I'm currently working on a Master's dissertation on strategies employed by entrepreneurs and small / medium businesses.

Is there anyone here who'd be willing to be interviewed for the research? The final dissertation can be written up without naming the firm, ensuring that strategies can be linked back to your business. Obviously, if you do feel that anonymity would be the best option, you might be better off emailing me rather than replying on here.

Depending on the situation and my usefulness, I am happy to help out with your business as a thank you.

It would most likely involve a meeting of around 45 minutes to an hour, and a second meeting to confirm the accuracy of the findings.

I understand that time is money, so the interviews will be as short as is practical, and based on desk research so as to avoid wasting time by covering background information during the interview.

I would, but I don't think I count as an entrepreneur.

Thanks toys, I've sent you an email.

Molgrips, it would depend. As I remember, you're an IT contractor. Is there some degree of novelty or innovation? Ultimately, it would depend on which definition of Entrepreneur I pick for the dissertation ๐Ÿ˜€

Novelty? Hehehe.. ๐Ÿ™‚

I've engineered things subtly by accquiring new skills and making a few key contacts to make myself more marketable.. however I wouldnt' call that innovation ๐Ÿ™‚
