Sergio Paramo Ortiz (S.)

I am a lecturer doing research and education on (social) entrepreneurship at Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, department of Organisation Strategy and Entrepreneurship. I am also Associate Editor of the Social Enterprise Journal and part of the board of directors of the International Research Network on Social Enterprise.

My research topics are at the intersection of social enterprises and context, and social entrepreneurship and education. My current research agenda focus on understanding the role that context plays in the entrepreneurial journey of social enterprises, and on understanding the pedagogical approaches for teaching alternative organisations in business schools. My research practice involves industry collaboration.

On the educational front, I coordinate and teach the courses Diversity in Entrepreneurship, and Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management; and I teach the course Social Entrepreneurship at SBE, Venlo and UCM campus. Parallel to this I supervise master, MBA and bachelor theses, and do faculty service as reviewer for the Admissions office.
