Research
The overriding theme in her research is technology-based entrepreneurship and the linking of entrepreneurship and innovation. Her specific research interest includes studying new and small technology-based firms and the role of entrepreneurs in the development of companies and economies. She is very interested in both innovation policy and entrepreneurship policy. She is especially pursuing the research of acquisitions and spin-offs as various entrepreneurial forms of promoting innovativeness and growth. This includes analyzing technology-based spin-offs from different incubator systems, both universities and private firms.
