There
is increased attention from media, policymakers, and academia to the role and
behavior of women in business. This is mainly due to women's increasing
participation and role in the corporate world, as managers, leaders, and
founders. Despite these trends, women are still underrepresented in many
industries, among leaders, on boards of directors, and their corporate behavior
seems to be different as well, with their businesses experiencing high failure
rates, and showing a low likelihood to join family businesses. Thus, recent research
has paid much attention to understanding the drivers and challenges that women face
in the business sphere, and their impact on businesses, innovation, and society.
In this seminar, we will discuss the recent research on women and gender in
business.

There is growing attention from the media, policymakers, and academia regarding the role of women and other minorities in business. This is largely due to their increasing participation in entrepreneurial activities, family businesses, and corporate spheres. However, despite these trends, women and other minorities remain underrepresented in many industries and on boards of directors. Their businesses tend to experience higher failure rates, and they are less likely to join family businesses. As a result, researchers have focused on understanding the drivers and challenges faced by women and other minorities in the business world, as well as their impact on businesses, innovation, and society. In this seminar, we will explore recent research on women and other minorities in business.
This seminar has two main learning goals: First, the students will acquire a profound knowledge of the research field of women and diversity in business, including qualitative and quantitative research. Second, the students will obtain the skills of scientific working and writing.
