The candidate through this very good piece of work demonstrates its ability to understand complex problems, previous research performed in the area and significant data collection.Overall, the described work is fulfilling the requests of a thesis of a very good standard".Prof. Aurélie Aurilla Arntzen BechinaBuskerud University College, Oslo, Norway"The thesis under consideration is of particularly high relevance to the current and future economic situation and innovation trends. There is a remarkably exhaustive literature review on the innovation context in the UK, entre- and intrapreneurship, leadership, as well as related motivation factors and incentives. Both from the exhaustiveness and the level of detail of citation it becomes clearly evident that the author has invested a tremendous effort in digging deep into existing research published in the thesis’s area. The works cited are indeed highly relevant ones. Furthermore, the author has succeeded in consistently applying the gained insights all across the rest of the work.Globally speaking, I consider Ms. Orchard’s scientific contribution significant in terms of its giving a profound grounded theory based study of a significant subject with increasing relevance both in SMEs and large groups. This can serve other researchers as a valuable resource for reflecting their own works against the particular challenges that we can find in a real-world industrial environment. At the same time it is an interesting resource for practitioners to position themselves with respect to other market players, and get inspired".Dr. HDR Andreas RielCentre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Grenoble, France Show less
