Abstract
The number of women entrepreneurs has increased significantly over the past years. However, literature suggests that women from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields are inadequately represented in this growing trend. Meanwhile, the circumstances which cause this underrepresentation have not yet been sufficiently analyzed. To help fill this gap, this paper focuses on women’s entrepreneurship in specific educational and country contexts, acknowledging that relations between these factors play a crucial role in entrepreneurship. By means of an explorative approach, 21 interviews with seven STEM educated women entrepreneurs from Denmark, Latvia and Turkey have been conducted and analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. The results show the main motivations, challenges, and support sources for the women entrepreneurs, and provide important advice for future women entrepreneurs as well as for policy makers to increase the number of STEM educated women on the national level.
期刊介绍：
The journal name relates to Harvard Business School''s understanding of "The Entrepreneurial Venture" (Sahlmann/Stevenson/Roberts/Bhidé), the concept of entrepreneurship not only limited to new ventures/start-ups, but further understood as the concentration of opportunity/growth/value creation regardless of company size, age or kind. Hence, IJEV addresses organisational processes surrounding these concepts: from an idea to an innovation. To bridge the gap between innovation and entrepreneurship research, IJEV emphasises implications of this new knowledge for researchers, managers, public policy makers and business educators. Topics covered include: -Opportunity: identification; recognition; creation; selection; exploitation -Growth: management of rapidly growing enterprises; control -Value creation: for owners; for customers; other stakeholders; society -Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship -New venture creation -Management of technology and innovation -New product development and creativity -SME management -Entrepreneurial and small enterprise finance -Crowdsourcing and crowdfunding -Family business -Gender and diversity -Global entrepreneurship and internationalisation -Public policy, the economy, and the small enterprise -Business and organisational failure
