Research

One this Page I will be trying to discuss my research; what I am doing, how and why…a short disclaimer though, this is an awkward section to keep up to date. PhD:

The focus of my PhD is the relationship between families, entrepreneurs  and their propensity for business venturing… however the real crux of it is an analytical method based on data helix’s which is still in the infant stage, now I’m back on track after a ropey year I’m hoping to finish in 2012/13.

I am also passionately interested in enterprise education, simulation technology and social media, all of which i regularly publish / present about, a summary of my recent work is available below:
