“Entrepreneurs and the ideas that they create are a growing engine of economies across the world. There are countries where has never been a tradition of entrepreneurship. You went to school and college, and you went to work for somebody else, you did not start your own business and people thought that if you did start your own business, it meant you couldn’t get a job anywhere. That is changing now. I am very optimistic about entrepreneurs generally and women entrepreneurs specifically. There is a huge market opportunity for women entrepreneurs. I teach a Owner/President Management Program and we are seeing more and more women entrepreneurs applying for this program. They are setting up their own network, because they are aware of gender-based challenges.YWEA can definitely contribute to the improvement of business relations and business performance.”

“I think that what you are doing in YWEA is really helping people create a multicultural network, and network diversity helps a lot in the way not just individuals perform but how firms perform. When your network is multicultural, you are less exposed to non-redundant ideas and this will help companies come up with good ideas in terms of their productive level and business models. The other thing that is crucialy important now is that the 21st century is the global century. People realized that they can not do business just with one country anymore. Being able to cross-cultural boundaries could be even more important in this century for innovation or even just for growth.”
Roy Chua, Professor in the Organizational Behavior Unit at the Harvard Business School. He teaches Leadership and Organizational Behavior course in the MBA program.

“I believe that an organization as YWEA can contribute to the improvement of business relations and business performance as well. One of the biggest challenges women face is access to networks. The others are access to capital and access to markets. Networks can help women to share learning, exchange best ideas, discuss failures and successes, and boost one another’s confidence through shared support. Powerful networks drive ideas and can spur innovation by pushing entrepreneurs to explore new avenues that may already have worked in other contexts. All of these positive effects can contribute to business performance.”
