Entrepreneurship

The Doctoral Programme in Entrepreneurship covers research that spans a wide range of theoretical perspectives in entrepreneurship, research methods and tools, and specific topics covering different contexts in which the entrepreneurship phenomenon is observed and practiced. The coursework includes courses from allied disciplines like economics, strategy and organizational theory. Faculty members have the expertise and competence to guide research in areas such as: entrepreneurial cognition, entrepreneurial opportunities, entrepreneurship theory, high growth entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial networks, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and international entrepreneurship. The area also works closely with NSRCEL, which is a leading incubator in the country, to explore practice-relevant research questions as well as translate research into practice.

Research Overview

From addressing micro questions such as how entrepreneurs identify opportunities to exploring macro questions such as ecosystem development, the multi-disciplinary research approach adopted by the Entrepreneurship area covers it all, says Chairperson Prof. Dalhia Mani.

Pivoting can significantly impact a venture’s performance. It shows that founders can be agile in the face of adversity. But why do new businesses pivot? To empirically demonstrate whether or not pivoting results in improved performance, Sukhanya Roy also investigates whether or not ventures that pivot perform better than those that do not.

 

PhD scholar Aman Bhuwania points out that research on funding and VC funded firms has dominated Entrepreneurship research. But, given that only 27% of IPOs are VC funded, where do others get their “funding” from? Can ventures scale without capital?
