Download or read book Women Entrepreneurs Across Racial Lines written by Andrea Smith-Hunter and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the strengths of this book lies in the admirable literature reviews throughout the volume. The authors reviews vast amounts of literature on women entrepreneurs, and more specifically, studies involving women minority entrepreneurs. The nature of this task should not be underestimated, given the ever-expanding academic field of entrepreneurship and women s entrepreneurship in particular. I read this book as an academic, and would argue that it is of most use for academics (students and professors), and provides an up-to-date and well-researched portrait of women entrepreneurs in the USA and beyond. . . this book fills an important gap in the literature, not only because there is a growing population of women entrepreneurs, but also because of the growing number of minority women entering entrepreneurship. Jodyanne Kirkwood, Women in Management Review This book serves an important purpose. It draws attention to the need for further research on ethnic minority women entrepreneurs. Anne de Bruin, International Small Business Journal This monograph provides a very comprehensive study of women entrepreneurs in the US and in many industrialized and developing countries. . . Recommended. General readers; all levels of students; faculty and professionals. E.P. Hoffman, Choice In this book Andrea E. Smith-Hunter interweaves quantitative findings with qualitative depth, resulting in an informative and objective report of explanatory variables, differences and similarities among women entrepreneurs from unlike racial backgrounds. Among others, she develops models of human capital dimensions, network structures, and entrepreneurial success. Léo-Paul Dana, Journal of International Entrepreneurship Women entrepreneurs command an increasingly large presence at the international and national levels. A significant part of this impact is due to growing numbers of minority women becoming entrepreneurs. This volume provides some of the most comprehensive data to date on the topic of women entrepreneurs across racial lines. It offers a systematic and conceptual framework for understanding issues of network structures and human and financial capital, analyzed through a comparative analysis of minority and white women entrepreneurs. The book begins by looking at the historical and current contributions of women in the labor market, as well as literature related to women entrepreneurs. Subsequent chapters take a critical and in-depth look at white and minority entrepreneurs. Later chapters examine the status of women entrepreneurs in the US, followed by various analyses of their position in the global marketplace. The book concludes with a set of action tools to aid women entrepreneurs as they navigate the road to economic success. Through a well-chosen sample, rich analysis and insightful accounts, Andrea E. Smith-Hunter compellingly details the challenges and opportunities faced by women entrepreneurs in today s marketplace. Government agencies, researchers, entrepreneurs and those involved with the financial aspects of entrepreneurial ventures will find this volume of great interest.
Download or read book Enterprising Women written by Mary Hallward-Driemeier and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together new household and enterprise data from 41 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to inform policy makers and practitioners on ways to expand women entrepreneurs’ economic opportunities. Sub-Saharan Africa boasts the highest share of women entrepreneurs, but they are disproportionately concentrated among the self-employed rather than employers. Relative to men, women are pursuing lower opportunity activities, with their enterprises more likely to be smaller, informal, and in low value-added lines of business. The challenge in expanding opportunities is not helping more women become entrepreneurs but enabling them to shift to higher return activities. A central question addressed in the book is what explains the gender sorting in the types of enterprises that women and men run? The analysis shows that many Sub-Saharan countries present a challenging environment for women. Four key areas of the agenda for expanding women’s economic opportunities in Africa are analyzed: strengthening women’s property rights and their ability to control assets; improving women’s access to finance; building human capital in business skills and networks; and strengthening women’s voices in business environment reform. These areas are important both because they have wide gender gaps and because they help explain gender differences in entrepreneurial activities. It is particularly striking that while gender gaps in education tend to close with higher incomes, gaps in women’s property rights and in women’s participation in reform processes do not. As simply raising a country’s income is unlikely to be sufficient to give women equal ability to control assets or have greater voice, more proactive steps will be needed. Practical guidelines to move the agenda forward are discussed for each of these key areas.

You cracked the confidence code. You’re determined not to be a nice girl, but a #GirlBoss. You’ve learned you can’t have it all, but you still try anyway. You know all of this.

Whether you’re stuck in middle management, stalled in mid-career, or mulling over a major career change, sometimes the proverbial glass ceiling feels very real indeed—a barrier keeping you from fulfilling your potential. Unlike other books, which focus on fixing you, Kick Some Glass empowers you to break through your glass ceiling and guides you toward understanding your context and uncovering what you really want, what your definition of success is, what your values are, and how to set the goals to reach your potential. This is no one-size-fits-all career guide. It’s a top-to-bottom, inside-out, do-it-yourself makeover with the focus completely on you. In each chapter, you’ll be asked to evaluate specific parts of your work life, home life, personal strengths and weaknesses, past history and present obstacles, both internal and external, so you can: • Live your intention and design a meaningful life at any stage • Identify the underlying values that are the core of your being • Get comfortable with your personal power and understand what it means • Uncover the conscious and subconscious mental models that are holding you back • Take calculated risks through planful action with a clear direction • Let go of things you cannot control or change • Become more resilient, adaptable, and self-aware • Make the choices and tradeoffs necessary to fulfill your goals • Decide if it’s time to reinvent your career—and prepare for your next move • Find that elusive work-life balance that’s right for you • Create your own definition of success—and make it happen for you Best of all, you’ll be able to map out a career course for yourself that is based on your own definition of success, play and win by your own rules, and pay it forward by busting down doors for the next generation of women. In the end, this book will help you uncover who you truly are and approach your professional life in ways that are authentic and most meaningful to you—and no one else. After all, only you hold the answers. It’s time to Kick Some Glass.
