Abstract

An important problem on the entrepreneurship field is the precise comprehension of the diffusion dynamics of the ideas and knowledge. In fact ideas can have an important impact on the business and on the managerial decisions. So in this sense the analysis of the evolution of the ideas need to be carefully considered and evaluated. In this work we will propose a time-series cluster analysis of pageviews data of selected topics on Gender in Wikipedia. Results give relevant insights on the evolution of relevant topics as the gender pay and role at work over time. These points can provide useful relevant informations in real business contexts.
