Environmental Perceptions and Scanning in the United States and India: Convergence in Entrepreneurial Information Seeking?
基于制度理论和创业认知，研究了美国和印度企业家对环境战略不确定性的感知以及扫描频率，发现文化背景影响扫描频率，但两国企业家在感知上相似，且感知到的环境变化和重要性会促进信息扫描。
Drawing on institutional theory and entrepreneurial cognition, we test the environmental perception–scanning framework in the United States and India. The results suggest that culture and transition context help explain scanning frequency, but entrepreneurs in the two countries are similar in their perceptions of strategic uncertainty in environmental sectors. Moreover, the perceptions of increased environmental change and sector importance, as conditioned by perceived information accessibility, are associated with increased scanning. Overall, our results provide important indications about perceptions and information seeking, and lend support to indications of a universal mindset of entrepreneurship.
