Dr. Buciuni's research focuses on the evolution of entrepreneurial ecosystems and the dynamics underlying innovation development in global value chains (GVCs). Overall, his research analyses how small and medium-sized enterprises develop innovation in the global economy, and what is their impact on local economic development. To date, Dr. Buciuni has published 12 articles in ABS 3 and ABS 4 journals, with 10 of them published after he joined TCD in 2016. As for his ongoing research, Dr. Buciuni has lately dedicated specific attention to a relatively new topic in Business Studies, notably Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs). After having published a first article on the evolution of the entrepreneurial ecosystem on the Galway medical devices production, Giulio is currently focusing on the impact of multinational enterprises on the Dublin's tech ecosystem. In parallel, he has recently started an international research project comparing the evolution of the entrepreneurial ecosystems of Galway and San Jose, Costa Rica. The results emerging from these projects should carry important implications for managers and policymakers interested in the analysis of new ventures creation and local economic development from foreign direct investments (FDIs). The analysis that Dr. Buciuni has conducted over the past decade relied on fieldwork that he conducted in several different industries and countries. While Dr. Buciuni started his research career analysing low-tech industries like furniture and bicycle in Italy and the US, more recently he has turned to high-tech sectors like biomedical production and internet-based firms in Ireland and Costa Rica. The variety of sectors and firms that Giulio has analysed over the years has allowed him to obtain an in-depth knowledge of the economic phenomena that he investigates. This represents a key strength of Dr. Buciuni's research production, which is reflected in the several articles that he was able to publish recently in highly-ranked journals.
