Dr Finn's research investigates the complex interplay between organisational creativity and entrepreneurship through the lens of power dynamics. His work examines how individuals navigate institutional constraints to foster entrepreneurial behavior, with particular focus on creative spaces, embodied learning experiences, and inclusive practices for underrepresented groups. Methodologically, he specializes in advanced qualitative approaches including ethnography and reflexive conversation analysis.
His publication trajectory (2018-2025) reveals consistent exploration of power relations in entrepreneurial contexts, evolving from ethnographic studies of creative spaces to contemporary examinations of inclusive entrepreneurship and uncomfortable learning. Key themes include the negotiation of entrepreneurial identity, emergence of innovation in institutional settings, and critical perspectives on power in organizational creativity.
Dr Finn maintains active engagement with major scholarly communities through presentations at EGOS and Academy of Management conferences, demonstrating sustained contribution to organizational studies and entrepreneurship research.
