Drs. Jeffrey Robinson, Sammie Robinson, and Laquita Blockson have set out on what promises to be a ground breaking study of African American Women Entrepreneurs.
A working paper is available. Here’s its description.
The current literature on minority entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial growth all speak little to the unique experiences and contributions of African-American women. Our study discovers and interprets the economic and sociological factors that account for the viability, growth, and sustainability of African-American women-led entrepreneurial ventures. This paper draws upon extensive group and individual interviews of African-American women entrepreneurs conducted between March 2004 and March 2005 as part of a two-year, multi-phase project. Our findings have implications for how scholars may reconsider the traditional views of minority entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial growth. We conclude with a discussion of international implications of this research.Contact us for a copy of this paper by emailing: info@jeffreyrobinsonphd.com
