Do Women Entrepreneurs Require Different Training?

Sue Birley, Caroline Moss and Peter Saunders

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1987, vol. 12, issue 1, 27-36

Abstract: This paper analyzes the characteristics of male and female participants attending pioneering entrepreneurship development programs, which form part of an economic strategy directed at increasing the quality and quantity of new firms. The participants did not need to have a business plan, finance available or formal education, but must have had a “reasonably feasible idea†. The results show significant differences between the characteristics of the male and female entrepreneurs, and the businesses which they form.
