We are on a relentless quest for knowledge, understanding, and intellect so that we can apply all that we discover to our lives and share it with others. Therefore, research is infused into Effició’s business model. To support our research objective, inward and outward growth of TOTAL personhood, each for-profit program Effició provides is tied to an outreach initiative. When you invest in learning with Effició through our education, you’re not only growing within, but you’re also helping others to grow, and much more, through our research, teaching, and outreach.
We are currently researching the following topics:
- The psychological techniques entrepreneurs use to gain market share
- Psychology, linguistics, and entrepreneurial positioning
- Identifying the major drivers and inhibitors of entrepreneurial creativity
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) in scaling small business operations
- What alternative operational structures work for small-scale firms
- Social media communication models for B2B and B2C
- The Role of women-friendly firms in Sustaining Competitive Advantage
All research will be available for public download once published. To access the findings as soon as they become available, subscribe to our private list below. If you want to learn more about our research collaboration projects, call 1-866-934-CORE.
