Beskrivning

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.

Recensioner i media

'Starting with the assumption of ecosystem homogeneity, the authors explore gender across the multi-level elements of entrepreneurial ecosystems using insights from feminist scholarship. The book develops a typology of ecosystems reflecting the dynamic interactions of gender across levels, giving insights into how gender matters and providing new directions for theory development and research. A thoughtful and important read for anyone studying entrepreneurship.' Candida G. Brush, Franklin W. Olin Distinguished Chair of Entrepreneurship, Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship, Babson College- Entrepreneurship Division
