Title: Women in family businesses: perception and understanding of entrepreneurship
Author(s): Hougaz, Laura; Betta, Michela
Abstract: This paper will make a significant contribution to the discussion on entrepreneurship in family business by examining the dynamic role that women play in the family firm, and by analysing their perspective of their own entrepreneurial contribution to the success of the business. It will also contribute to the issue of business family dynamics, in particular the interrelation between the two closely linked domains, the business and the family, and to the gender issues in family business, which to date continue to remain relatively under-researched.
