  Educator Handbook for Designing Inclusive Entrepreneurship Courses in Higher Education

  Deirdre McQuillan, Sylvia Gavigan, Antonio Juan Briones, Iulia Clitan, Dimitra Milioni, Vlad Muresan, and Panayiota Polykarpou

  This handbook is developed for educators in entrepreneurship within universities and other higher education institutions. The aim of the handbook is to help underrepresented student groups within their courses. It is also useful for academics who want to develop entrepreneurship courses for specific minority groups. The notion of who underrepresented entrepreneurship students are may differ across institutions and across countries. At a global level, the OECD identifies six important cohorts: women, youth, seniors, the unemployed, immigrants, and people with disabilities (OECD, 2021)

  Writing for Academic Journals in the Business Domain

  Deirdre McQuillan

  Welcome to the first in a series of peer learning handbooks developed by PhD and MPhil research students to help assist their peers along the academic writing journey.

  The first of this series of handbooks deals with academic writing for researchers within the business domain. Although approaches to clear writing such as scrutinizing every word and sentence for meaning and purpose and learning to listen to feedback are common features of excellent writing across all disciplines, there are also differences between writing within different domains. Even within the business domain there may be differences in writing approaches between economists for example or business computing analysts and more qualitative behavioural approaches. It is important therefore that new researchers recognise that there are guidelines and norms in writing excellence that might in part be determined by the audience and the field that they are contributing to.

  Co-authoring Strategies in Business Research

  Deirdre McQuillan (ed)

  students to help assist their peers along the academic writing journey. This handbook addresses co-authoring strategies in business research. The students are discovering much to debate about co-authoring in academic writing. While co-authoring has shown to lead to higher research output and productivity for researchers, there are challenges. Not least ensuring a fair contribution of each author can be expected in an ethical approach. Recognising different co-authoring strategies is very helpful before embarking on a co-writing exercise. Strategic approaches to co-authoring might be because of multidisciplinary expertise that can speed up the socially constructed process of developing a paper. It may either be sensible for early career academics to bring in publication expertise to a writing team to help position work and manoeuvre the publication minefield. It may simply be two writers with similar background.
