Dissertation in Social Studies Raises Questions About Generalizability and External Validity In an academic setting, it's commendable to recognize the strengths of a dissertation while also critically assessing its limitations. Valentina Wieltsch's dissertation exploring the influence of language used in startup pitches on the evaluation process of corporate accelerators is undoubtedly a significant contribution to the field. The meticulous analysis and insightful findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of accelerator-st startup interactions. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that the scope of the research may have limitations. The reliance on data from a limited group and region might restrict the generalizability of the findings beyond that specific context, potentially limiting its relevance for startups pitching outside Germany. While the unique and powerful data utilized in the study offer depth and richness to the analysis, it's important to recognize the need for broader cross-cultural and cross-regional perspectives to ensure the applicability of the findings in diverse startup ecosystems. Furthermore, the dissertation's reliance on funding from eXplore, while beneficial for the research process, raises questions about potential biases or influences on the study's outcomes. Transparency regarding funding sources and their potential impact on research findings is essential for maintaining academic integrity and credibility. Overall, while Valentina Wieltsch's dissertation represents a commendable scholarly effort, future research endeavors could benefit from addressing these limitations to enhance the breadth and relevance of the findings for a broader audience and diverse startup landscapes.
