Are women's ideas missing from the future of innovation?
Did you know that scientific discoveries led by women are less likely to be used in the development of new technologies, even when they are equally promising as those led by men?
In this video, Isabel Fernandez-Mateo, Adecco Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School explains her research, which analysed over 10 million scientific papers and found clear differences in which discoveries were more likely to be cited in patents. She also shares the results of an experiment with 400 science PhDs that revealed how perceptions of an author’s identity can affect how research is judged.
