Book Description
The number of minority and women business enterprises is growing by the minute. In fact, over the past decade, the number of minority owned businesses and women owned businesses in the United States grew by nearly 50 percent. While corporations are turning to diverse suppliers more frequently, there are an overwhelming number of enterprises vying for these contracts. In this increasingly competitive market, diverse suppliers must find ways to set themselves apart from their competitors in order to access procurement opportunities. The key to separating your minority or women owned business from the pack is minority and women business enterprise certification. Used by corporations as a method for weeding out unqualified candidates, MWBE certification gives businesses a competitive edge. MWBE certification is also the key to accessing government contracts designated for diverse suppliers. In this book you'll learn how to apply for MWBE certification, the benefits of MWBE designation, and receive information on how to access contracting opportunities with local, state, and federal government agencies. You'll also hear the real life experiences of several women whose businesses took off after they became certified as women business enterprises. Brought to you by experts Pamela Williamson, executive director of the Women Business Enterprise Council-West and Robin Billups, board chairman of WBEC-West, this book is a must for minority and women business owners and operators looking for greater procurement opportunities. With this knowledge you'll have the tools necessary to outshine your competitors, build relationships with corporations, and grow your business by leaps and bounds.

Innovative Activity in Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business

Book Description
This volume examines the involvement of minority- or women-owned businesses in technology-based research, with particular focus on the differences in research outcomes in achieving commercialization. Specifically, the authors empirically investigate the correlation between technologies from projects funded through the Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and the minority or gender demographics of the owners of the businesses conducting the research. This study offers an opportunity to not only examine public-sector agencies’ investments in research, but also to investigate if there are race and/or gender gaps in such business’ participation in innovative activities. It also provides a means to understand innovation by minorities and women in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Investments in fundamental science and technology research and investments in human capital through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education are important building blocks of innovation. Two methods of fueling innovation are to 1) accelerate the commercialization of federally funded research and 2) ensure opportunities for underrepresented minorities and women in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Despite this understanding, there is still a disparity in the rates of educated men and women in STEM fields participating in entrepreneurship. Moreover, the link between underrepresentation of minorities and women across STEM fields correlates with entrepreneurial entry and performance. This book expands on these findings and estimates the probability that (1) a funded research project reaches completion, (2) the developed technology is commercialized, and finally (3) the commercialized technology is successful in the marketplace (i.e., the business gained revenue and market share from the technology).
