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.
