PhD Research on ETA

I am currently working on an Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) research project as part of my PhD program. I am seeking US-based searchers who have completed their search, either with an acquisition or without making one. Current searchers are not part of my target population. This research is completely anonymous and focuses on individual traits rather than firm strategies, procedures, or other organizational factors. I greatly appreciate participation from anyone who meets the criteria. Once the results are compiled, I will share the findings on LinkedIn. Thank you all for your support! https://okstatebusiness.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3n6GbBPgewmEHpI Participant Recruitment Form Dear Potential Participant, You are invited to take part in a research study conducted by the Management Department at Oklahoma State University.
