Entrepreneurship can be read as a cultural and economic phenomenon.
In recent times, gender has become an increasing influence on
entrepreneurship. This groundbreaking new study considers both
gender and entrepreneurship as symbolic forms, looking at their
diverse patterns and social representation. Presenting an
ethnographic study of the gender structuring of entrepreneurship,
this work employs three strategies:
A critical survey of gender studies which argues that
entrepreneurship is a cultural model of masculinity that obstructs
the expression of other models;
'Reflexive' ethnographic observation conducted in five small firms
which describes how business cultures are 'gendered' and how gender
is the product of a social practice;
An analysis of how discursive and narrative practices in business
cultures constitute gender and entrepreneurship.
