Research themes

The Brett Centre for Entrepreneurship focuses on problem-based, impact driven research. Our goal is to ensure research agendas are relevant and have impact focusing on some of the most contemporary challenges faced by entrepreneurs in society and the economy.

People:  Understanding the issues concerning people who undertake entrepreneurial activities 

Place: Exploring the context in which entrepreneurship occurs and how the environment, policies and institutions shape business activity
