Jaume’s research focuses on the processes that underlie the creation and development of new ventures. His research examines the role that interpersonal factors such as power, social influence or persuasive communication play in key entrepreneurial activities, especially in the identification of opportunities and the mobilisation of external resources.

In his current research, he examines how storytelling, as a pitching strategy, influences the decisions of earlystage investors. His research also examines how patterns of power-dependence with external parties affect the resource mobilisation efforts of new ventures (published in the Journal of Business Venturing, 2012), how the tension between self and collective interests shape the entrepreneurial process (published in the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, 2007) and how the goals of key stakeholders affect the governance of family firms (published in Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, 2009).
