Adriana Drencheva is Lecturer in Entrepreneurship at the Sheffield university Management School. Before joining Sheffield University, she worked as a strategist with NGOs, MNCs, start-ups, sport teams, and social ventures to create strong brands and launch successful products, services, platforms, experiences, and campaigns. Her research adopts a micro-foundational perspective to investigate how actions, interactions, cognition, and relationships contribute to venture outcomes, such as venture emergence or innovation. Conceptually, she draws on theories based in occupational psychology (e.g. proactivity) and sociology (e.g. social capital, informal institutions). Empirically, it aims to contribute to the entrepreneurial method by investigating how specific behaviours and mechanisms can influence the process of developing successful (social) ventures and designing business models.

His approach to entrepreneurship research is as follows: describing, explaining, and predicting processes of creating market oriented venture ideas, business concepts and growth of exploitation, based on social system theory. Leading the development of this approach into a new multi-level-multidimensional, and multi actor perspective on market oriented entrepreneurship. Methodological approach is neo-functionalistic, thriving on tensions between neo-positivistic and moderately constructivist methods of action research versus (quasi-) experimentation, using case studies, surveys as well as large quantitative databases.
