Our regular update of successful grant applications and prizes in the School. Congratulations to all of those who've successfully secured funding for their research projects and to those who have received a prize for their work!

Following a keynote presentation and panel discussion at the 2012 Asia Business Angels Association conference in Kuala Lumpur, Professor Richard Harrison secured funding for the first ever research study of business angels in Malaysia. The research is commissioned by the newly constituted Malaysia Business Angels Association and is funded by the CRADLE Fund Sdn Bhd, the country's innovation support agency, on behalf of the Ministry of Finance. The research will be conducted with co-investigators Prof William Scheela (USA) and Dr V Sivapalan, a Kuala Lumpur based PhD alumnus of the School. The research objectives are to identify the scale of business angel investment in Malaysia, summarise the attitudes, behaviour and characteristics of active and prospective business angel investors and provide advice to the Malaysian government on policies to further develop the business angel investment market. The outcomes of this research should improve understanding of the role and potential of early stage risk capital provision in supporting innovation and entrepreneurial business development in emerging economies.

Professor Paolo Quattrone continues to build on his Human-Business at Edinburgh Initiative by successfully securing funding from the IASH International and Interdisciplinary Research Group fund. The scope of the Human-Business Initiative is a collaboration between the Business School, Divinity and IASH and it's aim is to create opportunities for recreating business studies through an interdisciplinary approach that engages the world of business.
