“…Standing out here are the gender stereotypes presented in the theory (e.g. Hentschel et al ., 2020; Welter, 2020; Soost and Moog, 2019; Aldamiz-Echevarría et al ., 2017; Jennings and McDougald, 2007; Kepler and Shane, 2007). In this study, it was stated that women have better organizing and communication skills and sensitivity, which supports the studies by Danes et al .…”

“…More than half of businesswomen are involved in activities other than running their own business, such as working or caring for their families. Among businesswomen who work part-time, around half became part-time businesswomen due to family activities, whereas only a small proportion of part-time businessmen take on similar obligations (Marlow, 1997; Verheul and Thurik, 2001; Soost and Moog, 2019).…”

PurposeThis study aims to analyze how the presence of women is seen in family small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) succession process from the successors' perspective.Design/methodology/approachTo do so, the multiple case study method (qualitative approach) was used: five Brazilian SMEs and three Portuguese SMEs, and the data-collecting techniques were the online interview and documentary analysis. Data analysis was through content analysis using NVivo software.FindingsThe empirical evidence obtained led to the conclusion that the natural succession process is predominant in the family SMEs studied here. Although succession planning is present in some firms, these plans are informal and not rigid as regards deadlines. Nor do they present stages and tasks that could be considered as a planned succession.Practical implicationsThe study shows that successors do not see gender as a relevant criterion for the choice of successor. It is concluded that women's participation in family SME succession, even to a lesser extent, is still marked by gender inequality. So, this study provides directions to policymakers and researchers to focus on developmental programmes for the presence of women in family SMEs' succession process.Originality/valueAlthough some successors consider that these firms' performance may be different due to gender characteristics, others emphasize that management is the same. Therefore, this study provides the futuristic direction to policymakers, researchers and educators for focusing on the enhancement of women entrepreneurs which plays a crucial role in the family SMEs' succession process. Therefore, a conceptual framework is proposed that explains the articulation of different categories to understand the gender perspective in family firms' succession.

Are there any noticeable differences among entrepreneurs who founded small businesses and their successes or failures based on their ethical intentions, gender, personality profiles, and leadership styles? Are female entrepreneurs who founded small businesses more likely to succeed than their male counterparts? Do personality characteristics impact decisions and intentions of an individual to become an entrepreneur? Do female entrepreneurs differ from male entrepreneurs in regard to the big five personality attributes? This meta-analysis includes evidentiary support from over 50 prior research articles as well as some qualitative analyses further analyzing over twenty research articles to gain fresh insights from entrepreneurs around the world regarding their entrepreneurial successes and failures of small business startups. It concludes that female entrepreneurs are more likely to have ethical intentions in general across a variety of geographies and landscapes, and, in general, entrepreneurs with ethical intentions are more likely to succeed. The second conclusion is that personality constructs play an essential role in both the decision to become an entrepreneur and in overall entrepreneurial performance.

“…Examination of the receiving process on all of these levels within the context of gender highlights the level of complexity of the problem investigated Differences in perception due to gender have been presented in the literature for many years. There are general theories explaining the reasons for these differences: 1) behavioral economics theory based on profound biologic factors (Cheng, 2019;Zettler et al, 2022), 2) cultural theory based on the influence of culture-shaping individuals' criteria and assessments according to these criteria (Eger, Mičik, Gangur, & Řehoř, 2019;Le, 2021), 3) feminist theory based on class approach and consequences flowing from the favoring of women by male-dominated societies (Neculaesei, 2015;Soost & Moog, 2021). We can apply all of these basic theories to the arts, but explaining these differences is not easy-or even possible.…”

Purpose From a management point of view, the digitalization of the aesthetic experience may be considered in the context of the growth or loss of the potential of artistry and creativity in response to the form of participation in arts. Because of gender differences in perception qualities, this paper aims to evaluate the influence of the participation form (in-person or delivered digitally) in the aesthetic situation by gender-differentiated receivers on artistry and creativity change. The COVID-19 pandemic created additional need for this analysis. Design/methodology/approach The quality of participation by men and women in art types (musical, performing, literary, audio-visual, visual) was assessed using the same ten criteria. Qualitative data analysis was based on an international sample (38 countries, n = 221). Findings The form of participation in the arts determines the level of participation quality in the aesthetic situation for male and female receivers differently. There are significant gender differences in participation in particular types of art and gender differences between particular forms of participation in art types. Practical implications The results should gain the interest of the following groups: 1) Art creators looking for the optimal means of distribution of artworks among gender-differentiated receivers; 2) Art managers and marketers for deeper understanding of gender-differentiated art receivers’ perspectives and their preferences about their form of participation form in the arts; 3) Art receivers to compare their opinions about how best to participate in the arts with the preferences of art receivers of a different gender. Originality/value This study is the first research to assess the quality differences in the process of receiving the aesthetic situation regarding the form of participation in the arts.
