Research: Working Paper Series

The Spiro Institute sponsors an Entrepreneurial Leadership Working Paper Series. Any faculty member may request that his or her work be considered for the Working Paper Series, as long as the work has a legitimate focus on entrepreneurship. Work funded by the Center through the grant program will automatically be listed as a working paper.

Submission Process: A committee of entrepreneurship faculty members will review submissions to the Working Paper Series and makes all acceptance decisions. For additional information about the research grant competition and the working paper series, please contact Caron St. John at (864)656-7235.
