Book Synopsis Women Entrepreneurs by : Sandra J. Wells
Download or read book Women Entrepreneurs written by Sandra J. Wells and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1998. Female entrepreneurs represent a rapidly growing element of corporate America, as evidenced in The National Women's Business Council’s 1991 Annual Report to the President of the United States and Congress. Given that so much of the business of America is composed of organizations started and run by women, a sobering statistic presented in the same report attests to the failure rate of these businesses: women-owned businesses fail at a rate seven to eleven percent higher than businesses owned by men. Given the theoretical foundation of the nature of adult learning, this research explored the phenomenon of learning for a select group of adult learners, a group of successful female entrepreneurs.
Book Synopsis Female Immigrant Entrepreneurs by : Daphne Halkias
Download or read book Female Immigrant Entrepreneurs written by Daphne Halkias and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A third of the world's entrepreneurial activity is driven by women. With the mass movement of people now commonplace, the role of female entrepreneurs in immigrant communities has become an increasingly important component of the world economy, its productivity, and the struggle against poverty. Throwing light on the dynamics of entrepreneurship generally, and on immigrant and female entrepreneurship in particular, the global Female Immigrant Entrepreneurship (FIE) project is a huge and exciting research undertaking. Written by the project's team of researchers based in prestigious business schools and universities on almost every continent, this important book begins the process of discovering why and how female driven business start-ups often seem to spontaneously emerge in adverse environments. Is it randomness, luck, or chance that determine success or failure, or vital critical forces and the inherent qualities of the women involved? The research emerging from the FIE project points to answers to questions about the integration of immigrant communities, their interaction with host economic and business environments, and the role of women in that interaction. With findings from more than fifteen countries, from the USA with some of the world's oldest and largest immigrant communities, to African countries that are the newest destination for Asian migrants, this book will help inform social and economic policy in communities and countries searching for prosperity. More than that, the book offers policy makers, business leaders, and those concerned with business development the chance to uncover some of the mystery around the complex phenomenon of entrepreneurship itself.
Book Synopsis Women Entrepreneurs and the Global Environment for Growth by : Candida G. Brush
Download or read book Women Entrepreneurs and the Global Environment for Growth written by Candida G. Brush and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's entrepreneurship research and the understanding of factors influencing the growth of women-owned business advanced significantly over the last decade. Yet, challenges remain. Women Entrepreneurs and the Global Environment for Growth provides wide-ranging insights on the challenges women entrepreneurs face growing their businesses and how these may be addressed. This volume is rooted in research and considers growth challenges both contextually and firm specific, provoking current thought and enriching the current literature on gender and entrepreneurship. Part one highlights how contextual factors, and especially social and familial settings of entrepreneurs, have a differential impact on men and women. Part two examines strategies, constraints and enablers of growth and performance. The authors aptly demonstrate that a well-focused gender lens is necessary to better explain the phenomenon of women's entrepreneurship. Extending previous studies about women's entrepreneurship, this volume is unique in its application of research from the Diana Project, a path breaking initiative dating from 1999 to study female entrepreneurial success. Contributions from an international cast of authors make this a comprehensive and broadly appealing reference work.

This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A must read for all entrepreneurship scholars because it helps us to understand and appreciate the real and many roles of women entrepreneurs, their relevance and importance to societies across the World, as well as the challenges and issues women entrepreneurs can face. An exciting and interesting read which presents us with critical questions for the future - thank you.' - Sarah Jack, Lancaster University Management School, UK Taking a fresh look at how performance is defined by examining the institutional power structures and policies, eminent scholars herein explore ways to overcome constrained performance and encourage women?s entrepreneurial activities through a variety of methodological approaches and geographical contexts. Significantly, this book adds a critical perspective to defining ?success? and ?performance?, shattering misconceptions of underperformance in women-owned enterprises. The contributing authors raise questions on the limiting concept of the ?entrepreneur? and have valuable insights into policies to facilitate female entrepreneurs. Instead of taking a one-sided and narrow approach with regards to understanding the entrepreneurship performance phenomenon, this book argues that future researchers should take a fresh look at business performance, considering structural constraints, definitions of success and other socio-political factors. Scholars in the fields of entrepreneurship, gender studies, and institutional theory, as well as those who have a general interest in critical research, will benefit from this progressive step in entrepreneurship research.

