At Effició, research is a dynamic process of applying knowledge to address real-world challenges faced by company owners, scholars, and partners. Our research initiatives embody our dedication to blending intellectual depth with practical application, offering strategies and solutions that shape business decisions, drive innovation, and foster growth.
What is “Research in Practice”?
Research in Practice at Effició is an integrated approach to learning and application, rooted in solving real-world business challenges through collaboration and rigorous inquiry. It serves as a bridge between academic precision and entrepreneurial execution, designed to provide company owners with tools and frameworks that foster long-term success.
This approach prioritizes:
- Generating intelligence that enhances business decision-making.
- Developing strategies grounded in evidence and practical application.
- Encouraging collaboration among scholars, alumni, and partners to enhance learning and broaden impact.
Research in Practice supports the broader mission of Effició by aligning directly with the CORE24 program and our educational philosophy, driving the continuous refinement of knowledge while delivering value to our community..
Grounded in the four core knowledge domains that drive our education—entrepreneurship, business, leadership, and marketing—our research supports the advanced principles taught in our CORE24 program and builds on the expertise cultivated through Effició’s tailored educational approach. These four areas of focus are the critical knowledge domains that shape the CORE24 curriculum:
- Entrepreneurial Innovation and Dynamics
Exploring the mindset, behaviors, and frameworks that drive creativity, opportunity identification, and long-term success. This research directly supports the entrepreneurial strategies taught in CORE24 and prepares business owners to embrace innovation in their operations. - Advanced Business Strategy and Operations
Investigating strategic approaches to financial management, operational efficiency, and scalability. By focusing on the complexities of building and maintaining infrastructure, this research reinforces the principles of business strategy embedded within CORE24. - Leadership Dynamics in Small Business
Examining the psychology and practices that define effective leadership and foster organizational culture. This area complements the leadership modules in CORE24, helping company owners refine their decision-making and leadership styles. - Marketing Intelligence and Communication
Analyzing nontraditional models, including the role of linguistics, psychology, and emerging technologies in strategic outreach. These concepts support CORE24’s emphasis on creating innovative marketing strategies that resonate with today’s competitive landscape.
Effició Research in Practice is designed to support the holistic development of individuals—what we call TOTAL personhood. Our efforts in research, teaching, and outreach work together to create a ripple effect of positive change.
