PublicationThe Effect of Business Planning Education on Causation and Effectuation Practices in a Cross-Country SettingEffectuation has been suggested as an appropriate decision-strategy in uncertain environments such as firm creation. However, the influence of business planning courses and workshops on effectuation and causation behaviors has not been studied systematically yet. We test the influ-ence of participating in business planning courses and business planning workshops/competitions on the use of effectuation and causation processes in new venture creation. Also, we analyze the effect of the cultural context, specifically, the national level of uncertainty avoidance. Using a sample of entrepreneurs from 17 countries from the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Stu-dents' Survey (GUESSS) we are able to show that participating in business planning courses fos-ters both, the use of causation as well as some effectuation processes. Unexpectedly, uncertainty avoidance has a direct negative influence on the application of causation and experimentation practices in new firm creation.Type: conference paper

PublicationEntrepreneurship 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

PublicationGeneration Impact : Student Preferences to Start Social or Traditional Ventures(United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship, 2010-01-14)Neck, HeidiThis paper introduces a classification scheme of reasons for preferring social versus traditional entrepreneurship. Our research uncovers significant drivers of social and traditional start-up entrepreneurship and contributes on two levels. First, we offer empirical evidence that the two types of entrepreneurship are clearly differentiated by motivation to act. Second, we initiate a discourse on social entrepreneurship education and suggest that entrepreneurship education, in general, is disconnected from the current student generation's need for making a social impact, acting according to personal values, and balancing social and economic aspects of business.Type: conference paper

PublicationStairway to Heaven or Highway to Hell? The Use of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Data in Academic ResearchIn 1998 Babson College and London Business School initiated the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) program to increase our understanding of the role of entrepreneurship in national economic growth. GEM is now the largest single study of entrepreneurial activity in the world. In view of the 10th anniversary of the GEM project we seek to understand how the "heavenly" possibilities for entrepreneurship research are currently used in the academic world. With a thorough analysis of empirical academic papers using GEM data the paper aims to provide insights and recommendations about the future usage of the data.Type: conference paper

PublicationStairway to Heaven or Highway to Hell? The Use of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Data in Academic Research( 2009-06-22)Schrettle, ThomasWith over one million data sets datasets collected over a period of ten years the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) project is the world's largest database for entrepreneurship research. Our paper analyzes how GEM data is currently used in academic empirical research, what kind of research methods are being used, and how future studies could use the GEM database to its full potential in terms of variables, methods and fields of application.Type: conference paper
