[more ▼] 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. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 190 (4 UL)![]() Constantinidis, Christina ![]() in GWO (Ed.)

[more ▼] High-growth companies intensely contribute to our economies and constitute a particular area of interest for entrepreneurship scholars. Growth is also one of the major indicators of entrepreneurial success in the literature. Female entrepreneurs’ growth intentions and behaviors therefore constitute central questions for researchers in the field. Our contention is to develop a typology of female-managed businesses, differentiating between various growth patterns. We do not consider women entrepreneurs as a homogeneous group, rather taking into account the diversity of existing realities. In order to develop this typology, we rely on an existing French database, Women Equity for Growth, that has been measuring the performances of women-led businesses for five years.

[more ▼] 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. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 35 (1 UL) |
