Research
Research in entrepreneurship combines theoretical and methodological rigour with practical relevance.
What we study
Our research can be broadly characterised as endeavouring to understand the complexity of entrepreneurship as a multifaceted socio-economic phenomenon. Much of our research is applied, with relevance for public policy.
Some of our current research projects include:
- entrepreneurship and population ageing
- psychological processes underlying entrepreneurial actions
- regional and institutional embeddedness of entrepreneurship
- social and sustainable business venturing
- trust in small firms' financial relationships
Our editorial activities
In addition to our own research, we also contribute to scholarly debates through our editorial activities.
Our team members are regular ad hoc reviewers for journals such as Entrepreneurship & Regional Development, Journal of Business Venturing, Journal of Small Business Management and Regional Studies.
Further, Professor Teemu Kautonen is a Consulting Editor of the International Small Business Journal (ABS3*, Impact Factor 2012: 1.47) and an Editorial Review Board Member of Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (ABS4*, Impact Factor 2012: 2.24).
