Even though the number of working women has steadily increased over
the last few years, women are still significantly under-represented
in STEM activities (i.e. mathematics, informatics, science and
technology). In order to eliminate this under-representation,
numerous education policies and corporate initiatives, particularly
in the recent past, have been aimed at increasing women's
enthusiasm for STEM activities and professions. According to the
latest surveys, however, it is clear that these efforts have not
yet led to the desired success. Compared to their male
counterparts, women continue to do fewer STEM activities. One
possible reason for this is that relatively little is yet known
about the concrete impact of the above education policies on
working with innovation and technology: What are the gender
differences between women and men? Is it enough to recognize these
differences, or should these differences ideally not only be
recognized, but also treated appropriately or even encouraged? This
anthology deals with current topics in technology and innovation
management against the background of these and other
gender-relevant aspects. Empirical analyses and experiments in
collaboration with companies from various sectors provide a sound
scientific basis on which new results and findings are presented:
How do women and men deal with creativity and competition? How are
technologies applied and how can differences in access to
technology be deduced? Answers to these and other questions help
decision-makers in politics and business to proactively use the
differences between women and men to motivate women to work in the
STEM field and to strengthen them by acknowledging existing
differences.
