About

 Dr. Nachiket Bhawe builds on his experience as a founder and mentor to many entrepreneurial ventures to focus on questions of practical relevance in addition to academic significance. Whether the intention is to accumulate wealth or to address pressing social causes, this transformation is made possible by the powerful forces of self-determination that entrepreneurship characteristically unleashes, whereby individuals conceive innovative ideas, organize production, assume risk, and engage customers and others whom they want to impact, often across national borders.

His research has been published in top journals of the field like the Journal of Applied Psychology, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, Small Business Economics, and Journal of Business Venturing among others. He has presented at numerous universities and international conferences and his current work focus at the intersection of strategy and entrepreneurship with a focus on studying how organizations can scale by leveraging knowledge of individuals.
