions of cognitive biases across different entrepreneurial situations and suggest that entrepreneurs with high self-regulation are able to adapt to specific situations by monitoring and controlling their cognition and affect.Type: conference paper -
