Dr Steven Pattinson

Steven is an Associate Professor in Entrepreneurship. His research focuses on entrepreneurship in the context of science-based, high technology SMEs. He has published in leading journals including British Journal of Management, Management Learning, Industrial Marketing Management, Journal of Management Inquiry, Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development, and The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Steven is interested in the use of storytelling and sensemaking in the construction of coherent accounts of the world. 

As a research focused academic, Steven recognizes the importance of providing students with a rich learning experience by using both disciplinary and pedagogic research in his teaching. Steven views academic theory and practice as inseparable, with empowerment a key factor to enhancing learning, and therefore seeks to create productive learning environments using ‘real life’ case studies.

He has worked on a number of research projects in economic development and social enterprise funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, Institute for Local Governance, Gateshead Council, National Offender Management Service (North East) and Enterprise Educators UK.
