Suggested MBA research questions

  2. Which sustainability or climate-adaptation practices do DAFT businesses report?
  3. Are those practices associated with first renewal, five-year persistence, revenue bands, or hiring?
  4. How do survey findings compare with CBS disclosure-cleared aggregates for U.S.-born/self-employed entrepreneurs, if available?
