Abstract

Abstract While government, institutional and community efforts were in full swing to stimulate women’s entrepreneurship, COVID-19 hit the global economy hard. This article focuses on the determinants that stimulate the entrepreneurial optimism among women entrepreneurs and strengthen the capacity of Quebec’s SMEs to survive. Explanatory frameworks from chaos and dynamic capacities theories are mobilized to study how entrepreneurial skills and financial needs shape women’s entrepreneurial optimism, which in turn determines the resilience of SMEs in times of crisis. The study is based on a survey of 1,080 female entrepreneurs conducted in April 2020. The results highlight the need for business skill building, innovation skill development and new digital skills to boost entrepreneurial optimism and increase the chances of surviving the crisis. On the other hand, despite targeted government assistance, difficulties in accessing financing remain and high debt levels are major obstacles to overcoming the crisis.

激发乐观情绪，建设女企业家能力:从COVID-19中吸取的教训

在政府、机构和社区全力推动女性创业之际，新冠肺炎疫情给全球经济带来沉重打击。本文的重点是激励女性企业家的创业乐观主义和加强魁北克中小企业的生存能力的决定因素。运用混沌理论和动态能力理论的解释框架，研究创业技能和金融需求如何塑造女性的创业乐观主义，进而决定中小企业在危机时期的复原力。该研究基于2020年4月对1080名女性企业家进行的调查。研究结果凸显了商业技能建设、创新技能开发和新的数字技能的必要性，以提高企业家的乐观情绪，增加在危机中生存的机会。另一方面，尽管有针对性的政府援助，但获得融资的困难仍然存在，债务水平高企是克服危机的主要障碍。
