Recent research shows that some women social entrepreneurs pay themselves as much as 29% less than their male counterparts. Is this culturally determined because they undervalue themselves, or is this wise business practice and based on lifestyles choices? Panellists will discuss how women entrepreneurs decide the value of their work.  The  purpose is to provoke thought, stimulate debate, and encourage women to think about self-valuation and the potential impact of society and culture on their commercial decisions.

 

Panel Chair: Dr Kerry Murphy Healey, President of Babson College has agreed to chair the discussion. She is internationally recognized for almost three decades of service in academia, government, and humanitarian work. As Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts (2003-2007), she co-chaired Massachusetts state’s Regional Competitiveness Councils, which focused on coordinating economic development for the state. Healey currently serves on the Massachusetts Treasurer's Advisory Committee on Wage Equality.

 

Panellist: Dentaa Amoateng is an award-winning British-Ghanaian entrepreneur, actress and TV presenter who founded the GUBA Awards (Ghanaian UK Based Achievements) in 2009 which recognises achievements of individuals and organisations "positively contributing to the Ghanaian community in the UK or Ghana". In 2011 she was named Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year by the Future 100 Awards, and in 2013 won the African Women in Europe Award. The organisers called her "an icon and role model to all African women living and working in Europe."

 

Panellist: Dr Susan Liautaud is Founder and Managing Director of Susan Liautaud & Associates Limited, a consultancy in ethics matters for corporate, governmental, and non-profit organisations internationally. She is currently Lecturer in Public Policy and Law at Stanford University where she teaches cutting edge ethics courses and a Visiting Scholar at the Stanford Center of Philanthropy and Civil Society. She is a member of the French Ambassador’s UK Trade Advisory Council and serves on a number of non-profit boards.  

 

Panellist: Dr Ute Stephan, Professor at Aston Business School is co-author of the paper that inspired this panel, Do women earn less even as social entrepreneurs? Ute’s research focuses on culture, institutions and entrepreneurship and the role of entrepreneurial motivation. She is the director of the Aston’s International Entrepreneurship and Business Research Centre, a member of the UK Global Entrepreneurship Monitor team and the incoming editor-in-chief for Applied Psychology: An international Review.
