David B. Audretsch: Spilling Knowledge All Over the World
No full textPer Davidsson discusses in the following chapter how he and David met and how they became close friends and collaborators. Using the economic analogy of knowledge spillovers, Davidsson creates a narrative of how David has built friendships across the world while also becoming one of the most prolific scholars in his field. These insights show how well-respected and connected David became by way of his open and honest demeanor.</p
Per Davidsson : recipient of the 2023 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research
No full textProfessor Per Davidsson is the recipient of the 2023 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research. Throughout an extraordinarily productive career, he has made invaluable contributions in building the field of entrepreneurship. His early studies on entrepreneurship and culture and his studies on the growth of small businesses played an important role in the emergence and development of entrepreneurship as a scholarly field of research. He has also, continuously, made more conceptual contributions by critically probing the development of the field, and engaged in writing foundational books that have been used extensively in higher education institutes. By probing and challenging traditional assumptions throughout his career, he has contributed to the refinement and renewal of the field. © 2023, The Author(s)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Investigating the manifestation of decision-making approaches in nonprofits: implications for governance
No full textNonprofit organisations face an increasingly complex environment. As a response, they explore and adopt diverse management perspectives. This paper begins with the premise that these perspectives can be classified into three distinct schools of thought, each of which represents a particular ideology towards managing nonprofit organisations. Furthermore, it suggests that these ideologies resonate with the decision-making approaches prominent in the general management literature. As such, the aim of the paper is to examine how each of these decision-making approaches manifest within nonprofits and explore their consequences for practice - focussing in particular on governance. The findings indicate that nonprofit practices are indeed guided by the differing decision-making approaches that can clearly be identified. Furthermore, we find that they have intended and unintended consequences that can either benefit the organisation or prove detrimental. Our key contribution therefore lies in offering an integrative framework that explains the contrasting nature of nonprofit decision-making and governance processes along with early empirical evidence of the varying approaches. Keeping in mind the volatility within the nonprofit landscape, we raise the need for future research that explores decision-making approaches within nonprofits
Theorising about the role of HR innovation in the competitive advantage of firms
No full textDespite growing interest in innovation, the role of HR innovation in creating competitive advantage remains an area of ambiguity. This paper presents a conceptual framework of the HR innovation-based competitive advantage process. Drawing from previous studies in innovation, strategic human resource management, entrepreneurship and competitive strategy literature, the framework conjectures that a firm’s competitive strategy orientation and entrepreneurial HR management enable it to achieve greater HR innovation, which then underpins competitive advantage. The relationship between entrepreneurial HR management and HR innovation is stronger in the presence of greater top management support. In addition to providing testable theoretical hypotheses, the framework presents a feasible path for practitioners to undertake HR innovation in their firms. It also provides valuable insights to policy planning aimed at improving firm competitiveness through HR initiatives
