“…Two theoretical approaches are taken: research into the invisibility of women in the copreneurial business (Marshack, 1994;Poza and Messer, 2001;Danes and Olson, 2003;De Bruin and Lewis, 2004) and research into power (March and Simon, 1958;Crozier and Friedberg, 1977;Mintzberg, 1983). The motivation for this choice was to be able to show that while the informal power held by the female copreneur may be evidence of her lack of visibility, it is not, however, evidence of her lack of influence.…”

“…In practice, researchers frequently promote the idea that female "nebulosity" (Danes and Olson, 2003) could be linked to the hidden or invisible position of women in the company, particularly family businesses Dumas, 1989;Marshack, 1994;Cole, 1997;Fitzgerald and Muske, 2002;Blenkinsopp and Owens, 2010) where they play an important, if not decisive, role while their participation is rarely acknowledged.…”

Despite the gradual recognition of strategic issues related to the integration of women into the economy, female entrepreneurship continues to receive little attention. Family business research attributes this situation to a lack of recognition given to the (decisive) role of women in these organizations. However, there is one type of family governance that formally acknowledges the man/woman combination: the copreneurial company. Copreneurs are couples who run a business together. This theoretical article highlights the role of women in the copreneurial context by distinguishing between formal and informal power-the latter being primarily held by women, but which is no less influential. The distribution of power reduces opposition costs between partners and the social costs of noncompliance, and improves the clarity of the entrepreneurial structure. Moreover, it increases satisfaction and a feeling of equality between the partners. These results can be generalized and shed light on the role of women in other entrepreneurial and social contexts. This article is published as part as part of a collection on the role of women in management and business.

“…Ademais, empresas administradas por famílias constituem uma forma organizacional própria, com características específicas, que as distinguem das demais organizações, tornando-as dinamicamente complexas (DANES; OLSON, 2003). Como características ou forças são mencionadas: sensibilidade social e política do grupo familiar, em nível regional e nacional; a reputação que o nome da família pode ter no espaço geográfico onde atua, funcionando como uma espécie de segurança econômica e política; além dos valores familiares, como austeridade, comprometimento, dedicação e a liderança, os quais constituem elementos importantes para o desenvolvimento onde estão inseridas as organizações familiares.…”

“…Nesse sentido, dentre outras razões, ao se analisar experiências de desenvolvimento local, vê-se reforçada a noção de que a presença do estado é fundamental (BARBOSA et al, 2004). Isso ainda mais especificamente neste estudo, pois, embora a literatura aponte a sensibilidade política por parte de grupos familiares, em nível local e regional (DANES; OLSON, 2003), o que se constatou, neste caso, foi que as pequenas empresas familiares não detiveram a parcela de poder que seria esperada, ainda mais quando se observa a presença de empresas atuando há mais de cinqüenta anos no mercado local, como pode ser verificado no quadro 3. Parece plausível a constatação que o excesso de informalidade, apontado por Werner (2004) e Gonçalves (2000) em empresas familiares, foi predominante ao longo do tempo não apenas no âmbito de cada empresa individualmente, mas também na forma como elas continuamente se relacionaram.…”

“…4 In the entrepreneurial context (e.g., family businesses), the boundaries between conflicting identities are often blurred and ill defined (Danes and Olson 2003). When the roles are considered independently (e.g., family member and business owner), the behavioral expectations for each role are developed based on input from the social environment.…”
