E-Research on E-Entrepreneurs

I am working on a book chapter that will be included in a 2-volume reference set titled Women Entrepreneurship: New Management And Leadership Models. It will be published by Praeger Publications’ ABC-CLIO imprint.

My chapter is: “Putting the “E” in Entrepreneurship: Women Entrepreneurs in the Digital Age.”  The chapter will compare and contrast women entrepreneurs’ use of technology to build businesses and sell products and services that are “real-world” in nature and those that use  technology to build businesses and sell products and services that are “digital” in nature. Points of comparison will include the e-business strategy, options, models, choices and goals.

I am interested in the use of  communications technologies, not writing, accounting or productivity software. I am interested in use of synchronous (online meeting platforms, video calls or videoconferencing, chatting/texting, etc.) or asynchronous tools (Facebook, email, websites, forums, blogs/micoblogs, wikis, etc.). Since this is a qualitative study I am interested in experiences, thoughts, perceptions, ideas and feelings about what works and what is important in regard to communications technology and the business.

Naturally, I will conduct the interviews online! Interested in participating? Reply in the comment area.
