Hi everyone, and apologies for cross-posting.

Please join Prof. Banu Ozkazanc-Pan and Prof. Susan Clark Muntean as they speak about their newly published book, Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: A Gender Perspective (Cambridge University Press). The virtual event will take place Friday, November 12, 12-1 pm EST. You can register to attend here

Overview of the book: 

Based on extensive fieldwork, this book demonstrates how gender is an organizing principle of entrepreneurial ecosystems and makes a difference in how ecosystem resources are assembled and how they can be accessed. By bringing visibility to how ecosystem actors are heterogeneous across identities, interactions and experiences, the book highlights the role and complexity of individual, organizational, and institutional factors working in concert to create and maintain gendered inequities. Entrepreneurial Ecosystems provides research-driven insights around effective organizational practices and policies aimed at remedying gendered and intersectional inequalities associated with entrepreneurship activities and economic growth. Proposing a typology of four ecosystem identities, it highlights how some might be more amenable and organized towards gender inclusion and change, while others may be much more difficult to change, reorganize and restructure. It offers scholars, students, practitioners and policymakers insights about gender in relation to analyzing entrepreneurial ecosystems and for fostering inclusive economic development policies.

Thanks!
Banu
