We acknowledge that different research and researchers have different research skills. At the same time, it is understood that the final decision on the methodology to be employed may vary depending on the characteristics of the refined research proposal. 

Indicative research areas may include: 

• Exploration of the different enablers of innovation according to the characteristics of the entrepreneur. 
• Analysis of the barriers to adopting and entrepreneurial perspective and the development of a sustainable tourism industry. 
• Examination of the different outcomes (i.e., product-service, processes, organisational and marketing, etc.) achieved as a function of the entrepreneur's characteristics.
