PurposeAdopting a feminist constructionist perspective, this article proposes an analysis of the micro-level processes and dynamics of interpersonal, gendered, business relationships between female entrepreneurs, therefore constituting an extension to network theory in the women's entrepreneurship research field.Design/methodology/approachThe qualitative research builds on a single, longitudinal case study of a successful, 15-years long collaboration between two female entrepreneurs. Qualitative data were collected over two years, through formal and informal interviews with the entrepreneurs, observations and complementary documentation. The data analysis is based on a grounded theory and narrative approach.FindingsThe article proposes a thick narrative of the evolution of the dyadic business relationship, and reveals the power of gender role stereotypes in its progressive formation and development.Research limitations/implicationsThe article produces situated knowledge about female entrepreneurs and strong interpersonal business ties. The limitations relate to the specificity of the case analysed, representing the viewpoint of privileged, white, Western, educated and wealthy female entrepreneurs. It therefore does not account for the diversity of women's entrepreneurship.Originality/valueThe article enriches and extends social network theory in the women's entrepreneurship field through analysing how gender is done in discursive and social practices at the interpersonal level. The case also constitutes an illustration of social feminism in women's entrepreneurial practice, challenging dominant gender stereotypes.

PurposeStudies on women’s entrepreneurship in Morocco are scarce, despite the potential of women for the country’s economy. This research takes place in a socio-cultural environment searching for a compromise between tradition and modernity. Families occupy a prominent place in Morocco, directly influencing women’s activities. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of family in Moroccan women’s entrepreneurial success.Design/methodology/approachThe qualitative research is based on 60 interviews with women entrepreneurs in Morocco, including women business owners, women professionals and also women co-operators who have not been documented until now, due to data accessibility. It is diversified in terms of personal, family and professional characteristics. The analysis uses an intersectionality framework taking gender and social class into consideration.FindingsThe results highlight three categories of women entrepreneur: the “elite”, the “self-made women” and the “co-operators”. Each category is characterised by specific familial and professional realities, underpinned by differentiated dynamics in terms of gender and social class.Practical implicationsThe study, from a practical point of view, contributes to a better understanding of the differentiated realities encountered in terms of women’s entrepreneurship, in the Moroccan context.Originality/valueStudies in developing countries tend to consider women entrepreneurs as a homogeneous group. This research highlights the fact that family support, women entrepreneurs’ practices and their role in entrepreneurial success depend on the background situations in terms of gender and social class. It also contributes to the entrepreneurial success field, revealing different definitions and perceptions of success among women entrepreneurs.

We explore the relationship between the characteristics of social capital, the speed of access to medical technologies and the role of gender in a private practice context. Our findings from a sample of 98 German private practitioners show that: (a) being a woman has an overall negative impact on the speed of access to medical technologies; (b) private practitioners with strong social network ties obtain quicker access to medical technologies than do those with weak ties; (c) men relying on their weak ties perform better than women who do so. In contrast, we observe that women relying on strong ties outperform their male counterparts in terms of speed of access to medical technologies., Nous explorons la relation entre les caractéristiques du capital social, la rapidité d’accès aux technologies médicales et le genre dans le contexte de cabinets médicaux privés. Les conclusions tirées à partir d’un échantillon de 98 médecins privés allemands montrent que : a) le fait d’être une femme médecin a un impact négatif global sur la rapidité d’accès aux technologies médicales; (b) les médecins privés ayant des liens sociaux forts obtiennent un accès plus rapide aux technologies médicales que ceux qui ont des liens faibles; c) les hommes qui s’appuient sur leurs liens faibles obtiennent de meilleurs résultats que les femmes. En revanche, nous observons que les femmes qui ont des liens forts ont plus rapidement accès aux technologies médicales que leurs homologues masculins., Exploramos la relación entre las características del capital social, la rapidez del acceso a tecnologías médicas y el papel del género en un contexto de práctica privada. Nuestros hallazgos en una muestra de 98 practicantes privados alemanes muestran que: (a) ser una mujer tiene un impacto negativo en general en relación con la rapidez de acceso a tecnologías médicas; (b) practicantes privados con vínculos fuertes de redes sociales obtienen acceso a tecnologías médicas más rápido que aquellos que tienen vínculos débiles; (c) hombres que dependen en sus vínculos débiles se desempeñan mejor que mujeres que hacen lo mismo. Por lo contrario, observamos que mujeres que dependen en vínculos fuertes superan a sus contrapartes varones en términos de rapidez de acceso a tecnología médica.

