Dear friends,

I hope that you all and your loved ones are safe and well during this difficult and strange time.

Here is my question for today…

I am teaching a PhD class on the psychology of entrepreneurship, and I want to share some examples of creativity in data collection with the doctoral students. For example, one terrific example I will be sharing is the new paper by Greg Fisher, Regan Stevenson, Emily Neubert, Devin Burnell, & Don Kuratko (2020, in JMS) in which they coded text from the National Public Radio (NPR) podcast entitled “How I Built This” to examine the novel construct of entrepreneurial hustle (see their Study 1). I also know friends have coded TV shows such as Shark Tank, Dragon’s Den, (e.g., Maxwell, Jeffrey, & Lévesque, 2011). Finally, what else have researchers done??

I invite colleague-researchers to share their own, or other examples, of data collection creativity. I hope to generate a list of opportunities to share with my PhD class.

My best to you all…

With many thanks, Remy Nyukorong
