Clarifying effectuation and causation : the role of regulatory focus and entrepreneurial orientation

Abstract

The research article produced for this MBA research project heeds to the call for further clarification of the concepts of effectuation and causation within the broader entrepreneurship discourse. It does this by empirically investigating the association an individual’s regulatory foci and their entrepreneurial orientation have with their preferences to apply effectual or causal logic. Therefore, the Journal of Entrepreneurship is well suited to publish this research. Further, this article follows the guidelines and requirements set out by the journal.
