“…Faced with a global challenge, especially the trade war with United States and Covid-19 pandemic which push China’s economic growth into negative territory for the first time in 40 years, China is now looking for alternative economic growth engine to achieve a sustainable development. Entrepreneurship and innovation are the logical answer (Schumpeter 1947 ; Liu and Froese 2020 ; Wu et al 2020 ). This research is a reflection of China’s effort to boost the grassroots entrepreneurship to again incentivize its economic growth.…”

“…Secondly, from the market perspective, gender equality should be protected to make sure that the financial environment is fair and just. Female entrepreneurs deserve to have effective guidance provided by the government (Wu et al 2020 ). For example, it may be constructive to establish a network of organizations that support female entrepreneurship, especially the group with feminine and undifferentiated gender traits.…”

From the perspective of gender roles, this study uses social capital as the intermediary variable to study female entrepreneurs’ willingness to choose external financing. We combine social and behavioral sciences and financing theory to explore interactions between gender roles, social capital, and willingness to choose external financing. We elaborate on the intermediary role of social capital between gender roles and external financing. We find differences in gender role types among female entrepreneurs that significantly impact their willingness to choose external financing. Further, the differences among gender role types of female entrepreneurs significantly impact their social capital, which in turn is a significant but not sole factor that mediates their willingness to choose external financing.

“…Non-profit organizations often stress the need for education for women in developing countries: governments should provide entrepreneurship education for these women to help them gain confidence and to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to start up a business venture. In that way, the organizations can leverage the potential benefit of increasing the prevalence of female entrepreneurship, as such increases contribute to boosting economic development and reducing poverty and illiteracy (Wu et al, 2020).…”

Female entrepreneurs contribute substantially to economic growth in Asia. Despite their economic success, we know relatively little about them. This article presents a comprehensive review of female entrepreneurs in Asia, focusing on how they differ from their counterparts in the West, along four dimensions: female entrepreneurs’ unique characteristics, their distinct intentions, their constraints on resources, and their management styles. Our analysis revealed striking differences between female entrepreneurs in Asia and those in the West but also substantial heterogeneity within Asia. In developing Asian countries, female entrepreneurs often have a low level of education and work in the informal sector, driven by economic necessity, whereas many female entrepreneurs in transitioning/developed Asian countries are highly educated and work in high-growth industries. Culture and different religions, e.g., Islam and Hinduism, are major sources of constraints for the education and financing of female entrepreneurs in Asia. Family ties play a key role in the leadership style of female entrepreneurs in Asia. The review and analysis have important implications for future research and entrepreneurial practice.

“…The study also reveals the existence of a conceptual dilemma, in which specific positions can contribute to gaining depth in the area of study, but at the cost of sacrificing generality and precision. Therefore, findings evidence the need for a more balanced definition (Weick 1979). As a consequence, a new definition of SE is proposed by including a comprehensive view of its nature.…”

“…It is undeniable that the conceptualizations of social science phenomena must possess a balance between generality, simplicity, and precision (Weick 1979). Undoubtedly, certain definitions have been relevant for the theoretical development of the SE by incorporating new routes to its understanding.…”

Theoretical dilemmas, conceptual review and perspectives disclosure of the sharing economy: a qualitative analysis

The sharing economy (SE) has become a prominent theme in a broad variety of research domains in the last decade. With conceptions from an increasing range of theoretical perspectives, SE literature is disperse and disconnected, with a great proliferation of definitions and related terms which hinder organized and harmonious research. This study carries out a systematic literature review from 1978 to September 2020, uncovering 50 definitions as units of analysis. The authors, through a qualitative-interpretative analysis, review definitions, identify perspectives, and critically assess their conceptual nature on an evolutionary basis. Findings show that despite the SE has been extending its routes and approaches, it is far from a stock of conceptual grounds. The paper makes three contributions. First, we portray SE within a common evolutionary framework by developing it as a life cycle model. Second, we clarify the definitional and terminological jungle. And third, we suggest a new definition that can enrich the discussion.
