“…The stringent environmental regulations and carbon pricing would be crucial to limit dirty polluting industries. The results are in line with the subsequent studies, including, Aluko and Okuwa [74], Musango et al [75], Rola-Rubzen et al [76], Rosca et al [22], Brugere et al [77], and Nhamo and Mukonza [21]. These studies argued that through technological spillovers, women's empowerment would help improve environmental protection.…”

“…The provision of equal accessibility of farm technologies to women would help transform the agricultural sector to meet the food challenges. Rosca et al [22] argued that women social entrepreneurs are confined their strengths to addressing social issues while equally motivated to perform in the decision-making process to promote their economic development. Brugere et al [77] suggested that absorptive capacity and innovative technologies help transform women's abilities to perform better in agricultural farming.…”

“…These studies confirmed that women significantly played their economic role through accessing ICTs, microfinancing, tourism development, reproductive healthcare decisions, and business entrepreneurship activities. Secondly, the more significant number of earlier literature focuses on women's role in improving the global environment [18][19][20][21][22][23]. These studies argued that women's role in improving the global environment is merely possible when they fully acquired political autonomy, technology skills, reproductive healthcare treatments, organic agriculture production, energy value chain, financial literacy, and environmental awareness.…”

The role of women in economic development and the global environment is vital for progressing them towards the United Nations sustainable development goal (SDG-5) that emphasized the need to empower women in every walk of life. The study examines women’s autonomy in the sustainable development agenda under China’s open innovation system from 1975 to 2019. The study employed an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, vector autoregressive (VAR) Granger causality, and innovation accounting matrix to estimate parameters. The existing data are summarized and collated in the context of China to explain as a correlational study. The results show that women’s autonomy moderated with technology spills over to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and substantiate the hump-shaped relationship between them. The increased spending on research and development (R&D) activities, patent publications, and renewable energy consumption empowers women to be equipped with the latest sustainable technologies to improve environmental quality. The pollution haven hypothesis verifies a given country, where trade liberalization policies tend to increase polluting industries to set up their plants that engaged in dirty production that exacerbate GHG emissions. The causality estimates confirmed that technological innovations and renewable energy consumption leads to women’s autonomy. In contrast, females’ share in the labor force participation rate leads to an increase in renewable energy consumption. Thus, it is evident that there is a positive role of women in the country’s sustainable development.

“…However, some scholars have begun to explore female social entrepreneurship. Examples include studies of women's participation in social entrepreneurship (e.g., Huysentruyt, 2014;Kimbu & Ngoasong, 2016;Rosca et al, 2020;Teasdale et al, 2011;Terjesen, 2017). In quantitative studies of social entrepreneurship, gender tends to be included as a control variable in the statistical modelling (e.g., Cheah et al, 2019;Cohen et al, 2019) but questions remain whether, how and to what extent gender influences certain processes (e.g., ways of mobilizing resources, innovativeness) and outcomes (e.g., performance, intention) in social entrepreneurship.…”

In this Special Issue, we hope to reframe the conversation about context and bring back context to the front and centre of our way of knowing and theorizing in the field of social entrepreneurship. We philosophize about context and then propose a typology of context in the field of social entrepreneurship (broadly defined) and identify domains of context that constitute existing and fertile areas for future research. We reflect on the six papers in this special issue in relation to our context typology and conclude with several points about their novel contributions to theory, practice and policy in social entrepreneurship.

On the path to sustainable development: The nexus among owner gender diversity, energy management, and firms' innovation radicalness

et al. 2022

This research focuses on the part of sustainable development related to energy management and thus aims to find the missing piece in research on the role of owner gender diversity (OGD) in processes of energy management (EM) introduction and the creation of radical and incremental innovation. Employing the World Bank's Enterprise Survey 2019 data covering 4646 firms from 11 European countries, we confirm the hypothesis that OGD increases firms' chance to reach radical and incremental innovation. Contrary to the majority of prior studies, we reject the hypothesis that OGD increases firms' chance to introduce EM; rather, we empirically prove the positive effects of firms' value drivers and market pressure on EM. We also confirm the link between firms' introduction of EM and the creation of radical and incremental innovations. This study expands research into the gender diversity of the upper echelons, addressing recent calls to expand open innovation research into new research categories and identify the determinants of firms' introduction of EM.
