Per Davidsson is professor in entrepreneurship at QUT, Australia and JIBS, Sweden. Apart from his two affiliations he holds an honorary doctorate from Leuphana University, Per is a former Chair of the ENT Division of the Academy of Management and has served as action editor for three leading entrepreneurship journals.  Independent sources have repeatedly ranked Per among the top 10 scholars and thought leaders in entrepreneurship research. He coined the notion of “external enabler” in 2015 and has since worked with colleagues to actualize its potential as a more workable alternative to the notion of “objective, agent-independent opportunity” and remedy for the general, relative neglect of environmental forces in entrepreneurship and strategy research of recent decades.
