Andrea Contigiani studies how new businesses (especially early-stage startups) learn and make decisions under uncertainty, focusing on experimentation, strategic planning, and how founders protect and use their ideas and human capital. Their work also touches on entrepreneurship among migrants and refugees, innovation policy, and how institutions like patents and trade secrecy shape firm innovation. This research is generally aimed at students interested in strategy, entrepreneurship, and how organizations grow and compete.
