An Agenda Explained
How can we encourage international entrepreneurship? That's just one of the questions on Dr. Wade Danis' mind. Emerging economies are, it seems, perpetually emerging—implying that their arrival as full-fledged economies is indefinite. And yet, here they are, forces to be increasingly reckoned with on the global economic stage, no longer relegated to the wings. As the story unfolds, the research stream is broadening and deepening, especially in the area of international entrepreneurship. Nonetheless, gaps exist. Danis, a Gustavson associate professor of international business, is formulating a research agenda in order to bridge these gaps. Read more in our Research@Gustavson newsletter.
