Entrepreneurship is a rapidly spreading academic discipline throughout the world. The modern economic landscape is increasingly being driven by change coming from new innovative enterprises. Students, teachers, and policymakers are attracted to entrepreneurship as a potential engine of economic and social change.
As a phenomenon-driven field, entrepreneurship research tends to draw upon theories from various social science disciplines. My research shares such an interdisciplinary zeal and is situated at the intersection between economic sociology, regional development, and organization theory. I study the theoretical, practical and policy implications of these streams of research and seek to communicate findings in articles, books, case studies and public policy papers. I am also interested in social science methodology and philosophy of science.
Current research programs include cultural and demographic diversity in both new and established firms, interpersonal group dynamics in startup firms, and the potential relationship between entrepreneurship and economic inequality.
