ABSTRACT

[...]there is an increasing representation of women scholars. [...]Indian management scholars have used a variety of methods and they show capacity to employ sophisticated methods and analyses. The study concluded that inclusion results in an atmosphere of openness and dialogue within which participants can share aspects of themselves (the “me”) that might otherwise have been overlooked in the collective identity (the “we”) of the organization. [...]organizations can reap the benefits of diversity only through inclusive approaches and strategies. The results of the study indicated that there are five distinct stages in the development of a start-up entrepreneur, namely, pre-entrepreneurial stage, inflection point, cocoon period, initial stage, crisis stage and, depending upon the success factors and support received during crisis stage, either a success stage or failure stage.
