Global Entrepreneurship Monitor
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor is the largest and longest-standing globally focused entrepreneurship research. Researchers from Babson College, the London Business School, and a university team for each participating country, explore the role of entrepreneurship in national economic growth. More than 200 scholars and researchers are currently participating in the GEM project. The results of GEM data analysis are used as a key benchmarking indicator by a number of distinguished regional, national and supranational authorities around the world.
GEM’s unique ability to provide information on the entrepreneurial landscape of countries in a global context makes its data a necessary resource for any serious attempt to study and track entrepreneurial behavior worldwide. GEM’s renewed vision will allow researchers to further increase their ability to educate policy makers and make a difference in our economies.
U.S. Partnership
In January 2008, Babson College invited Baruch College to join the GEM United States Team. The partnership brings together the expertise from the Blank Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at Babson College with experts from the Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship at Baruch College.
One of the many interesting synergies of this collaboration is the additional data from the Field Center’s research on minority entrepreneurship. Section 3 of the 2006-2007 National Entrepreneurial Assessment for the United States of America report explores issues related to Korean American and Mexican American business owners and the issues hypothesized to have an impact on business ownership patterns including education, gender, family structure and responsibilities, access to capital, business experience, personal and family goals, and business management and performance. The GEM 2008 Adult Population Survey includes several new questions aimed at shedding more light on minority entrepreneurship.
