Shelter is a PhD fellow at the Department of Strategy and Innovation. His research lies at the intersection between entrepreneurship and strategy. Shelter’s current research investigates the entrepreneurial pre-entry process and the implications of the pre-entry process for firm strategy and different venture outcomes. Shelter has acquired skills in theory building as well as collecting and analyzing large-scale primary (both qualitative and quantitative) data, mainly from the informal economy in Ghana. He has extensive experience in teaching entrepreneurship courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. He has also co-taught a course that leverages gamification as a tool in learning about mechanisms of strategy. Shelter recently won the Carlsberg Foundation Doctoral Consortium Award for his project on the entrepreneurial pre-entry process at the Nordic Conference on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Research (NCSB2022).
