the process of entrepreneurial learning a Conceptual Framework
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 2005Co-Authors: Diamanto PolitisAbstract:The present article seeks to advance the theoretical knowledge of entrepreneurial learning by reviewing and synthesizing available research into a Conceptual Framework that explains the process of entrepreneurial learning as an experiential process. The Framework identifies three main components in the process of entrepreneurial learning: entrepreneurs' career experience, the transformation process, and entrepreneurial knowledge in terms of effectiveness in recognizing and acting on entrepreneurial opportunities and coping with the liabilities of newness. Based on the arguments in the article, five major propositions were developed to refine our understanding of entrepreneurial learning. Finally, theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

the process of entrepreneurial learning a Conceptual Framework
Social Science Research Network, 2005Co-Authors: Diamanto PolitisAbstract:Entrepreneurs with prior experience are moresuccessful in starting subsequent ventures. This analysis reviews andsynthesizes prior research into a Conceptual Framework to explainentrepreneurial learning as an experiential process. Expertise and knowledgegained by entrepreneurs from their prior experiences istransformed intoentrepreneurial learning. Three advantages of the Conceptual Framework are identified: (1) itemphasizes the role of the experience in creating entrepreneurial knowledge byintegrating theories of experiential learning, (2) it distinguishes between theexperience of the entrepreneur and the knowledge acquired, and (3) it developsdynamic perspective on the process of entrepreneurial learning. Entrepreneurial knowledge consists of (a) increased effectiveness inopportunity recognition and (b) increased effectiveness in coping with theliabilities of newness. Five major propositions for refining understanding ofexperiential learning are developed. The Conceptual Framework has fourcomponents: (1) entrepreneur's career experiences, (2) entrepreneurialknowledge, (3) transformation process, and (4) factors influencing thetransformation process. Three main components are identified in the process of transforming anexperience into entrepreneurial learning: (1) the outcomes of preciousentrepreneurial events, (2) the predominant logic or reasoning of entrepreneursin their present situations, and (3) the entrepreneur's career orientation thatinfluences future actions.

a Conceptual Framework for the oecd health care quality indicators project
International Journal for Quality in Health Care, 2006Co-Authors: Onyebuchi A Arah, Jeremy Hurst, Gert P Westert, Niek KlazingaAbstract:Issues. The Health Care Quality Indicator (HCQI) Project of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which is aimed at developing a set of indicators for comparing the quality of health care across OECD member countries, requires a balanced Conceptual Framework that outlines the main concepts and domains of performance that should be captured for the current and subsequent phases of the project. Addressing the issues. This article develops a Conceptual Framework for the OECD’s HCQI Project. It first argues that developing such a Framework should start by addressing the question, ‘performance of what—and to what ends?’ We identify at least two different major classes of Frameworks: (i) health and (ii) health care performance Frameworks, both of which are in common use. For the HCQI, we suggest a Conceptual Framework that is largely a purposeful modification of the existing performance Frameworks and which is driven by the health determinants model. Conclusions. The Conceptual basis for performance Frameworks can be traced back to the health determinants model. A health performance Framework takes a broader, societal or public health view of health determination, whereas a health care performance takes a narrower, mostly clinical or technical view of health care in relation to health (needs). This article proposes an HCQI Framework that focuses on the quality of health care, maintains a broader perspective on health and its other determinants, and recognizes the key aims of health policy.

health care quality indicators project Conceptual Framework paper
2006Co-Authors: Edward Kelley, Jeremy HurstAbstract:This paper represents an attempt to set out a Conceptual Framework for the OECD’s Health Care Quality Indicator (HCQI) Project. Two main issues are tackled: what concepts, or dimensions, of quality of health care should be measured and how, in principle, should they be measured. The need for a Conceptual Framework for the Project was expressed by a large group of participating countries. In interviews by the OECD Secretariat with member countries in April and May 2005, country experts and delegates to the Group on Health reiterated the need for a Framework for the OECD’s health care quality work. Countries stated that the Framework should be: a) based on country experience and b) could be used to guide both current and future work by the OECD in health care quality measurement and monitoring.

Ce document a pour objet de presenter le cadre conceptuel du projet de l’OCDE sur les indicateurs de la qualite des soins de sante (projet HCQI). Deux grandes questions y sont traitees : quels concepts, ou aspects, de la qualite des soins convient-il d’evaluer et comment ceux-ci doivent-ils en theorie etre evalues. La necessite d’elaborer un cadre conceptuel pour le projet a ete exprimee par un grand nombre de pays participants. Lors des entretiens menes par le Secretariat de l’OCDE avec les pays membres en avril et mai 2005, les experts et delegues nationaux aupres du Groupe sur la sante ont reaffirme la necessite d’elaborer un cadre pour les travaux de l’OCDE sur la qualite des soins de sante. Les pays ont indique que ce cadre devait a) etre fonde sur l’experience des pays et b) pouvoir etre utilise pour eclairer les travaux actuels et futurs de l’OCDE dans le domaine de l’evaluation et du suivi de la qualite des soins de sante.