Download or read book Women on Top written by Justin Sheridan and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: It is a well documented fact that there are few women in top executive positions in business organizations. In this research I examine the effect of having women in top executive positions on an organization's human qualities (such as being recognized as a best company to work for) and on its financial success. Using a ten-year content analysis of five different annual rankings generated by credible business publications, and a case study analysis, this research examines trends and predictors of corporate success as indicated by an organization's Fortune 500 ranking. Findings from this research offer compelling evidence on the impact of women in top executive positions on an organization's softer, human qualities, and on the proverbial, all-important bottom-line, its financial success. The contribution of this research is three-fold - 1) it uses a novel research methodology to answer an oft-asked business question, what makes organizations successful? Both the dependent measure and the predictors are derived from publicly-available annual rankings of companies; 2) it makes a strong case for the effect of an organization's human qualities on financial success; 3) its findings argue for greater gender diversity at the top echelons of corporate power, a finding supported by recent research on counter-stereotypical leaders (Matta and Folkes 2005, 2008).
Download or read book Women on the Line written by Miriam Glucksmann and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women on the Line is a pioneering ethnographic classic of the world of work in a British motor components factory. Miriam Glucksmann (aka Ruth Cavendish), a well-known contributor to the study of gender, work and employment, is for the first time revealed as the author, along with the identity of the company, product and factory. Recording the experience of migrant women from Ireland, the Caribbean, and the Indian subcontinent with the immediacy of a diary, this is a unique account from an observing participant of the daily routines of repetitive work, a strike led by women from below, and the temporalities of work, home, children and leisure. Glucksmann's vivid narrative of life on the assembly line is combined with an analysis of the intersections of gender, ethnicity and class that prefigures subsequent theoretical advances. This edition contains a new introduction situating the book in contemporary debates and developments and includes original photographs taken on the shop floor at the time.
Download or read book Women Overcoming O Syndrome written by Theresa M. Robinson and published by Master Trainer Tmr & Associates, LLC. This book was released on 2018-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories, experiences, and advice from crazy brave, fiercely resilient, stereotype-busting, insanely courageous, relentlessly determined, wildly successful women. Are you tired of others OVERjudging you? Do men at work talk OVER you? Are you OVERachieving and still being paid less than your male colleagues? Were you passed OVER for a promotion or a plum assignment? Is it hard for you to get OVER feelings of betrayal due to sabotage by a woman? Do you struggle with OVERcommitment of your time and energy? Are you so busy that you tend to unconsciously OVER isolate yourself from others? You are not alone... Theresa describes these experiences as O-Syndrome and offers hope as she shares stories from badass women collabHERators who have OVERcome As a follow-up to the first in the series--O-Syndrome: When Work is 24/7 and You're Not, this book gives voice to the "her story" experiences of women across racial and generational lines and offers up practical advice and tactics to help you overcome O-Syndrome. Praise for the Book "What a gift Theresa gives us--the telling of shared experiences from wise and courageous sisters. So many women will recognize themselves in these pages. It's from healing our most painful memories that we blossom into true self-actualized women. The only antidote to O-Syndrome is to be O-mnipotent Now is our time to rise to our unlimited power Thank you, Theresa for being the catalyst " -- Shary Hauer, Founder of The Hauer Group, Executive Advisory and Coaching Firm, and Author of Insatiable: A Memoir of Love Addiction WARNING. Sentiments expressed in the book are often crass and not veiled in political correctness, tactfulness, civility, or etiquette. If you're easily offended or blush at the mere suggestion of an off-color thought or remark, then this book is not for you. If you're quick to claim "male-bashing" or discrimination, move on. The former is admittedly harsh, while the latter is illegal. If any of this applies to you, stop reading now. Each collabHERator was encouraged to just say it like it is and how she feels it--the good, the bad, and the ugly--without apology. So, in the spirit of full disclosure, I ask you to please refrain from judgment. Here's a sample of "Get Real" statements sprinkled throughout the book: I'll just say that I'm so relieved O-Syndrome has nothing to do with orgasm, LOL Because haven't we women already suffered enough? You probably won't even include this in the book, but we have to laugh about some things in order to not cry about all things. -- Pat, a collabHERator I speak up to both men and women. I'm like my grandmother, who reached a point where she didn't give a damn. She spoke her mind to whomever. She had no hesitation about saying exactly what she felt and exactly what she thought. -- Kim, a collabHERator It's not just about women realizing we have voices. It's about others shutting up long enough to recognize that women have voices -- Jackie, a collabHERator Women are judged and scrutinized for how we look. We're too sexy or not sexy enough. We're too pretty or not pretty enough. We're too fat or not thin enough. One day at work, I overheard two men in our caf talking about how overweight this woman was. A man can be bald, fat, and ugly, and it's a nonissue -- Christie, a collabHERator Nothing is more uncomfortable than an old-ass man looking at you as if you're a snack. -- Ayana, a collabHERator
