In particular, we know very little about how entrepreneurs use trust to establish each of the unique strategic alliances they must form with stakeholders to enable a new venture to enter the market. We present a theory-based approach, developed from existing literature on trust, to specify multiple stakeholder-oriented insights related to trust that may facilitate new venture creation. In sum, during venture initiation, stakeholders require entrepreneurs to convey nuanced interpersonal messages to develop, initially, dimensions of trust – ability, benevolence, and integrity – to effectively build these relationships that enable successful new firm emergence.}, journal={Journal of Business Venturing Insights}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Pollack, Jeffrey M. and Barr, Steve and Hanson, Sheila}, year={2017}, month={Jun}, pages={15–20} } @misc{barr_baker_markham_kingon_2009, title={Bridging the Valley of Death: Lessons Learned From 14 Years of Commercialization of Technology Education}, volume={8}, ISSN={["1537-260X"]}, DOI={10.5465/amle.2009.44287937}, abstractNote={We argue for the increasing importance of providing graduate students with skills in technology entrepreneurship and the commercialization of technology.

Despite the widespread use of those methods, the organizational research literature lacks an integrated tutorial for researchers who are interested in studying decision making but who have little experience with the techniques required for this type of research. The authors use empirical findings and suggestions from a number of sources to offer a step-by-step tutorial covering the effective design, execution, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of policy-capturing studies. }, number={4}, journal={ORGANIZATIONAL RESEARCH METHODS}, author={Aiman-Smith, L and Scullen, SE and Barr, SH}, year={2002}, month={Oct}, pages={388–414} } @article{kletke_mackay_barr_jones_2001, title={Creativity in the organization: the role of individual creative problem solving and computer support}, volume={55}, ISSN={["1071-5819"]}, DOI={10.1006/ijhc.2001.0467}, abstractNote={Organizational support of employees' creative problem-solving (CPS) outputs is critical for maintaining a competitive advantage and for institutionalizing creativity. We believe that computerized creative support systems (CCSS) can be used effectively in this regard. We identify characteristics of CCSS and individual characteristics and suggest directions for empirical research to evaluate how these characteristics may affect an individual's CPS process and resulting creative outcomes. We also demonstrate the importance of individual creativity to organizational creativity and suggest directions for research to contribute to institutionalized creativity in the organization. We illustrate our arguments with sets of empirical research propositions based upon both process and outcomes.}, number={3}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMAN-COMPUTER STUDIES}, author={Kletke, MG and Mackay, JM and Barr, SH and Jones, B}, year={2001}, month={Sep}, pages={217–237} } @article{tabak_barr_1999, title={Propensity to adopt technological innovations: the impact of personal characteristics and organizational context}, volume={16}, ISSN={["1879-1719"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0923-4748(99)00011-9}, abstractNote={This study investigated how personal characteristics and organizational context are associated with strategic decision makers' intentions to adopt technological innovations.

This study proposes that effects of DSS on decision outcomes develop over time. The study evaluated whether improvements in decision quality typically associated with DSS were due primarily to ‘development’ or ‘reliance’ effects. Using an add-on and take-away design, we examined whether introduction of DSS contributes to decision quality after controlling for task familiarity. We also evaluated decision-makers' performance after removing the DSS. Results indicated that although DSS contributed to decision quality after controlling for task familiarity, increased decision performance of DSS-aided decision makers may be due to reliance rather than better conceptual understanding of the decision problem. Implications of these results for design and implementation of DSS are discussed.}, number={2}, journal={DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS}, author={Barr, SH and Sharda, R}, year={1997}, month={Oct}, pages={133–146} } @article{livingstone_nelson_barr_1997, title={Person-environment fit and creativity: An examination of supply-value and demand-ability versions of fit}, volume={23}, ISSN={["0149-2063"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0149-2063(97)90040-4}, abstractNote={This study extends the previous research on creativity and person-environment fit by examining fit on the dimension of creativity and by incorporating both supply-value and demand-ability versions of fit. A fit between demands for creativity and abilities for creativity was related to lower strain and higher job satisfaction. However, the most impressive influence on outcomes was the environmental influence; particularly the influence of supplies for creativity. The version of fit examined also affected results. Supply-value and demand-ability versions of fit exhibited different relationships with outcomes. These results suggest that more research is needed to explore specific environmental conditions that encourage creativity in organizations.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT}, author={Livingstone, LP and Nelson, DL and Barr, SH}, year={1997}, pages={119–146} }
