“…Therefore, subjective measures have been widely acceptable in organizational research (Lawrence & Lorsch, 1967;Dess, 1987;Powell, 1992a;Powell & Dent-Micallef, 1997). This paper is using the annual sales turnover as the performance indicator, through questionnairesas used by a number of previous studies (Rosa et al, 1996;Du Rietz, 2000;Anna et al, 1999).…”

A number of previous studies have shown that male-headed firms outperform female-headed firms in developed countries. This present study investigates, examines and compares the performance contrast of male and female headed firms in Lao micro, small and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs) through the use of ordered probit models. The sample consists of 840 observations wherein 493 are male -headed firms and 347 are female-headed firms having 1 to 99 employees. We control the business characteristics as well as the entrepreneurs' characteristics. The results confirm previous studies that female entrepreneurs relatively underperform compared to male entrepreneurs. When the whole samples were divided between the male-and-female headed firms, the determinant factors showed contrasting results.

“…Other changes reflect a return to traditional norms and value that relegated women to a secondary position. As countries become more democratic and gender inequalities lessen, more productive atmosphere for both sexes is provided (Allens and Truman, 1992;Anna, Chandler, Janson and Mero, 2000). Women's productive activities, particularly in industries that empower them economically and enable them to contribute more to overall development; whether they are involved in small or medium scale production activities, or in the informal or formal sectors, are not only a means for economic survival but also have positive social influences for the women themselves and their social environment (UNIDO, 2001).…”

“…A central discussion of female entrepreneurship concerns whether women are systematically discriminated, suggesting that ventures owned and/or managed by women exhibit a poorer performance relative to those owned by males. A "gender gap"-explained by systematic or structural factors in society-has been acknowledged to deprive women of vital resources such as education, networks, and capital (Anna, Chandler, Jansen, & Mero, 2000;Watson, 2002). Past research has shown that women entrepreneurs in the start-up stage or in the growth phase have less access to financing and venture capital (Gatewood, Brush, Carter, Greene, & Hart, 2009;Marlow & Patton, 2005).…”

The link between new venture survival and the presence of founding teams is investigated, in particular the effect of the gender composition of teams. Furthermore, we study venture survival, gender, and institutional change. A unique longitudinal database is employed, covering a large number of Swedish ventures established during 6 specific years, . These data capture the initial gender diversity of start-ups. The contextualization of entrepreneurship involves situational and temporal boundaries, and we elaborate on contextual factors at different levels of analysis. Our results show that ventures founded by teams have a higher probability of surviving, but show no overall team gender homogeneity/heterogeneity effect. However, we find some support for the fact that ventures founded by all-female teams have lower survival chances. Nevertheless, the clearest negative effect is found for female solo start-ups. Furthermore, our results support the fact that institutional transformation may gradually have increased the likelihood of ventures founded by females to survive.
