he/him
I'm the Rath Professor of Entrepreneurship at Acadia University, where I teach and do research at the intersections of critical entrepreneurship studies, science & technology studies, and critical studies of innovation.
My first book, Observing Dark Innovation (2024), is about the "dark matter" of innovation research and policy—the many things that are missing or cast into shadow by our unquestioned assumptions about innovation.

Understanding our “inner theatre” is essential, but also an uphill challenge, fraught with difficulties and anxieties. In this conversation, Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries explores the essential need to build self-understanding and the difficulty in doing so.