This chapter discusses the rich and complex thought that has been developed in the French-speaking world, with the aim to present the most comprehensive portrait possible of research at the intersection of gender studies and family business succession, to advance the global agenda. In different parts of the world, family laws have historically treated women, men as non-equals in couples, making it impossible for married women to own, inherit or manage a commercial company. In France, for more than a century, married women have been considered as legally incapacitated adults who could not undertake any juridical act or financial transaction without their husband’s authorisation. The rise of the nuclear family as a model and the individualisation of societies are main drivers of transformation in terms of family business succession. In Western societies, dual-career couples have gradually become the norm, women gaining independence with regard to enlarged family systems in which they were previously jointly in charge of multigenerational family needs.

This article focuses on how family business succession research has engaged and may be further enriched by application of a gender lens as socially constructed. We analyze the succession literature developing a gender terms vocabulary and five themes of historical engagement. Finding a lack of theoretical grounding, we apply the construct of gender, through expectation states theory, revising the Sharma and Irving model of successor commitment to examine how a socially constructed view of gender shifts and opens up points of view. We then present a forward looking agenda to motivate future scholarship.

While women-owned ventures represent an increasing proportion of new businesses in most western countries, most of them have particular financing patterns and encounter barriers in their access to financing. Recent research on the question argues that barriers to financing are mainly dependent on factors other than gender, such as owner- and firm-related characteristics. This quantitative and qualitative study, through descriptive statistics and interview analysis, examines the relationship between financing patterns and barriers and gender from the woman entrepreneur's viewpoint. It explores the behaviours and representations of women entrepreneurs towards financing, and considers to what extent the women see their own approaches as being different from those of men. Our study suggests that a gender effect still exists, and tries to identify its location and the corresponding implications for further research and action.

This paper examines the views and attitudes of a sample of 228 female entrepreneurs in Belgium towards the virtual social network Facebook. It uses statistical analysis to evaluate the impact of their gendered sector of activity and of their self-perceptions on: how Facebook is perceived as responding to gender-related difficulties; how Facebook is used in terms of objectives and activities; how Facebook supports women's networks; and the outcomes of Facebook for women-owned businesses. The results highlight significant differences according to women's sectors of activity and self-perceptions with regard to how Facebook is perceived and used. They support the idea of an active posture of women entrepreneurs, allowing for action to be taken to deconstruct and counterbalance existing gender dynamics. The paper highlights certain implications for public and private initiatives and underlines the potential of this and other virtual social networking sites for women's entrepreneurship.

Les femmes optent de plus en plus souvent pour le statut d’independante et, trop rarement encore, pour le statut de « chef d’entreprise ». Cet article cherche a comprendre les facteurs qui semblent guider leur choix, le type d’activites vers lesquelles elles s’orientent, les difficultes qu’elles rencontrent ainsi que leurs succes et les strategies mises en œuvre pour reussir leur projet. Cet article est fonde sur une recherche quantitative et qualitative qui permet de montrer que le projet entrepreneurial des femmes a certes des similarites avec celui des hommes mais certains choix et strategies restent marques par des rapports sociaux de genre.

