USING REDUNDANCY ANALYSIS TO EXPLAIN INTENTIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN INCUBATORS: A GENDER PERSPECTIVE Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship Pub Date : 2023-03-01 KRISTIN BURTON, RIMI ZAKARIA, YEFENG WANG
A key support mechanism for early-stage entrepreneurs is business incubator programs, which provide tailored assistance and a conducive work environment for new business development. However, incubators are not created equal in terms of their effectiveness and reach. Extant research on business incubation is also largely gender-neutral. In addition, a scholarly gap exists when it comes to our understanding

LAWNS AND LEMONADE: EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GENDERED CHILDPRENEUR ACTIVITIES, ADULT ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS AND INDUSTRY PREFERENCE Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship Pub Date : 2022-07-10 GLORIA L. SWEIDA, CYNTHIA L. SHERMAN, CHRISTINE M. WEINKAUFF DURANSO, ROBYN A. BERKLEY
Female entrepreneurs have moved into all industry sectors in recent years; yet most start businesses in only a few of these sectors, such as education and healthcare. We argue this is, at least in part, because gender role stereotypes permeate self-concepts and behaviors very early in life. Therefore, when children engage in entrepreneurial activities (which we term ‘childpreneurship’), they choose
