Book excerpt: In the 1980s & early 1990s, the Supreme Court's CrosonÓ & AdarandÓ decisions resulted in the dismantling of state & local government-sponsored minority & women business enterprise programs (M/WBEs). Many viewed these programs that used race & gender as factors in awarding contracts as ways to ensure a fair distribution of business opportunities to M/WBEs. There were allegations that M/WBEs continue to encounter practices in Pennsylvania that impede their ability to compete for & carry out contracts successfully. A forum was held in Philadelphia to review data on this issue, & meetings were held with agency representatives. This report is based on information gathered from the forum & follow-up efforts. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs) in the United States have had to overcome more challenges than their non-minority counterparts to achieve success. This holds especially true for Black or African American business owners who face a unique set of challenges as compared to other MBEs. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the most significant challenges faced by Black or African American business owners, and then form recommendations on how the Farrell Center for Corporate Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Pennsylvania State University can most effectively support Black or African American business owners in overcoming those challenges. Research for this thesis was conducted in the form of a literature review, as well as independent research via interviews. All research led to the same findings: that Black or African American owned businesses are challenged by lack of capital, markets, and education and networks. Although efforts have been made in the United States to overcome the disparities between Black or African American owned businesses and non-minority owned businesses, glaring gaps still exist with regards to access to funding, government contracting and mentorship. The Farrell Center for Corporate Innovation and Entrepreneurship - a program within the Smeal College of Business that is dedicated to serving entrepreneurs through education, outreach and research - can most effectively support Black or African American business owners by creating a multifaceted educational program, expanding its existing Propel Business New Venture & Innovation Program to include initiatives specifically targeted to Black or African American entrepreneurs and partnering with existing non-profit organizations. The implementation of these recommendations will not only inspire Black or African American students at the Pennsylvania State University to pursue entrepreneurship, it will also benefit Black or African American business owners nationwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversity research and scholarship has evolved over the past several decades and is now reaching a critical juncture. While the scholarship on diversity and inclusion has advanced within various disciplines and subdisciplines, there have been limited conversations and collaborations across distinct areas of research. Theories, paradigms, research models and methodologies have evolved but continue to remain locked within specific area, disciplines, or theoretical canons. This collaborative edited volume examines diversity across disciplines in higher education. Our book brings together contributions from the arts, sciences, and professional fields. In order to advance diversity and inclusion across campuses, multiple disciplinary perspectives need to be acknowledged and considered broadly. The current higher education climate necessitates multicultural and interdisciplinary collaboration. Global partnerships and technological advances require faculty, administrators, and graduate students to reach beyond their disciplinary focus to achieve successful programs and research projects. We need to become more familiar discussing diversity across disciplines. Our book investigates diversity across disciplines with attention to people, process, policies, and paradigms. The four thematic categories of people, process, policies, and paradigms describe the multidisciplinary nature of diversity and topics relevant to faculty, administrators, and students in higher education. The framework provides a structure to understand the ways in which people are impacted by diversity and the complicated process of engaging with diversity in a variety of contexts. Policies draw attention to the dynamic nature of diversity across disciplines and paradigms presents models of diversity in research and education.
