Description
Summary:Theories of social cognition, information processing, and expertise provided the foundation for a cross-cultural model of venture creation. Using data from 7 countries, support is found for the cognitive model. Arrangements, willingness, and ability scripts were found to be associated with the venture creation decision; some 2-way interactions involving arrangements scripts were significant; and individualism and power distance were associated with willingness and ability scripts and with the venture creation decision, through interaction with arrangements scripts. Results support and extend theory and provide preliminary evidence of consistency in congnitive scripts across cultures.
