Dr Allan J O’Connor[ii] is an Associate Professor in Enterprise Dynamics at The University of South Australia, Australia. With qualifications that include a Master in Enterprise Innovation and a PhD that focused on issues of public policy for entrepreneurship education and economic development, he has developed undergraduate and postgraduate curricula in leading entrepreneurship programs in Australia. He has taught entrepreneurship topics that include New Venture Strategy, Innovation Management, Business Plan, Opportunity Evaluation, and Research Methods, since 2001. Entrepreneurship has been at the core of much of Allan’s life experience. Entrepreneurship has served as a means of transition. From leveraging his skills at age 18 as a musician to buy a business that supported his education and training in mechanical engineering, to undertaking an intrapreneurial venture to grow the market presence of his then-employer before later venturing out on his own to develop and market innovative products and consulting services, Allan has walked the path of innovation and entrepreneurship and faced market challenges that demand new thinking.

Allan now enjoys the thrill of higher learning and revels in the challenges of an entrepreneurial academic career. Increasingly, Allan is engaged in research designed to advise governments in matters of innovation and entrepreneurship that drives regional competitiveness. With the assistance of funding from the South Australian state government, in 2014–15 Allan led the development of the Australian Cluster Observatory, and has embarked on pioneering research into the entrepreneurial ecosystem in South Australia. His growing portfolio of more than fifty research publications including internationally peer reviewed journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, and research reports, is testament to the significance of his research agenda and contribution to his research field.
