Research Handbook on Gender and Innovation by Gry A Alsos

Research Handbook on Gender and Innovation by Gry A Alsos

Innovation is seen as one of the main engines of economic growth. This Handbook explores the nexus between innovation and gender by providing a wide range of studies from different analytical and methodological perspectives and from various regional and industry contexts and draws implications for a gender-inclusive innovation policy.

'The collection of papers in this book make a unique contribution to our knowledge on gender and innovationIt reviews and critiques extant research and fruitfully questions essentialist assumptions of gender and the male gendering of concepts and practices. The papers provide ample empirical evidence from many countries over the world which clearly demonstrate that neither gender nor innovation can be fully understood without putting it into its institutional context - which varies across places.'
--Helene Ahl, Jonkoping University, Sweden

'This is very welcome text which addresses a gap in current research regarding the influence of gender upon women's entrepreneurship and innovation. The impressive collection of expert authors have addressed a wide range of issues illustrating the diversity of this field, challenging prevailing assumptions regarding masculinity and innovation whilst revealing pathways for a future research agenda. I fully endorse and recommend this text as an important addition to the contemporary innovation literature.'
--Susan Marlow, University of Nottingham, UK

'Gender and innovation are seldom discussed together because innovation is considered a neutral construct. This book examines aspects of gender in innovation across multiple contexts, entrepreneurial businesses, organizations, policy and design, that for the first time highlights where gender matters in innovation. This book will stimulate important research going forward.'
--Candida Brush, Babson College
