About Anna Kremel
I am a senior lecturer in business administration and deputy head of School. My research interest concerns entrepreneurship linked to policy such as the innovation system and regional development. I am particularly interested in women's entrepreneurship and gender equality issues. Other areas of interest are sustainability issues and the circular economy.
I have a master's degree in business administration from Örebro University in 2004 and have run my own company for about ten years while working on my thesis. I defended my thesis at Mälardalen University in 2017 with a thesis that deals with small and medium-sized enterprises' needs and use of the innovation system and business advice in the start-up phase.
During 2019-2022, I have run two projects on the role of the consumer in the circular economy. One of these in collaboration with Returpack where we studied the Deposit refund system for bottles and cans. The second project was a literature review of research on food packaging. Both projects were funded by FORMAS.
The subjects I teach are mainly organization and entrepreneurship but also other subjects in business administration. In 2024 I received the excellent teacher award.
