- Profile
-
Alice formerly worked at the Universities of Manchester and Huddersfield before joining the University of Sheffield. In 2022, Alice gave a summer guest lecture on fsQCA to master's students at the Global Development Institute at the University of Manchester. Alice’s PhD research uses the mixed-method methodology to investigate the role of multiple channels of knowledge spillovers on innovation within a knowledge-intensive cluster in developing countries. Her paper in Management and Organization Review (an ABS 3*) demonstrates multiple pathways for spin-off firms to strategically utilize knowledge spillovers channels to introduce new service innovations. It also entails practical implications in terms of upgrading opportunities for firms in developing countries. Alice worked as an intern at the Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE), Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Paris, France in 2018.
