Foreignness-based social comparison and strategic change
From shutdown to reopening
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its associated lockdowns put many tourism businesses on hold. Although these lockdowns have been lifted, not all tourism entrepreneurs reopened their businesses. While prior research has extensively explored the post-pandemic recovery of tourism businesses, there has been relatively limited attention given to the determinants of tourism entrepreneurs to reopen their businesses post-crisis. Drawing on upper …

Causation processes and innovation strategy in small- and medium-sized firms in emerging countries
In the dynamic and resource-constrained environment of emerging countries, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face unique challenges in pursuing innovation strategy. This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how founder-CEOs' causation processes interact with human capital to shape SMEs' innovation strategy. While previous research has separately explored the impact of causation processes on innovation and the influence of foun…
Mental Health and well-being During the Covid-19 Pandemic and After the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
The study compared the mental health of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A repeated online cross-sectional study was performed twice among university students in Ukraine: in November 2020 (Pre-war sample, n = 752) and September-October 2022 (During-war sample, n = 862). The survey measured life satisfaction (SWLS), perceived stress (PSS-10), anxiety (GAD-7), and depression (PHQ-9). Stress, anxi…
A Quantum view of entrepreneurial opportunity
This article sheds new light on the debate between the Discovery and Creation views of entrepreneurial opportunity by drawing on quantum theory. We develop the Quantum view of opportunity, which explains how opportunity is both discovered and created. The Quantum view holds that the ontology and epistemology of opportunity are fundamentally inseparable, which explains why opportunity can never be fully specified. We argue, similar to the Discover…
Preference for vaccinated venues
This research examined the roles of individuals’ beliefs in COVID-19 vaccine adoption rate and side effects on their preferences for visiting vaccinated venues based on protection motivation theory and health belief model. An experiment of 345 adults in Peru, a popular tourism country heavily hit by COVID-19, revealed that individuals in the no ‘herd immunity’ condition and individuals in the ‘no evidence of side effects’ condition preferred vacc…
Mental health symptoms and coping strategies among Ukrainians during the Russia-Ukraine war in March 2022
CONTEXT: The Russian attack on Ukraine has been ongoing since February 24, 2022. Nevertheless, no research has documented the mental health of Ukrainians during the biggest land war in Europe after the Second World War, or how Ukrainians cope with the impact of the war. OBJECTIVES: To provide the prevalence rates of symptoms of psychological distress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia; and to link them with Ukrainians' productive coping strategie…
Predicting Managers' Mental Health Across Countries
Background: There is limited research focusing on publicly available statistics on the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as predictors of mental health across countries. Managers are at risk of suffering from mental disorders during the pandemic because they face particular hardship. Objective: We aim to predict mental disorder (anxiety and depression) symptoms of managers across countries using country-level COVID-19 statistics. Metho…
Mental health symptoms during the Covid-19 pandemic in developing countries
Typhoon eye effect versus ripple effect
BACKGROUND: The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted adversely upon the mental health of millions of people worldwide. Impacts on the mental health conditions and the associated predictors relating to adults in Pakistan, the fifth most populous country in the world, during the COVID-19 remain understudied. Our aim was to investigate distress, anxiety, and overall mental health and their associated predictors among Pakistani adults in this pan…
Predictors of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms in Brazil during Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil is extremely severe, and Brazil has the third-highest number of cases in the world. The goal of the study is to identify the prevalence rates and several predictors of depression and anxiety in Brazil during the initial outbreak of COVID-19. We surveyed 482 adults in 23 Brazilian states online on 9-22 May 2020, and found that 70.3% of the adults ( n = 339) had depressive symptoms and 67.2% ( n = 320) had anxiety sy…

Perception of Health Conditions and Test Availability as Predictors of Adults’ Mental Health during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Research identifying adults' mental health during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic relies solely on demographic predictors without examining adults' health condition as a potential predictor. This study aims to examine individuals' perception of health conditions and test availability as potential predictors of mental health-insomnia, anxiety, depression, and distress-during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey of 669 adults in…
Advancing entrepreneurship as a design science
Scholars have advocated the development of entrepreneurship as a design science. One foundational challenge in a design science is to identify design principles. We argue that a particular field can draw on a design knowledge from different design sciences to develop design principles. In particular, we show that entrepreneurship research can learn from one branch of artificial intelligence studies called “genetic algorithm,” which is a design fi…
Exploring an innovative design for sustainable urban water management and energy conservation
Large areas of our cities are taken by impervious areas, which reduce infiltration and increase peak flows, leading to flash floods and rendering less water for storage and use. At the same time, urban water demand is growing at an unsustainable pace. An innovative system design combining permeable pavements with underground water storage is proposed to reduce runoff peaks, store water, treat pollutants, lower ambient temperatures (heat island ef…
