Bringing together scholars from around the world, this book
provides extensive coverage of the academic literature and research
on women's entrepreneurship policy. Featuring contributions from
members of the Global Women's Entrepreneurship Policy Research
Network, the book explores and critiques contemporary policy
instruments while also pointing toward potential policy solutions.
Chapters aim to deepen understanding of women's entrepreneurship
policy and raise awareness among policy makers, programme managers
and academics of the dangers associated with gender-blind
entrepreneurship policies. The book concludes that 'one size fits
all' policies that ignore the gender dimension do not support women
entrepreneurs effectively. Research-based and international in
approach, Women's Entrepreneurship Policy will be a useful guide
for academics and advanced students in the areas of
entrepreneurship, gender and management, diversity and management,
and international business. It will also be beneficial for policy
makers and those involved in designing and delivering women's
entrepreneurship programmes.
Social entrepreneurship is a growing area, and we frequently hear
of new ventures committed to social change. In academia, however,
social entrepreneurship has typically been taught as a 'version' of
entrepreneurship, ignoring the unique structure, challenges and
goals of the social venture. In their new book, Coleman and Kariv
draw on the latest theory and research to provide boundaries to the
definition of social entrepreneurship, discussing both what it is,
and what it is not. The book answers several key questions: Who are
social entrepreneurs? What is the process for identifying and
solving a social need? What are the differences between for-profit
and not-for-profit social ventures? What is the role of innovation?
How do we develop high performing firms? How do we measure success?
The focus on context allows students to appreciate how social
entrepreneurship develops and operates in different countries and
cultures, lending a global perspective to the book. Combined with
rich pedagogy and a companion website, it provides students with
all the learning tools they need to grasp this important subject.
You may be familiar with the success stories of Spanx, GoldieBlox,
and other women-owned businesses that have taken their markets by
storm. But, today, only two percent of women-owned firms generate
more than one million dollars annually. The Next Wave is here to
help women drive up that number. Drawing on the Kauffman Firm
Survey and many other sources, Susan Coleman and Alicia M. Robb
cull together data-driven advice for women-owned, growth-oriented
businesses as they finance their expansion. They not only consider
the unique approaches and specific concerns of female business
owners, but also take into account the growing pool of investors
who will play a role in selecting and grooming a new generation of
women entrepreneurs. Since growth-oriented firms typically require
external capital, the investor perspective is critical. Telling
entrepreneurs what the research means for them, outfitting them
with resources, and illustrating the road ahead with real world
cases, this book serves as a pioneering strategy guide for the next
wave of women who want to "go big" to bring home their goals.

the small business sector. According to the most recent data from

providing employment for 7.6 million people. "A Rising Tide"
