Strategic and social entrepreneurship

He is currently coordinating an international project on collaboration for social innovation funded by the Dutch Research Council NWO. His research has been published in many top general management journals and he regularly exchanges his expertise with stakeholders by means of practitioner-oriented policy reports, publications, and workshops.

‘Advancing research and education in the field of entrepreneurship is essential in business and management education.
