KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 March 3, 2023 \u2013 Nancy Forster-Holt, assistant professor of innovation and entrepreneurship at the 溏心vlog免费B站, will join a virtual panel of leading women scholars hosted by the International Council for Small Business on Wednesday, March 8, as part of International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Council for Small Business\u2019 2023 theme for International Women\u2019s Day is \u201cThe Impact of Women Scholars on the Entrepreneurial Landscape.\u201d The virtual event will run from 10 a.m. to noon. To register, go to the ICSB website<\/a>. The event is sponsored by Seton Hall University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forster-Holt\u2019s presentation, \u201cResearch Lanes and Intersections,\u201d will focus on her research in pedagogy, Main Street business innovation, family business ownership, and their intersection with her interests in aging, mortality and retirement. Her interests have influenced her research and teaching, including an upcoming paper that uses palliative care to reimagine the role of letting go in family business ownership and the inclusion of an ageism workshop as part of an entrepreneurship class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developer of the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Business\u2019 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program, Forster-Holt will join scholars from Seton Hall, Iowa State University, Texas Tech University, and the University of Delaware in the moderated discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very humbling to be invited to participate in this exciting discussion,\u201d said Forster-Holt. \u201cI feel like a junior scholar still and it\u2019s exciting when there\u2019s affirmation that something that\u2019s a real labor of love speaks to other people. I always hope that someone sees something in my work that they can use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forster-Holt\u2019s research, which includes small business owner succession, gender, and business ownership and its intersection with family, has been presented nationally and internationally, including in a TEDx溏心vlog免费B站 presentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among her numerous teaching interests, she developed an exercise \u2013 \u201cstudent side hustle\u201d \u2013 for an introductory class on innovation and entrepreneurship in which students launch their own business using the marketplace platform KANU, an app developed by two 溏心vlog免费B站 students. The exercise took first place in the Entrepreneurship Experiential Education Competition at the 2022 convention of the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship. Numerous universities have since adopted the exercise and platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other scholars on the ICSB panel will discuss their own research interests, work and backgrounds. \u201cThere are some incredible ideas. None of our topics are the same. None of our methods are the same. None of our passions are the same,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m really excited about the entrepreneurial landscape. I feel like we\u2019re standing on the shoulders of giants because there are a lot of things known about entrepreneurship \u2013 but there are a lot of things that still aren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forster-Holt, who holds a Ph.D. and master\u2019s degree from the University of Maine, is also a certified management accountant, registered financial gerontologist and is a member of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Aging Fellows research consortium and a research associate for the University of Maine\u2019s Center on Aging. She and her husband, Steve, own the manufacturing company Shaw & Tenney, which has won grants from the Maine Technology Institute for innovative projects in the manufacturing of forestry products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Council of Small Business, which has dedicated its Journal for Small Business Management to the focus of \u201cThe Impact of Women Scholars on the Entrepreneurial Landscape,\u201d has taken a leadership role in advancing new and highly relevant research of women scholars in the discussion of women entrepreneurs in a global context and suggesting future avenues of research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
