Course summary
This PhD will give you the opportunity to engage with debates surrounding entrepreneurship, such as knowledge production, organisational development, and innovation in the new economy. Our PhD candidates explore issues such as:
- entrepreneurial disengagement
- co-creation in social entrepreneurship
- cognitive entrepreneurship and over-optimism
Our Strategy, Operations and Entrepreneurship Group, based at our Southend Campus, are a group of international researchers with an entrepreneurial focus. The group organises regular research seminars, giving you the chance to hear cutting-edge research and network with scholars from the school and the wider academic community.
Their research is multi-disciplinary and falls within two broad and interrelated streams – management science and entrepreneurship and SME management. Current research projects include exploring “Autism and the world of work” – looking at the challenges faced by individuals with autism spectrum disorder in the workplace and how they can be offered better support and understanding; and “Accelerating women’s enterprise” – research in partnership with the Accelerating-women’s Enterprise (AWE) project exploring the challenges and barriers faced by disadvantaged women entrepreneurs.
You study at Essex Business School (EBS), the largest department at the University of Essex, at our Southend Campus. We are a business school with an international outlook.
