The findings are consistent with prior studies using similar EO scales in different countries, such as the US, Sweden and Singapore.
“Furthermore, our findings are consistent with prior studies that used similar EO scales to examine the EO-performance outcomes relationship in firms operating in different countries, such as in the US (Zahra and Covin, 1995), Sweden (Wiklund and Shepherd, 2005) and Singapore (Keh et al., 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
