New SNF Project on New Venture Boards
The research team of Prof. Wincent, Grichnik, Hess and Malmström has been granted a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) funded research project on “Overcoming Gender Stereotypes in New Venture Board Networks”. The project will develop an understanding on director selection mechanisms at board formation, the role of networks, barriers toward women, and the effects of gender diversity on performance in technology startups.
