Author Biography

Antti Kauppinen, RMIT University, Australia

Dr. Antti Kauppinen works as a lecturer of entrepreneurship at the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He did his PhD at Oulu Business School, Finland, and also visited Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, when studying opportunity creation and the process of becoming an entrepreneur, in particular. Afterwards, he has been working in numerous countries (e.g., UK, USA, Netherlands, Germany, and Italy) as an external lecturer and researcher. His current research considers nascent entrepreneurs’ (e.g., business students, incubator participants, freelancers, and athletes’) activities, cognitions (e.g., emotions, cognitive capabilities, decision-making, attitudes to failure etc.), and narratives which are related to their start-up business creation/development and which are often antecedents of these individuals’ firms market entries. He has experience in coaching start-ups and sportsmen, and he also has an experience as an athlete himself. His published work can be found in Ephemera, International Journal of Entrepreneurial Venturing, Journal of International Entrepreneurship, and International Journal of Sport Management and Marketing.
