Research and Insights

What drives innovation? How can an organisation manage creativity? What can social enterprises learn from the for-profit sector? How can we create an entrepreneurial culture? The Ryan Academy for Entrepreneurship is committed to developing research, insight and outcomes to help individual and organisations to answer these questions.

The Ryan Academy and its associates are engaged in research in a number of areas including entrepreneurship, minority entrepreneurship, social enterprise, creativity and innovation. Research conducted by the Ryan Academy, or by staff related to the Academy, are presented here.
