Research summary
AI-generated

Blake D. Mathias studies entrepreneurship and organizational identity, focusing on how founders and small ventures build distinctive identities, navigate competition, and respond to market change. Much of the work draws on real-world industries such as craft beer, artisan producers, and creative communities to explore themes like coopetition (simultaneous cooperation and competition), stigma, and tradition versus innovation. The research combines case studies, qualitative analysis, and meta-analysis of firm performance.
