Research and practice

We aim to be thought leaders in research and practice of entrepreneurship, international management and innovation.  We are proud of the impactful nature of our research which has in many cases influenced policy and practice in these areas.

Our current research and impact:

Dr Misagh Tasavori advises on entrepreneurship education and training in Iran

Dr Misagh Tasavori collaborated with a company in Iran to assess an initial 5,000 students for their business acumen. The pilot research revealed that the majority didn鈥檛 have the characteristics, such as creativity, independence, innovation and risk-taking, necessary to be a success in business. This prompted the Ministry of Education in Iran to order a wider study, and in May 2015 over two million students, aged 13-15, were surveyed with very similar results. It became clear a major entrepreneurship education programme was needed to address the problem.
