TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed and validated measures of causation and effectuation approaches to new venture creation and test their measures with two samples of entrepreneurs in young firms and found that effectuation is a formative, multidimensional construct with three associated sub-dimensions (experimentation, affordable loss, and flexibility) and one dimension shared with the pre-commitments.About:

Product innovation processes in sustainability-oriented ventures: A study of effectuation and causation
TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal case study on four sustainability-oriented ventures revealed two different approaches to product innovation in such ventures, namely adaptive and exaptive approaches, and they concluded that future studies should explore the implications of different approaches in order to identify best practices for new ventures engaged in product innovation for sustainability.
