Charting New Directions In Entrepreneurship Research, Vishal K. Gupta, Golshan Javadian

New England Journal of Entrepreneurship

Like all peer-reviewed journal articles, the papers published here were subjected to rigorous peer review and editorial oversight. This screening was in addition to the fact that authors could submit papers to the special issue of New England Journal of Entrepreneurship only if the paper had previously been presented at an Eastern Academy of Management (EAM) conference (either in the United States or internationally). Thus, each of the articles in this special issue has been through at least two independent peer-review processes, one at an EAM conference and another at NEJE. This rigorous two-tier procedure resulted in a selection of …

Furthermore, we found that household income is not …

New England Journal of Entrepreneurship

Deploying a feminist framework, we suggest that understanding the “gender gap” in entrepreneurship requires focus on institutional and structural barriers women entrepreneurs face. Existing studies of women entrepreneurs often compare women with men without considering how gender and gender relations impact the very concepts and ideas of entrepreneurship. We propose, therefore, a conceptualization of entrepreneurship that illuminates gender bias and calls attention to the interrelated individual, institutional, and structural barriers …
