This guide provides a rigorous framework for designing empirical and qualitative studies in the field of entrepreneurship. It emphasizes a 'theory-first' approach, guiding researchers on how to structure designs that effectively test theoretical mechanisms while addressing common methodological challenges such as selection bias, survivorship bias, and establishing temporal precedence. Essential for manuscripts targeting top-tier journals in the field.

This methodology provides a rigorous guide for developing cross-national theoretical frameworks for international marketing research. It teaches researchers how to move beyond merely reporting observed differences across countries. Instead, users must pre-theorize the underlying mechanisms (e.g., cultural values, institutional voids, economic maturity) that predict cross-national variation, ensuring hypotheses are architecturally sound and testable for high-impact academic journals.

A comprehensive guide for building robust, testable theoretical frameworks for submissions to the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR). It distinguishes between deriving behavioral mechanisms (mediators, processes) and specifying structural/econometric primitives and identification arguments, ensuring the research contribution meets academic rigor.
