“…Initially, we focused on three psychological distance dimensions, passion, trust behavior and approved GM crops at the individual level. Distributed cognition may have weakened or strengthened the connections found 104 at the collective and organizational levels. Future research may consider collective or group, cultural and ethnic elements affecting individual cognition.…”

This study contributes to the literature on genetically modified crops by examining the impact of psychological distance on farmer adoption. The existing body of literature suggests that some farmers have the conservative perception to adopt genetically modified crops because of controversies regarding the side effects and profitability. To understand these social problems, we have relied upon construallevel theory which argues farmer passion about dynamics like here and now, likely or unlikely and the near or far from self are vital for the adoption of approved genetically modified crops. The data for the present study collected from three Asian countries through questionnaire, for China 300, India 350, Philippines 300 valid responses collected. The study founds a positive relation of psychological distance based on passion with farmer trust behavior to adopt genetically modified crops over time. The findings of the present study provide new insights into the development of farmer acceptability and encourage the use of novel crop technologies.

“…On the micro-level, scholars initially focused on personality traits (Rauch and Frese, 2007), entrepreneurial traits (Mueller and Thomas, 2001), motivations (Scheinberg and MacMillan, 1988), beliefs and values (McGrath et al , 1992; McGrath and MacMillan, 1992), but most of the more recent research shifted its focus to entrepreneurial cognition (Alvarez and Busenitz, 2001; Mitchell et al , 2002; Shepherd and Krueger, 2002). Randolph-Seng et al (2015) noted that entrepreneurship research has been “individuals-focused, while ignoring interactions among those individuals, ignoring the context, and missing a meta-theory that takes into account these contextualized interactions.” While this paper does not build a meta-theory, our theoretical framework contributes to clarifying the context within which the process of entrepreneurship happens.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between entrepreneurial cognition and innovative entrepreneurial activity (IEA) across countries using an institutional perspective. Design/methodology/approach The paper tests theoretical model using data collected by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness study and the Index of Economic Freedom (IEF). A multi-level analysis is performed based on set of 1,004,620 observations from 49 countries spanning 13 years (2001–2013). Findings The results suggest that in terms of formal regulations; the relationship between entrepreneurial cognitions and IEA becomes stronger when there is an increase in intellectual property right and business freedom regulations in a country. On the other hand, in terms of informal institutions the relationship between entrepreneurial cognitions and IEA becomes stronger when the level of institutional collectivism and uncertainty decreases and performance orientation increases. Originality/value The study indicates that entrepreneurship by innovation increases when the individuals possess high level of entrepreneurial cognition under suitable institutional conditions (e.g. intellectual property right, business freedom, institutional collectivism, uncertainty avoidance and performance orientation).

“…The upper echelons theory (Hambrick and Mason, 1984;Hambrick, 2007) holds that an entrepreneur's cognition in strategic decision-making inevitably influences firm-level outcomes (Bromiley and Rau, 2016). More specifically, studies on the underlying logic of entrepreneurial cognition (Mitchell et al, 2002;Randolph-Seng et al, 2015) revealed that coping reshaped an entrepreneur's cognitive structure and elicited different types of information processing systems (Burns and D'Zurilla, 1999;Ucbasaran et al, 2009), that influenced firmlevel outcomes by exerting an impact on an entrepreneur's strategic decision-making. Therefore, the importance of studying the effect of coping at the firm level is highlighted on the basis of the entrepreneurial cognition approach, although the initial purpose of coping is to overcome stress at an individual level.…”

How Coping Combination Affects Innovation Ambidexterity in Business Failure Situations

As an effective cognitive and behavioral strategy, coping helps to overcome negative events. Although coping and its effects have been widely studied in psychology, little is known about the combination of entrepreneurs' coping and its connection with firms' innovation ambidexterity. To fill these gaps, in this study, the authors collected 106 samples through two serial-wave surveys of the Bohai Economic Rim in China and tested the theoretical hypotheses using polynomial regression with response surface analysis. The results showed that alignment coping combination enhanced innovation ambidexterity by reshaping an entrepreneur's cognitive structure. Misalignment coping combination was found to enhance innovation ambidexterity by eliciting an entrepreneur's different types of information processing systems. This study contributes to the literatures of coping, innovation ambidexterity, and upper echelons theory from the entrepreneurial cognition approach.
