Largest-ever survey of indigenous entrepreneurship now available
Study Confirms Maori Are World's Third Most Entrepreneurial People
New research drills deeply into Maori entrepreneurial personality
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.

Research in this area, particularly in New Zealand, has been sketchy. As a result, assumptions have remained unchallenged and the true level, nature and impact of entrepreneurship have never been fully explored. This study changes that!
The urgent question here in New Zealand is how all the various business and political interests are going to respond to the challenges this study presents to address the issue of entrepreneurship. It is not enough to be preoccupied with innovation. Innovation is simply
the breeding of brilliant ideas. Entrepreneurship takes those brilliant ideas to market and in doing so grows companies and their wealth. The entire economy benefits from their wealth of capital, talent and opportunity.......
