International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship Best Paper Award
Professor Sara Carter from the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow accepted the IJGE award for best paper with her co-author, Dr Cristina Díaz from the Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, Spain. The paper was entitled, ‘Resource-seeking behaviour among small business owners: Is gender an issue?’ The paper will undergo the double-blind peer review process after which it will hopefully be printed in the new, International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship in 2009
The paper was presented at the DIANA symposium, held in Belfast on Tuesday 4th November 2008. The DIANA International Project is committed to advancing knowledge about the status of women’s entrepreneurship around the world. Established in 2003 in partnership with ESBRI (Entrepreneurship and Small Business Research Institute, Sweden), the project involves leading researchers from 16 different countries who collectively aim to provide a platform from which to develop, conduct and share a global research agenda dedicated to answering questions about women entrepreneurs and growth-oriented businesses.
