Michael H. Morris Biography

Michael H. Morris is a professor of entrepreneurship and social innovation at the University of Notre Dame's Keough School of Global Affairs, where he is a faculty member of the McKenna Center for Human Development and Global Business. Morris has developed three university entrepreneurship programs that have been ranked among the top 10 in the United States and have received global recognition for excellence. Before joining Notre Dame, Morris served as a professor of entrepreneurship at Syracuse University, Oklahoma State University, the University of Florida, and the University of Cape Town. His work in poverty reduction is informed by his experience creating the first academic department of entrepreneurship at Syracuse University and the first school of entrepreneurship at Oklahoma State.

Morris has authored 18 books, 26 book chapters, and more than 140 articles in peer-reviewed journals on topics such as entrepreneurship education, social innovation, and poverty alleviation. His notable works include "Entrepreneurial Intensity: Sustainable Advantages for Individuals, Organizations, and Societies," "Corporate Entrepreneurship & Innovation" (co-authored with Donald Kuratko and Jeffrey Covin), and "Poverty, Disadvantage and the Promise of Enterprise: A Capabilities Perspective." He co-edits the Prentice-Hall Entrepreneurship Series and serves as editor of the Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship. Morris coordinates the Experiential Classroom, a clinic focused on teaching entrepreneurship through experiential learning.

Morris's work centers on leveraging entrepreneurship for social change. At Notre Dame, he directs the Urban Poverty and Business Initiative, which operates in more than 50 cities globally, and the Global Partnership for Poverty and Entrepreneurship, a collaboration among faculty, public policy experts, and nonprofit leaders. He also coordinates the Entrepreneurship Empowerment in South Africa Program, which enables students to work with historically disadvantaged entrepreneurs in Cape Town. The South Bend Entrepreneurship and Adversity Program, which Morris established, provides consulting, mentoring, and training to support small businesses and ventures, particularly for individuals facing economic or systemic disadvantages.

Morris has received multiple honors in the field of entrepreneurship education and social innovation. He is a past president of the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship and has received the Edwin & Gloria Appel Prize for contributions to entrepreneurship, the Academy of Management's Dedication to Entrepreneurship Award, and the Leavey Award from the Freedoms Foundation for impact on private enterprise education. Morris has also been recognized with the Legacy Award from the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers and was named Entrepreneurship Educator of the Year by the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship. He received a mayoral proclamation from the City of South Bend for his leadership of the South Bend Entrepreneurship and Adversity Program, which has graduated more than 400 participants.
