About me
Amore joined UWE in 2021 as a Senior Lecturer in International Business after completing a Ph.D. and Research Fellowship at the University of Birmingham. Her Ph.D. explores firm competitiveness in the project-based industry. She explores micro, meso, and macro relationships in the shipbuilding project to conceptualise the governance of project-based value chains (P-GVCs).
Prior to joining UWE, Amore worked with the University of Oxford (Technology and Management Centre for Development) where she led the qualitative part of the IDMODEL investigation - Inclusive Digital Business Model funded by ESRC. Based on the project rollout in the UK, China, and Bangladesh, it was found that an innovative digital technology-based business model helps facilitate the development of social enterprises. A mobile application called Haate Haat was developed to help the marginalised start an entrepreneurial journey with minimum capital (available on Google Play Store).
Amore presented her research at various international academic conferences including the British Academy of Management (BAM) and the Academy of International Business (AIB) among others. Her paper titled 'The bigger the better? Firm-based analysis of growth and innovation within the shipbuilding industry in Indonesia' won the best paper award at the International Conference on Management in Emerging Markets. Before joining academia, she spent a few years working in the oil and gas sector in Southeast Asia.
She welcome Ph.D. applications in the broad areas of international business, global value chains, global production networks, entrepreneurship, and businesses in Southeast Asia.
Amore is a member of the British Academy ECR Network and the Regional Studies Association
