Noni is an Associate Professor within the Entrepreneurship and Innovation group at Warwick Business School. Dr. Symeonidou's research examines early-stage entrepreneurship. She specialises in strategic entrepreneurship and innovation, investor decision-making and micro-foundations of entrepreneurship. In particular, her work addresses the following two questions: 1) how do firms organise their resources for innovation? and 2) how do firms and investors select innovations?
Noni uses archival data and experiments to investigate these questions in contexts such as high-growth entrepreneurship, top management teams and scientific teams.
Noni obtained her PhD at Imperial College and was awarded a fully funded PhD scholarship by the Innovation Studies Centre and the EPSRC. During her studies in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship group of Imperial College she investigated the process of capability development in ventures that experienced significant liabilities of foreignness and liabilities of newness. Noni was granted access to the confidential Kauffman Firm Survey and won two awards from the E.M. Kauffman Foundation. She holds an MSc (Distinction) in Entrepreneurship from the University of Nottingham. Prior to that she had spent a semester at the University of Tampere and the Tampere University of Technology in Finland.
