Professor Robert Nason鈥檚 research program centers on entrepreneurship and inequality. While flashy startups dominate headlines, the reality is that most of the rich are entrepreneurs and most entrepreneurs are poor. His research investigates a broader range of entrepreneurial activity in contexts of wealth and poverty with three primary objectives: i) bring social issues related to inequality into mainstream management theory, ii) generate new theory to explain entrepreneurial phenomena in the extremes of the wealth hierarchy, and iii) develop knowledge that will have social impact.

Professor Nason advances this ambitious research agenda through diverse theoretical and empirical tools, but is particularly focused on co-creating knowledge through collaboration with non-governmental organizations. His research program aims to bring attention to the more diverse reality of the phenomenon of entrepreneurship and aspires to help address grand challenges associated with inequality and sustainability.
