“…Gender stereotypes play a fundamental role as mediators in women ICT's use, educational decision and professional careers in technological fields. Literature has explained the low representation of women in STEM education and technical positions due to their lower perception of their scientific abilities, their own self-conscious and social expectations, lack of interest and negative attitudes towards technology fields (Sáinz et al 2016;Yeo and Grant 2019). Less women with ICTs degrees impacts on female ICTs sectorial workers, producing an insufficient critical mass that might be promoted.…”

“…Less women with ICTs degrees impacts on female ICTs sectorial workers, producing an insufficient critical mass that might be promoted. Likewise, the fourth technological revolution have split ICT profession into two profiles, technical or non-technical with hybrid skills (Whitehouse and Diamond 2005) where women tend to gravitate towards 'technically soft' areas where is harder to climb by the leader escalator (Yeo and Grant 2019;Segovia-Pérez et al 2019b;Tabuwe et al 2013;World Economic Forum 2016). Similarly, in the tourism…”

“…Gender roles influence conceptualization of women as less competent, with a lack of self-confidence, experience and capacity for leadership positions (Cuadrado et al 2015;Reskin and Bielby 2005), but also as not interested in STEM positions and less confidence on their technological capacity (e.g. Sáinz et al 2016;Yeo and Grant 2019).…”

The evolution of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) continues generating paradigm-shifts in the tourism industry, and the incorporation of gender diversity in the managing bodies of hospitality and tourism firms can become a factor of critical success. Nevertheless, women's under-representation on decision-making positions in ICT or high-tech organizations (double gender gap) in the tourism industry has been hardly evaluated. The aim of this paper is to extend the understanding of the impact of this double level of discrimination at a vertical and horizontal level. The impact of stereotypes, gender roles and gendered organizations become the theoretical framework on this study. The biggest multinationals in the tourism industry were classified according to Eurostat's definition of high-tech services in three intensive technological levels (High-Tech Knowledge Intensive; Knowledge-Intensive and Less Knowledge-lntensive). The composition of their Board of Directors (BOD) and Management Teams (MT) was analysed, through their annual reports and online public related documents, and evaluated through Content Analysis. Based on a total of 55 tourism related firms, the results confirm the direct relationship between the technological level of the companies and the lower participation of women on MT and BOD. Results also show that Gender Diversity Programs promote women representation on the BOD and that this relation is bi-directional, i.e. more women on BOD imply more gender diversity programs.

“…At the same time, as human society enters the era of information networks, the importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for creating new engines for development, enhancing new driving forces of development, taking the road of innovation‐driven development, and improving innovation performance is becoming increasingly prominent (Ani & Ofikwu, 2019; Dzeng, Hsueh, & Watanabe, 2018; Yeo & Grant, 2019; Zhou, Gao, & Chimhowu, 2019). To this end, the Made in China 2025 Strategy takes the lead in making the new generation of information technology a priority over the 10 key areas.…”

This paper uses the World Bank survey database of Chinese enterprises to investigate the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on Chinese enterprises' innovation performance and the internal mechanism at the micro‐level. The results show that ICTs have significantly improved the innovation performance of Chinese enterprises. This conclusion does not change with the addition of other control variables and dummy variables, showing strong robustness. This study also finds that the impact of ICTs on enterprise innovation performance shows obvious heterogeneity across different industries and regions. We should enhance the transmission effect of ICTs on enterprise innovation performance.

Between Handholding and Hand-held Devices: Marketing Through Smartphone Innovation and Women’s Entrepreneurship in Post Conflict Economies in Times of Crisis

There is a wide gender gap in developing countries due to a range of cultural, economic and political barriers. This is even more accentuated in post conflict economies in times of crisis. Smartphones and mobile applications can help to narrow this gap. The economic and non-economic challenges facing women entrepreneurs and the role of smartphone innovation in overcoming these challenges and developing strong marketing strategies were investigated. We drew on the 5 M model to investigate how mobile applications can support women entrepreneurs. We conducted thirty interviews with women entrepreneurs in Iraq. The findings show that mobile applications provided these entrepreneurs with innovative ways to overcome many of the challenges they face in relation to running a business. The research provides theoretical contributions by developing an integrated, multilevel analytical model on women in entrepreneurship based on extending the 5 M model with new technology-related elements. Practical, policy and managerial implications are discussed.
