Summary: This study examines the contribution of a gendered workforce to corporate entrepreneurship initiatives worldwide. The findings suggest that gender inequality reduces the development of corporate entrepreneurship for both women and men. Furthermore, there are differences in entrepreneurial activity between genders. The study calls for continued efforts to reduce gender inequalities at the national and corporate level, and for organizational leaders to promote entrepreneurial behavior among women and men.

Summary: This study explores the impact of gender diversity in management positions and on the board of directors on inclusive innovation using expectation states theory, and examines the relationship between inclusive innovation and firm performance based on signaling theory. Using a comprehensive panel data of European manufacturing companies over a 10-year period, we find evidence that gender diversity in management positions and the presence of at least one woman on the board positively affect inclusive innovation. Our results also demonstrate the economic value of inclusive innovation, as it positively influences firm performance. Implications for theory and managerial practice are discussed.

Summary: This article reviews recent energy research that engages with critical sexuality, gender, and feminist theories. It finds that these theories are considered in three ways: by identifying and framing the problem, designing implementation and governance processes, and offering long-term visioning and ideals. Emerging scholarship provides valuable insights on the unequal treatment of women and other minority groups.

Summary: This paper applies institutional theory and feminist institutionalism to study women proposing to their male partners and examines how shifts in gender norms change heteronormative institutions. The research discovers that reverse proposals can set precedence for new standards and norms in a traditional patriarchal institution, allowing it to appear progressive and remain relevant. However, women face a double bind as they are encouraged to formalize their heteronormative relationships through marriage but are chastised for initiating it themselves.

Summary: This commentary emphasizes the continued importance of feminist theory in understanding gendered violence and examines how four articles in a special issue engage with feminist theory in exploring the relationship between gender and power. The concept of gender and power is deemed critical in feminist analysis and should be conceptualized as interconnected on different levels. Furthermore, the commentary discusses the necessity of accounting for intimate partner violence in LGBTQ lives and the implications of these articles for future research in developing stronger theories of gendered violence.

Summary: This paper examines the career trajectories of highly educated Turkish women who migrated to the US with their husbands for the sake of their spouse's job or education opportunities. The study finds that these women faced constraints in pursuing their own career ambitions in the US, leading to more modest career paths than they had expected. These constraints were a result of overlapping systems of oppression, which presented barriers to their career advancement and pushed them towards reproductive labor.

Summary: In this research, the learning curves approach was applied to help policy managers make decisions on protectionism or competitive measures to reduce energy prices. By estimating the competitiveness parameters of the main energy resources, such as photovoltaics, wind, biomass, hydro, nuclear, natural gas, oil, and coal, the study recommended specific energy policies to lower costs. The learning curves approach considered the effects of learning by doing, scale, and learning by searching. The results showed that different factors contributed to cost reductions in various energy technologies.

Summary: The push towards renewable energy sources has raised questions about the distribution of costs and benefits. This study examines the disparities in solar PV deployment across different dimensions, such as ethno-racial composition, income, and rural-urban status, using comprehensive data on residential solar PV installations in New York State. The findings reveal notable differences in adoption rates across these dimensions, with significant changes in deployment gaps between 2010 and 2020. While minority-majority tracts have caught up and surpassed white-majority tracts in PV adoption rates, disparities in deployment based on income and rural-urban status have remained. The study also highlights the influence of local policies and market processes on distributional outcomes in PV deployment.
