As one factor, Moisala has examined the significance of childhood experiences in the path of entrepreneurship, and conducted an extensive comparative study on Finnish and Estonian students’ entrepreneurship orientations. Moisala's research results can be utilised for developing entrepreneurship studies as well as identifying factors affecting exceptional inclination for growth.

According to my research, we can start studying future entrepreneurs’ business opportunity processessooner than previously thought, and people participating in the research can also be active operators and not just passive subjects’, says Moisala.
