Women Entrepreneurship and Social Capital: A Dialogue and Construction

"This book explores social capital as the multiple relationships between gender, management and entrepreneurship. Human resources are the social capital of a firm and business life, based on trust as well as on expertise, values and cultural diversity. This calls for cross-cultural knowledge and an understanding of gender issues and individual differences in the social capital of the firm and society." "The dialogue between women entrepreneurship and social capital theory and research has its special place among other women entrepreneurship books, the number of which has lately increased. It strengthens still in some respect the fragmented voice of women entrepreneurship research by providing a landscape of women entrepreneurs as creators of, and created by, social capital. It indicates how women entrepreneurs appear to have a special position informing, developing and reorganizing the social capital in the business world."--BOOK JACKET.Aaltio, Iiris is the author of 'Women Entrepreneurship and Social Capital: A Dialogue and Construction', published 2008 under ISBN 9788763002103 and ISBN 8763002108.
