Exploring future research agendas in the field of gender and entrepreneurship

Exploring future research agendas in the field of gender and entrepreneurship Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore future research agendas in the field of gender and entrepreneurship by outlining a critical overview of the current theorising regarding the influence of gender upon entrepreneurial behaviours and activities. Design/methodology/approach – The discussion reviews the state of existing knowledge and extrapolates future areas for potential research. Findings – Whilst there are a number of robust reviews of gender and entrepreneurship, there is much scope to add to existing knowledge particularly by employing a critical feminist stance. In addition, discrete gender critiques are vital to inform a broader and far‐reaching appraisal of the entrepreneurial project dominating the contemporary socio economic context. Research limitations/implications – This article is limited by focusing upon discrete themes. However, these are used as exemplars to indicate the potential for future development. Practical implications – The author suggests future avenues for research development and encourages the development of more sophisticated analyses of interrelation between gender and entrepreneurship. Social implications – The author suggests that a gendered critique has broader implications for exposing the bias embedded within the current theorising. Originality/value – Although a review of existing research, there is a thematic development of new opportunities for research development and a call to use gender as a fulcrum to articulate a more searching and critical approach to theorising entrepreneurship. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore future research agendas in the field of gender and entrepreneurship by outlining a critical overview of the current theorising regarding the influence of gender upon entrepreneurial behaviours and activities. Design/methodology/approach – The discussion reviews the state of existing knowledge and extrapolates future areas for potential research. Findings – Whilst there are a number of robust reviews of gender and entrepreneurship, there is much scope to add to existing knowledge particularly by employing a critical feminist stance. In addition, discrete gender critiques are vital to inform a broader and far‐reaching appraisal of the entrepreneurial project dominating the contemporary socio economic context. Research limitations/implications – This article is limited by focusing upon discrete themes. However, these are used as exemplars to indicate the potential for future development. Practical implications – The author suggests future avenues for research development and encourages the development of more sophisticated analyses of interrelation between gender and entrepreneurship. Social implications – The author suggests that a gendered critique has broader implications for exposing the bias embedded within the current theorising. Originality/value – Although a review of existing research, there is a thematic development of new opportunities for research development and a call to use gender as a fulcrum to articulate a more searching and critical approach to theorising entrepreneurship.
