The document discusses the need to reframe concepts of sustainable development, power, leadership, and women's roles to address current global challenges. It argues that sustainable development requires an integral approach that considers ecological, economic, social, cultural, political, and spiritual dimensions. A new concept of power is proposed based on societal threefolding of separate but interdependent spheres of economy, politics, and culture. Associative leadership that harnesses collective intelligence is presented as an alternative to competitive leadership. The role of women needs to be reframed beyond taking on masculine roles, to mobilizing the "true feminine" through approaches like collective dialogue and conflict resolution.
Mapping the Ecosystem: The Evolution of the Global Women Entrepreneur Leaders...Ruta Aidis
There is increasing awareness that gender-blind business support measures do not support women’s enterprise development to the extent that they support its male equivalent. Focusing efforts specifically on women’s enterprise development, and measuring the impact of those efforts, is paramount. In order to address this gap, the 2015 Global Women Entrepreneur Leaders Scorecard was developed to raise awareness and identify actionable steps that can be taken to improve the conditions for high impact women’s entrepreneurship in 31 countries. In this presentation, we discuss the development and results of this initiative as well as some of the limitations and future steps for women’s entrepreneurship research.

Gloria Steinem also worked to raise awareness of women's rights issues through media in the 1970s.

In the current business world, women entrepreneurs are playing a vital role and they have become important part of the economic development and social progress.

Women's roles have significantly changed from the past to the present. In the past, women were subservient to men and had few rights.

However, full equality has yet to be achieved as traditional gender roles still influence society.

Female Occupational Crowding and Entrepreneurial Outcomes: Measurement and P...Ruta Aidis
Female entrepreneurs do not exist in a vacuum but are influenced by previous work experience and networks so it is no wonder that women’s entrepreneurial activity tends to be concentrated in specific sectors. Occupation crowding in terms of jobs being considered ‘male’ or ‘female’ jobs influences entrepreneurship crowding resulting in female entrepreneurial activities being concentrated in a small number of sectors. In this paper, we (1) Introduce a quantitative indicator that measures the male/female labor force balance and calculate it for a 30 country sample; (2) Identify the sectors which are most affected by occupational and entrepreneurship crowding; and (3) Discuss the policy implications of these findings.
In the last 10 years, Russia has imprisoned more than 3 million entrepreneurs... yet opportunities abound for business development. This presentation presents the opportunities, challenges, improvements and specific strategies taken by startups in the Russian landscape.
The Gender -Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index (GEDI) is the first ever index that ranks countries for 'high potential' female entrepreneurship development. It is catalyst for improving conditions for and changing mindsets towards high potential female entrepreneurs worldwide.
This presentation provides an overview of the theoretical foundations and framework of the Gender-GEDI and presents the results of the Gender-GEDI 2013 index. It also introduces the Gender-GEDI 2014 Index which will cover 30 additional countries.
Modeling Dynamic Capabilities and Corporate Entrepreneurship for Innovation ...Ruta Aidis
With limited resources and the need for constant innovation, entrepreneurship is perceived as an important factor for assuring economic growth and development at the venture and national levels. In this conceptual paper, we focus our analysis to corporate entrepreneurship as it contributes to the innovative processes within a venture. Though corporate entrepreneurship is a quite well explored phenomenon, few efforts have been made to elaborate on the antecedents and cohesion between dynamic capabilities and corporate entrepreneurship especially for high growth economies. This paper aims to explore the role of the dynamic capabilities as the antecedent of corporate entrepreneurship and the nature of the cohesion between them. The authors model the cohesion between dynamic capabilities and corporate entrepreneurship and argue that it generates business innovations that in turn generate aggregate demand and growth of the economy.
The document introduces the Environment and Gender Index (EGI), which was created to monitor countries' implementation of global agreements regarding gender and the environment. It evaluates 72 countries across 6 categories related to livelihoods, ecosystems, gender rights/participation, governance, education/assets, and self-reported activities. The EGI found that gender data remains limited but gender policies seem to be improving representation and gender-responsive projects. It also identified gaps that countries and organizations should work to fill through better data collection on issues like women in leadership, employment, and technology access. The creator plans to expand country coverage and refine the EGI methodology over time.

Sustainable Logistics for Cost Reduction_ IPLTech Electric's Eco-Friendly Tra...
The Quest for the Entrepreneurial North Star
1. The Quest for the
Entrepreneurial
North Star…
A country discovers the GEDI Index
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
2. Once upon a time,
• Not too long ago, there was an island
country,
• Who had prospered and wanted to prosper
again!
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
3. HOWEVER…
• Times had changed and its old economic
model wasn’t working
• In the new order ENTREPRENEURSHIP was
the vehicle for job creation and economic
growth
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
4. Country X pondered…
• How to foster market-expanding, export-
oriented, innovative entrepreneurship that
would lead to economic growth?
• What are the best strategies?
• What is the most efficient approach?
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
5. So, the Quest began !!
and country X found ….
A number of internationally recognized indices:
• The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM)
• The World Bank’s Ease of doing business Index
• The World Economic Forum’s Global
Competitiveness Index
They all looked promising…
…..yet, something was missing
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
6. Country X realized it had
discovered false truths…
based on the
• Individualistic Fallacy
• Ecological Fallacy
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
7. The Individualistic Fallacy
assumes that
• countries are king-sized individuals
• the wider social systems do not exhibit
any characteristics beyond those played
out by individuals
(Acs, Autio, Szerb 2011; Hofstede 2001:21; Seligson 2002: 273)
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
8. The Ecological fallacy
assumes that
• collective-level attributes are directly reflected
in the attitudes, aspirations, and abilities of
the individual (Javidan, House, Dorfman, Hanges, &
Luque, 2006; Robinson, 1950; Seligson, 2002).
• individual action is assumed to be fully
defined by the country’s entrepreneurial
framework conditions.
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
9. In sum…
• The existing indices take a limited view of
entrepreneurship
• None combine Individual and Institutional
issues
• Even though, it is clear that both significantly
contribute to entrepreneurship development!!
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
10. However,
Country X continued
its Quest…
Searching near and far
But was getting weary
And was just about to give up when it
discovered…
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
11. THE GEDI INDEX!!
• The Global Entrepreneurship and Development
Index (GEDI) which:
– Combines both individual-level and institutional-level
data;
– Includes the novel Penalty for Bottleneck
methodology;
– Indentifies a country’s strengths and weaknesses;
– Ranks countries according to their relative scores;
– Indicates which improvements would have the biggest
effect on increasing a country’s entrepreneurial
performance.
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
12. The Penalty for Bottleneck (PFB)
• Simulates the notion of a bottleneck for
entrepreneurship performance
• Which is a more realistic approach since index
components are never fully substitutable for
one another – for example, increasing the
availability of risk capital will not influence
gaps in education!
• The penalty given is larger if differences
between component scores are higher.
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
13. GEDI’s structure

16. Country X bought a copy of
the GEDI Index book
• Overjoyed, it began to read…
– Its country summary
• But pretty soon, it needed some help…
• So it called out for assistance!
R. Aidis - CEPP (2012)
17. And, the GEDIs appeared…
• Producing a country analysis!
• Based on country X’s goal – which country was
its aspiration? Which country was its North
