Research interests

Entrepreneurship, innovation, social capital, equity and inclusion.

 

Yuli's research on entrepreneurship primarily focuses on exploring the complexities of women's entrepreneurship, migrant entrepreneurship, and the sharing economy. Her research on women’s entrepreneurship, for example, has implications in terms of identifying female role models to inspire more women to pursue entrepreneurship, understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by women entrepreneurs in the digital economy, and addressing unconscious biases against women entrepreneurs and underrepresented groups and individuals.

 

Her research on innovation delves into the intricacies of national innovation ecosystems, with her work being cited in influential publications such as the Australian Council of Learned Academics (ACOLA)'s Horizon Scanning Series Report 2020 on the Internet of Things. Yuli also researches on digital innovation, with a specific emphasis on how organisations develop and execute strategies as well as how they design and implement business models and practices.

 

Yuli is also passionate in researching workplace issues, particularly those pertaining to social inclusion and the dynamics of social capital and networks. Her research on social inclusion has explored how informal networks and institutions contribute to the social exclusion of female professionals, even in subsidiaries of multinational corporations. Her research in the broader organisation studies has also helped in highlighting the pressing challenges and multifaceted dynamics at play within organisational contexts, thus providing insights into the complex interactions that shape workplace relationships and behaviours.
