Abstract
This doctoral dissertation explores the role of gender in the creation and development of social enterprises. The first chapter establishes the need for research at the intersection of women entrepreneurship and social enterprises. The second chapter discusses the role of gender in social entrepreneurship’s research by providing a systematic overview of the literature. This chapter is useful in providing a guide for the remaining chapters in that it helps to understand how women, in terms of their gender, affect the development of social enterprises. This leads to the third chapter whereby means of a single-case study, we aim to examine the role and impact of women leading social enterprises. In order to gain a comparative perspective, the fourth chapter highlights the contextual factors affecting social entrepreneurs through a critical approach to the study of the interrelation between gender and social entrepreneurship. Finally, the last chapter develops the main conclusion of this dissertation: women make a difference in social forms, confirming that gender indeed influences entrepreneurial leadership in social ventures. This last chapter also lays the ground for future research and implications for practice.
