Professor Nancy Koehn:
Women and the Industrial Revolutions
|
 |
| |
Nancy Koehn, professor of business administration
at the Harvard Business School, explores the role of women within
the context of American history, the industrial revolutions, and the
information era. Offering a definition of entrepreneurship as “the
relentless pursuit of opportunity beyond resources currently controlled,”
Professor Koehn asks why women are so interested in entrepreneurship
as a goal in their work and their life. Citing statistics that detail
the great progress achieved by women in obtaining positions of entrepreneurial
leadership, Professor Koehn analyzes how women seized opportunities
presented by three industrial revolutions occurring during the last
two hundred and fifty years of American business and economic history. |