Nous menons une analyse en termes de genre, en tenant compte des phénomènes de séparation et de hiérarchie, pour explorer le rôle, la condition et les aspirations des filles dans l’entreprise familiale, au moment de considérer l’option de l’entrepreneuriat familial. De ce point de vue, nous examinons la littérature existante et présentons les résultats de deux efforts de recherche empirique exploratoire, un en Belgique et un aux Etats-Unis, pour mieux comprendre, internationalement, la manière dont les filles perçoivent leurs trajectoires de gestionnaire dans l’entreprise familiale. Nous prenons en compte l’acceptation sociale grandissante du leadership des femmes et leurs propres aspirations en termes de carrière professionnelle, qui influencent la vision traditionnelle des opportunités dans et hors de l’entreprise familiale pour les filles. Des pistes de recherche et des recommandations pratiques sont discutées, afin d’assurer le succès de la succession chez les filles., We engage a gender analysis, including consideration of the social phenomena of separation and hierarchy, to consider the role, condition and aspirations of daughters of family enterprise as they consider the option of family entrepreneurship. From this perspective we examine the extant literature and present findings from two exploratory empirical research efforts, one in Belgium and one in the U.S., to better understand internationally how daughters perceive their leadership paths in the family business. We take into consideration growing social acceptance of women’s leadership, and women’s own career-mindedness, which influence traditional views of the opportunities for daughters inside and outside of the family business. Research avenues and practical recommendations to support successful succession of daughters are discussed., Lanzamos un análisis de género, incluyendo consideración del fenómeno social de separación y de jerarquía, para considerar el papel, la condición y las aspiraciones de las hijas de las empresas familiares cuando consideran la opción de la familia empresarial. Desde esta perspectiva, examinamos la literatura existente y los acontecimientos presentes a partir de inves- tigaciones empíricas de exploración, una en Bélgica y otra en Estados Unidos, para entender mejor, y internacionalmente, como las hijas perciben sus especificaciones de liderazgo en la empresa familiar. Tomamos en consideración la creciente aceptación social del liderazgo de las mujeres y la representación de como las mujeres conciben sus carreras profesionales, examinando la influencia de los puntos de vista tradicionales sobre las oportunidades de las hijas a dentro y a fueras de la empresa familiar. Argumentamos los análisis de las investigaciones y las recomendaciones prácticas para garantizar sucesiones exitosas.

L’entrepreneuriat constitue pour les femmes marocaines une opportunité d’accéder à des activités génératrices de revenus. Notre objectif est de comprendre le processus entrepreneurial de ces femmes, en distinguant trois réalités différentes : les femmes chefs d’entreprises, les femmes exerçant une profession libérale et les femmes en coopérative. Cibler trois groupes nous permet d’aller au-delà des généralités sur l’entrepreneuriat féminin pour en montrer la complexité et la diversité. L’analyse du processus entrepreneurial de ces femmes va mobiliser des variables individuelles et familiales, mais aussi les spécificités liées aux caractéristiques de leur entreprise et à leur secteur d’activité ainsi que les caractéristiques socioéconomiques, culturelles, politiques et juridiques du Maroc. Sur base d’une étude qualitative auprès de 60 femmes entrepreneures, nous montrons les paradoxes au sein desquels les femmes entrepreneures marocaines exercent leurs activités, tentant de concilier une volonté d’autonomie et d’émancipation avec le respect de schémas de pensées traditionnels qui conditionnent, voire handicapent, leur exercice entrepreneurial., Entrepreneurship represents an opportunity to gain access to income-generating activities for Moroccan women. Our aim is to understand these women’s entrepreneurial process, distinguishing between three different realities : women owning a commercial venture, women professionals and women in a cooperative. Targeting three groups allows us to go beyond the generalities of female entrepreneurship and show its complexity and diversity. The analysis of the entrepreneurial process of these women will mobilize individual and family variables, but also the specificities related to the characteristics of their company and their sector of activity as well as the socio-economic, cultural, legal and political characteristics of Morocco. Based on a qualitative study with 60 women entrepreneurs, we highlight the paradoxes in which Moroccan female entrepreneurs operate, attempting to reconcile a desire for autonomy and emancipation with respect for traditional patterns of thought that condition, or even handicap, their entrepreneurial exercise., El espíritu empresarial es para las mujeres marroquíes la oportunidad de tener acceso a las actividades de generación de ingresos. Nuestro objetivo es entender el proceso empresarial de estas mujeres, distinguiendo tres realidades diferentes : las mujeres empresarias, las mujeres que ejercen una profesión liberal y las mujeres cooperadoras. Apuntar tres grupos nos permite ir más allá de generalidades sobre el espíritu empresarial femenino para mostrar la complejidad y diversidad. El análisis del proceso emprendedor de estas mujeres movilizan variables individuales y familiares, pero también las especificidades relacionadas con las características de su empresa y su sector de actividades, así como las características socio-económicas, culturales, políticas y legales de Marruecos. En base a un estudio cualitativo a 60 mujeres empresarias, se muestra las paradojas en que empresarias marroquíes funcionan tratando de conciliar un deseo de autonomía y emancipación con respeto para los esquemas de pensamiento tradicional que condición, o obstaculizan su ejercicio empresarial.
