Dr. Thomas B. Long : regenerative entrepreneurship

Dr. Tom Long is the Centre’s assistant professor in regenerative entrepreneurship. His background is in Politics and Economics and Sustainable Development. His research lines focus on the current impact and future potential of regenerative entrepreneurship and responsible innovation and related themes of inclusivity, managing unintended outcomes and externalities, and the role of socioethical factors to achieve sustainable outcomes. The research lines focus on how sustainable entrepreneurs view, incorporate and manage socioethical issues into their entrepreneurial and business model innovation processes. The research lines are interdisciplinary across the fields of management, economics, sociology, psychology and political sciences, are often inductive and conducted as a team effort. The research lines offer important foundations for the regenerative opportunities of sustainable entrepreneurship in fragile nature environments such as the Waddensea region.
