Abstract

The article has been retracted.

The limitations of retraction notices and the heroic acts of authors who correct the scholarly record: An analysis of retractions of papers published from 1975 to 2019

“…We can compare this retraction note with a random one from our sample: ‘The article has been retracted’, is the only available information from the paper titled ‘Understanding the antecedents to an entrepreneurial firm's intent to engage in international strategic alliances’ published in the Journal of Enterprising Culture by Geh (), or ‘ The International Journal of Modern Physics E has retracted the above‐quoted article from its publication due to incorrect results’ of an article by Pouya and Rajabi (). It is clear that the retraction notice by Qiu et al .…”

Micro-foundations of small business internationalization: introduction to the Special Section

“…This lack of attention to the individual level does not only contradict general small business and entrepreneurship literature (Shepherd, 2011), but also ignores SME internationalization research (Oviatt and McDougall, 2005) where it is argued that the manager / owner is in the centre of the entrepreneurial decision-making process (Bruneel and De Cock, 2016;Peschken et al, 2016). Given that motivational dispositions and specifically deep-rooted implicit needs energize individuals and predict stable, long-term behaviour (Schultheiss and Brunstein, 2010;Slabbinck et al, 2018) In sum, even though the body of knowledge on the pre-internationalization phase thus shows that individual aspects such as risk perception (e.g., Acedo and Jones, 2007;Shrader et al, 2000), higher education levels (e.g., Amorós et al, 2016) or international experience (Child and Hsieh, 2014) impact the decision to internationalize and its timing, the specificities on the impact of such individual aspects in specific sub-domains are under-researched (e.g., Bruneel and De Cock, 2016) and the number of studies on deeper-level psychological and behavioural aspects is still surprisingly low (Acedo and Florin, 2006;Geh, 2010;Peschken et al, 2016).…”

Executive antecedents of interfirm cooperation

“…The importance of cooperation is widely acknowledged throughout the history of mankind, including in business practice and research (Geh, 2010;Rezazadeh & Nobari, 2017;Smith, Carroll, & Ashford, 1995). Yet cooperation as an interfirm relationship mechanism entered into the focus of organization research only in the 1970s and 1980s following the seminal studies of Schermerhorn (1975), Axelrod (1984), Granovetter (1985), and Oliver (1990), among others, and became one of the most widely researched topics in organizational research (Dacin, Oliver, & Roy, 2007;Lo & Hung, 2015;Smith et al, 1995;Todeva & Knoke, 2005;Parkhe, Wasserman, & Ralston, 2006) because interfirm relationships are conceptualized as "interorganizational rent-generating processes" (Dyer & Singh, 1998: 661).…”
