The expert contributors to this insightful book explore the latest
research on women's emancipation through entrepreneurship,
specifically in relation to families and family businesses. The
chapters analyse the role the family plays and how women interact
with their families in developing their entrepreneurial projects or
taking over the lead of the family business. They examine key
themes such as the role of religion, women's agency, business
succession, and identity. To illustrate these areas, the book draws
on case studies from a wide variety of contexts, including Syrian
women refugee entrepreneurs, Tunisian women entrepreneurs and
entrepreneurial parents working from home. The book also draws
attention to previously underexplored topics in women's
entrepreneurship, such as spousal support. Looking to future
research, it calls for a better understanding of what emancipation
means for women in different contexts. This book will be a useful
resource for scholars and students of entrepreneurship with a
particular interest in family business. Its use of global case
studies will also be beneficial for practitioners in this field as
well as networks of women entrepreneurs.
This book provides new insights into how the concept of bricolage
is used to foster research on social entrepreneurship. The
contributors assess the relevance of the concept from a theoretical
point of view, questioning the concept and its relationships with
similar concepts or theories, like those of effectuation and
improvisation; use the concept of bricolage to study processes by
which social entrepreneurs make their business grow; and
investigate the diversity of social entrepreneurial situations and,
as a consequence, the variety of forms (and effects) of bricolage
practices. The primary objective of this book is thus to shed light
on bricolage in social entrepreneurship, especially at the
intersection of different levels of analysis and in different
contexts. It takes stock of existing research at the intersection
of both concepts and looks at future research avenues. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship and
Regional Development.
