Dr Whysnianti Basuki is an Associate Professor in Business in the Department of Business and Law at Southampton Solent University.
Whysni’s main teaching areas are management research methods and entrepreneurship. Her other responsibilities at the University are leading the Regenerative Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Research Group, serving as Postgraduate Research Lead for Business and Law, and supervising postgraduate taught students and PhD students.
In terms of research, Whysni’s main research interests are located within female entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurial intention. Whysni is very passionate in supporting female entrepreneurs to run and grow their business. In her works she seeks to develop understanding of the challenges/barriers that are faced by female entrepreneurs. Based on her research findings, she organised workshops for these female entrepreneurs with the aim to reduce the challenges/barriers these female entrepreneurs faced.
Still in research, Whysni was involved in research projects related to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention, such as 'How Higher Education Institutions in Europe Deal with the Quality Assurance of their Entrepreneurship Programmes', 'Mandatory Entrepreneurship Education and its impact on student’s entrepreneurial intentions', and 'Personal values in the formation of entrepreneurial motivations: a cross-country study'.
In terms of reviewing activities, Whysni has reviewed papers for publication for several entrepreneurship journals (e.g. Journal of Global Entrepreneurship Research, International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, Journal of Enterprising Communities: People and Places in the Global Economy, and the International Journal of Entrepreneurial Venturing) and conferences (eg, the Diana Female Entrepreneurship conference and Academy of Management). In addition, she is currently serving as a member of the Editorial Board of two international journals, and is a member of the Scientific and Publication Committee of the European University Network on Entrepreneurship.
In terms of organising conferences, Whysni has organised several, including the ESU (European University Network on Entrepreneurship) 2015 Conference and Doctoral Programme and annual Southampton Solent University Student Conference since 2022. Most recently, she organised the ESU 2025 Conference and Doctoral Programme, held on 1-6 September 2025. More information about the ESU2025 conference is available on the ESU website.
Whysni’s research interests are in the entrepreneurship topic areas (particularly female entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurial intention).
She successfully supervised five PhD students to complete their PhD. Currently, she is supervising two PhD students and is looking to supervise PhD students in these areas. Please contact Whysni to discuss your PhD project proposal.
