Chapter contributions are now invited from scholars studying women’s entrepreneurship for an exciting new book, Women’s Entrepreneurship & Culture, to be published by Edward Elgar Publishing Inc. in 2020.

 

The Diana International Project[1] is committed to advancing knowledge about the status of women’s entrepreneurship around the world. This is the tenth book associated with the Diana International Project and will build on the success of the first book - Brush, C., Carter, N.M., Gatewood, E.J., Greene, P.G. and Hart, M. (eds.) (2006) Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs and their Businesses: A Global Research Perspective.

 

The objective of this book is to foster a provocative discussion about topics that generally fit within the general theme of women’s entrepreneurship and culture. We invite participants to investigate entrepreneurial activity among women in a variety of societal and cultural contexts, with a particular focus on exchanges between and among societies and cultures, cross-cultural comparisons, as well as the influence of culture on women’s entrepreneurship and the influence of women’s entrepreneurship on culture.

 

Chapter should be based on empirical or theoretical research. Possible topics could be related to the following:

 

·         The influence of culture on women’s businesses and business decisions, including innovation and job creation

·         The influence of women’s businesses shape on societies’ beliefs, norms, expectations, and development

·         How policies and programs might influence the connection between women’s entrepreneurship and culture

·         How cultural practices, categories, discourses, and labels impact support for women’s entrepreneurship

·         Women’s business development and growth and the influence of teamwork and the kinds of teams that women entrepreneurs build

·         Differences across minority groups and cultures that affect women entrepreneurs (e.g. Black, Asian, Latina, etc.) how these differences matter

 

We are aiming for an inclusive discussion on women’s entrepreneurship. Thus, proposals are particularly sought from researchers in geographic regions less represented in previous volumes, specifically Africa, Asia and South America. In addition, while it is likely that submissions will come from presenters who attended the previous Diana International Conference in Bangkok, Thailand (July 2018), manuscripts that were not presented at this Conference are certainly welcomed as well.