Ninety-one per cent of venture capital money continues to fund businesses founded solely by men, with only one per cent of venture capital money invested in businesses founded solely by women. Yet being a female entrepreneur is not the preserve of Wonder Woman. It’s for every woman who wants to make it happen.

Additionally, it encourages governments and the corporate world to recognise and embrace the huge value that female entrepreneurs bring to society and the economy. John Smythe and Ruth Saunders reveal the secrets of the success of fifty-two female entrepreneurs. They outline wisdom and insights to inspire budding entrepreneurs to take the leap and offer practical advice on what to think about when setting your business up for success as well as when considering whether to scale. They also provide top tips on how to play to women’s inherent strengths and avoid the weaknesses women face – as well as how to stay sane and enjoy the journey. This practical, unique guide provides the encouragement, support and motivation any aspiring female entrepreneur could need to make those first steps towards the realisation of their ambitions. John Smythe and Ruth Saunders are both entrepreneurs themselves and regularly advise start-ups on how to launch and scale up for growth.

Book Synopsis Economic and Socio Cultural Experiences of Female Entrepreneurs in Brazil and the United States by : Neila Holland-Noronha
Download or read book Economic and Socio Cultural Experiences of Female Entrepreneurs in Brazil and the United States written by Neila Holland-Noronha and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last twenty years female entrepreneurs have been increasing innumbers in economies of developing and developed nations across the world. But although female entrepreneurship participation rates have increasedworldwide, it appears that economic and socio cultural patterns still prescribewhether a female can become or want to become an entrepreneur in her society. Some reasons are obvious such as lack of employment and opportunities; otherare disguised in patriarchal culture that deters female entrepreneurship. Againstthis backdrop it appears that in less developed countries necessity and informalentrepreneurship are more prevalent than opportunity entrepreneurship. Anexplanation from economic nature for this phenomenon is perhaps the fact thatwith less job opportunities available in developing nations, the?need? to becomean entrepreneur seems to be the answer for females to make a living by creatingtheir own jobs. At the socio cultural level, the motivation to become anentrepreneur out of need surfaces because of the socio cultural structure ofcertain nations that hinder females from finding work that brings themindependence, self actualization and flexibility for work-life balance. This qualitative exploratory study investigates the phenomenon of femaleentrepreneurship comparing female entrepreneurship in two contexts: Brazil andthe United States. The economic differences on a macro level between these twocountries have been well documented and national socio cultural differenceshave been discussed. But very little has been focused at the individual level of the female entrepreneur per se, that is, how they perceive and experience theeconomic and the social cultural macro environment with their businesses. Thisresearch attempts to fill this gap. This was done by first reviewing the literatureand then by analysing the responses from face to face and telephone interviewswith 34 female entrepreneurs in Brazil and 26 in the United States. The findings indicated that female entrepreneurs in Brazil and the United Statesshare similarities in motivation for starting the business in terms of pull factors, such as search for financial independence, want to be one?s own boss, need forautonomy, and self actualization. The women from both groups also identifiedcustomer satisfaction and recognition from society as key elements for theirbusiness success. But business informality was a phenomenon only found amongthe Brazilian enterprises (the informais) a factor found to be directly related toeconomic necessity and the scarcity of waged jobs and opportunities. Theperception of gender barriers was shared by both groups of entrepreneurs butother factors such as religion and the importance of faith to succeed in businesswere emphasized only by the Americans. Higher education was perceived byboth groups as an instrument to gain recognition from society, but not importantto grow their businesses; vocational training was perceived as more important. Networking was perceived as important, but different patterns of networkingemerged among the Brazilians and the Americans. Definitions of success alsodiffer among the women independent from their nationality. Some were moreinclined to define success in financial terms, others simply define success interms of flexibility and the?got to be in control? syndrome. This research contributed to an increased understanding of the processes offemale entrepreneurship as it related to how economic and socio cultural forcesinfluence these processes. The findings indicated that the female entrepreneurship process becomes a combination of two processes: a persondriven process and a response to environment process. Mentoring and coachingprograms that assist women finding their path to entrepreneurship along withtheir own passions should be emphasized by local agencies. Although policydevelopment was not the specific objective of this study, a number of issueshave arisen that have implications both for future research and femaleentrepreneurship policies. For instance, in Brazil, higher taxes and the high costof starting a business were perceived by the women as barriers to theirbusinesses. It is suggested that Brazilian authorities and legislators continuewith their efforts to streamline the business start process by introducinginnovative and cost effective ways to formalize a business.
