Development as Freedom

The 2008 crash has left all the established economic doctrines - equilibrium models, real business cycles, disequilibria models - in disarray. Part of the problem is due to Smith’s "veil of ignorance": individuals unknowingly pursue society’s interest and, as a result, have no clue as to the macroeconomic effects of their actions: witness the Keynes and Leontief multipliers, the concept of value added, fiat money, Engel’s law and technical progress, to name but a few of the macrofoundations of microeconomics. A good viewpoint to take bearings anew lies in comparing the post-Great Depression institutions with those emerging from Thatcher and Reagan’s economic policies: deregulation, exogenous vs. endoge- nous money, shadow banking vs. Volcker’s Rule. Very simply, the banks, whose lending determined deposits after Roosevelt, and were a public service became private enterprises whose deposits determine lending. These underlay the great moderation preceding 2006, and the subsequent crash.

Extant literature typically presumes entrepreneurs to be evaluating opportunities before deciding to pursue them. We explore the limits of this premise by considering less deliberate, more impulse ...

Action! Impulse Driven Logic & Entrepreneurial Opportunity Pursuit

This article aims to further the rigor and relevance discussion in entrepreneurship studies. It argues that tensions arise due to an adherence to a rigor-as-correspondence perspective, which can be addressed through the advancement of a rigor-as-performativity perspective. Entrepreneurship concepts are tools used to define, represent, and explain entrepreneurial experience, yet how these tools hook onto the world is a question of performance and application rather than unambiguous correspondence. We advocate for a view of rigor and relevance that appreciates the torch-like features of concepts—how they help entrepreneurs deal with the world so that they may fulfil their intentions—whilst retaining an understanding that the future is unknowable and change a constant.

Concepts as Mirrors and Torches: Rigor and Relevance as Scholarly Performativity

A contingency perspective is used to examine how social capital influences the relationship between cross-functional collaboration and product innovativeness. Three dimensions of organizations’ internal social context (social interaction, trust, and goal congruence) conducive to high-quality knowledge transfer are argued to increase firms’ ability to convert cross-functional collaboration into product innovativeness. Several research hypotheses are tested based on a sample of 232 firms. It is found that the relationship between cross-functional collaboration and product innovativeness is amplified at higher levels of the three social capital dimensions. The study’s implications for the role of knowledge transfer and social capital in exchange relationships are discussed.

Cross-Functional Collaboration, Knowledge Transfer and Product Innovativeness: Contingency Effects of Social Context

A translational framework for entrepreneurship research

Bronchial asthma is a common chronic lung disease that is driven by abnormal inflammatory reactions in the airways in response to the complex interaction between genetics and environmental factors. The underlying inflammation in asthma is manifested by prominent eosinophil infiltration and Th2 inflammatory mediators; however the pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-1β, have also been found in increased amount in the sputum and BAL in individuals with bronchial asthma, especially in more severe state. Therefore, IL-1β is considered to be of importance in pathogenesis of this condition as the protein level of the cytokine is finely regulated by variety of factors, including genetics. The IL1B gene displays many SNPs both in promoter and coding regions, which have been associated with IL-1β production.In the current case-control study we investigated -511C>T (rs16944) promoter polymorphism and +3953C>T (rs1143634) silent polymorphism in exon 5 of IL1B and their haplotypes as candidate risk fac...
