Understanding Entrepreneurship

Freedom, Family, and Individual Psychology

Research Introduction

My research examines what entrepreneurship is and how it is shaped by the interaction between the external environment—including family, social circle, informal social and cultural institutions, and formal economic and political institutions—and individual psychology.

My work is guided by three questions:

  1. What is entrepreneurship?

  2. How does freedom shape entrepreneurship?

  3. What role does family play in the entrepreneurial process?

I pursue these questions through three connected research projects:

  • Clarifying the Concept of Entrepreneurship

  • Freedom and Entrepreneurship

  • The Family–Entrepreneurship Nexus
