Amisha Miller

Amisha Miller is a third-year PhD candidate in Strategy and Innovation. She conducts field research to study how entrepreneurs and their early-stage firms interact with institutions, collectives, and communities that support entrepreneurs, to create valuable firms and products, and more inclusive institutions. In her first ten-month field study, she traced a cohort of twelve firms in an entrepreneurial program and explained how certain types of mutually constructed advice prompt more varied experimentation, which opens an entrepreneur’s aperture to take on strategy scope expansion. The paper provides insight into entrepreneurial training and strategy literatures, and policy suggestions to entrepreneurs and training programs on how entrepreneurs can effectively use advice. Previously Amisha worked in varied entrepreneurship research and policy in roles in funding organizations, with governments, in nonprofits, and as an entrepreneur. She has an MSc in Population and Development from the London School of Economics and a BA in History from University of Warwick.
