Thought Leadership

Over the past decade, I have published over 20 different peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings papers. Most of my work has been focused on entrepreneurial cognition, small business decision-making, and resource bundles that help competitively differentiate family-owned firms. Recently, I've begun to branch out into publishing on entrepreneurial education and innovation management. Selected manuscrpits are available below.
