Drs. J. (Hans) van Polen : methods and sustainable entrepreneurship projects

Hans van Polen is the Centre’s expert on research methods relevant for sustainable entrepreneurship projects. The students in the master program have the opportunity to develop their own final project enabling to test their new competencies in practice. The master program offers a particular support system to make these student projects successful. In part, the final projects benefit from the course in research methods during which students learn how to develop a research question that is relevant for the business partner in question and for the academic degree competencies. Together with the embed-dedness in existing literature and the justification of their research methods, this is the first part of their final project. Subsequently, students collect information and work together with our stakeholders in developing answers to their questions and the implications for sustainable entrepreneurship.
