I aim to generate state-of-the-art knowledge at the intersection of information systems and social entrepreneurship research, unlocking the potential of digital footprints for entrepreneurship research. To reach this goal, I focus on new research methods such as computer-aided text analysis (CATA) or qualitative comparative analysis (QCA).
