Presentation

My research interests are in the area of business and development studies with a particular focus on youth, entrepreneurship and micro- and small enterprises in Africa. My research on entrepreneurship has focused on the importance of the developing country context for entrepreneurship motivations, aspirations, organizational forms, and resource and skills acquisition.
