The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Aotearoa New Zealand 2005 has now been released. The report is available for download at www.lulu.com/hfrederick
“GEM Aotearoa New Zealand is the largest study of indigenous entrepreneurship ever undertaken and represents another milestone in our journey to better understand the characteristics and determinants of Maori entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurship in general”, according to Professor Whatarangi Winiata, Tumuaki of Te Wananga o Raukawa and President of the Maori Party.
Ernst & Young’s 2003 Entrepreneur of the Year Caron Taurima says, “This Report is valuable to entrepreneurs because it highlight lessons learnt by others”.
GEM Aotearoa was sponsored this year by the Te Puni Kokiri / Ministry of Maori Development and was carried out by a team of researchers at Te Whare Wänanga o Wairaka (Unitec New Zealand) in Mt. Albert, Auckland, and Te Wänanga o Raukawa in Otaki under the leadership of Professor Howard Frederick.
GEM is headquartered at London Business School and Babson College in the United States. GEM New Zealand has resided at Unitec New Zealand since 2000.
This year the team surveyed a representative sample of Maori and the general New Zealand population to make comparisons with 35 countries.
