Research Interests
My work focuses on how entrepreneurial work is constructed in society and the actions, discourses and relational activities used to bring entrepreneurial work into being. I am also interested in the roles and responsibilities of organizations in effecting a more equitable and inclusive society and the extent to which sustainability concerns are changing the business-society interface and encouraging entrepreneurs and managers to act in more responsible ways.
- Entrepreneurship (opportunity emergence, relational perspectives, business start up, copreneurship, internationalization and organizational change of small firms)
- Family business (family discourses, family business in the television media, growth, organizational culture, family heritage, sustainability, succession and strategic renewal of family firms)
