Our influential research has looked at the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in Canada as they strive to innovate their businesses, take risks and grow global.

Released in 2016, this study debunks the myth that women entrepreneurs are risk-averse and describes their approach instead as “risk-rational.” Women entrepreneurs take a holistic approach to risk and focus on the implications of their decisions for the long-term sustainability of their businesses. This long-term view of growth is very compatible with the need to constantly innovate to achieve desired results. https://ideaconnector.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/A_Force_To_Reckon_With_EN.pdf
