ProfileContactCVPublications

Person profile

Dr. Chliova has been working as Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Aalto University School of Business since 2015.

Her research focuses on how entrepreneurship and emergent organizations can help tackle grand social challenges such as poverty, inequality and the refugee crisis. She has published work on the impact of microloans on entrepreneurs' quality of life, on developing and scaling ventures in the base of the pyramid, and on the emergence of social entrepreneurship, in the Journal of Business Venturing, Academy of Management Perspectives, and Organization Studies respectively. Her study on microloans has received the Journal of Small Business Management Award for the best paper on the topic of Public Policy.

In current research projects she is exploring the evolution of grassroots organizations addressing refugee integration challenges, the response of civil society organisations to stigmatisation under populist regimes, as well as the outcomes of prosocial motivations of organisational leaders on their ventures.

Dr. Chliova is responsible for teaching Aalto MSc students how to develop actionable venture ideas in her Venture Ideation and Venture Formation courses. She has held the role of Director of Aalto's Masters Program in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management during 2018-2019.
