Early career[edit]

Wiklund received his PhD from Jönköping International Business School in 1998, with his doctoral thesis titled "Small Firm Growth and Performance: Entrepreneurship and Beyond",[5] advised by Per Davidsson. He began his career at the Stockholm School of Economics before taking his current appointment at Syracuse University. During this time Wiklund focused primarily on entrepreneurial orientation and began his collaboration with Dean Shephard,[6] both of whom have since been recognized for their influence within entrepreneurship research.[7]

Mental health, well-being and entrepreneurship[edit]

In 2014 Wiklund started developing his current research agenda, which focuses on mental health and entrepreneurship. This research has been covered by Psychology Today,[8] Fast Company,[9] and Entrepreneur,[10] and has also been featured on podcasts.[11] In addition to his own published works on this topic,[12] he has organized workshops around the world and co-edited special issues in leading academic journals such as Academy of Management Perspectives[13] and the Journal of Business Venturing.[14]
