With update-to-date reviews of the current research and literature on women's entrepreneurship, this is the first book of its kind to address entrepreneurial coaching for women as a development tool. The authors provide a theoretical, conceptual and applied perspective to explore the distinctive challenges facing this group, before discussing the implementations and outcomes of coaching programmes in an entrepreneurial setting. They conclude with strategies for future research and progress. Students and scholars of business management, entrepreneurship and gender studies will find the unique perspectives to be of interest. This book will also be useful as a tool for small business service providers, women entrepreneurs, policy makers and government officials.

Recensioner i media

’Entrepreneurship is a major contributor to economic growth and women are increasingly becoming entrepreneurs. Carianne Hunt and Sandra Fielden make a significant contribution here in showing that an e-coaching program can support women's success in these efforts. They first identified internal and external barriers women face in starting entrepreneurial ventures, they then developed an efficient e-coaching program, pairing coaches and coachees that successfully addressed them. A timely, important and practical initiative that both supports women's dreams and contributes to society.’
