How women CEOs’ financial knowledge and firm homophily affect venture performance
研究了女性领导的企业中,CEO对替代性金融资本的了解程度如何影响财务绩效,并与男性领导的企业对比,发现增加女性所有权比例可帮助克服历史与刻板印象带来的挑战。
We examine the impact of female-led venture firms’ knowledge of alternative forms of financial capital and its effect on their financial performance as compared to male-led ventures. We contend that women chief executive officers (CEOs) leading such ventures faced unique historical and stereotypical challenges that impeded their financial knowledge and subsequent firm performance. We utilize liberal and social feminism frameworks, complemented with homophily theory to illustrate how female CEOs can overcome these challenges by increasing the percentage of women in the ownership structure of female-led venture firms.
