Centre for Entrepreneurship publishes impact report
The Management School’s Centre for Entrepreneurship (CfE) has published its first impact report after recently being relaunched. The report highlights the aims of the Centre, its research focus areas, research impact and details of its initiatives and projects, including the PhD Academy.
The Centre for Entrepreneurship is focused on bringing research and practice together through problem-based, impact driven research agendas. Its research addresses the human, economic, ecological and cultural determinants and consequences of entrepreneurship.
Working both locally and internationally, the Centre’s research projects look to identify ways that entrepreneurship could help to solve problems within society.
As part of its relaunch, the Centre appointed a new Director, Professor Pablo Munoz, as well as new staff, including Professor Robert Blackburn - who has research published in the highest ranked journals and also serves on the editorial board of a number of entrepreneurship journals.
Another major change, at the time of the relaunch, was an update of the key research themes to ensure the Centre’s research is aligned to societal challenges and also covers a broad spectrum of enterprise research. To mark the relaunch and celebrate the Centre’s many successes, the School recently published an annual impact report.
Professor Pablo Munoz, Director of the Centre for Entrepreneurship, said “This report marks a successful first year of our revamped Centre for Entrepreneurship. I am very proud of what we have achieved as a team, with our research staff, PhD students and business engagement team.
Our outputs, outreach and range of engagement initiatives are a good reflection of our mission and desire to conduct impactful research. I believe we are in a right path to become a leading entrepreneurship research centre in the country.”
The University of Liverpool Management School was opened in 2002 and has grown to include 200 faculty and a flourishing cohort of PhD researchers. The School is home to three Research Centres: the Centre for Entrepreneurship, the Centre for Supply Chain Research; and the Centre for Sports Business. In addition, faculty are members of wider, interdisciplinary research clusters and institutions, examining many aspects of business and management including: organization and employee wellbeing, econometrics and big data, and risk and uncertainty.
