    Why I decided to challenge the entire basis of my field

This phenomenon is many-dimensional. When our thoughts leave our lips or shape our hands they take on a form, […]

    Understanding Entrepreneurial Decision-Making

    Entrepreneurship has been the theme of my research for four decades. My first article on entrepreneurship was published in 1984. I must confess, however, that I had not truly understood the nature of entrepreneurship until a few years ago. The reason is that I was trapped in mainstream (neoclassical) economics.

    Emoji in Literacy Training and Healthcare Communications

    Since emoji gained global diffusion in the early 2010s, emoji characters have coalesced into a self-contained language that people of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds use on a daily basis, in remarkably similar ways.
