Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and the Value of Feminist Approaches to Understanding Them
指出创业研究过度聚焦商业增长,强化了男性气质,而女性主义的表演性理论能帮助重新理解创业和领导力,为学者提供新视角。
Entrepreneurship research principally focuses on business growth. This focus valorizes the masculine and marginalizes other interpretations. Consequently, entrepreneurship is restricted to a phenomenon that is rare in the diverse business world. The leadership literature proposes that entrepreneurship may not be as masculine as we assume anyway. Our understanding of entrepreneurship needs development at the conceptual level. We argue that performativity, as described in feminist theory, can contribute to how we interpret entrepreneurship and that this might inform both the entrepreneurship and leadership literatures to afford us better understanding of what we might mean by “entrepreneurial leadership.”
