Abstract

Few women, in contrast to men, found their own company and most women do not. But why not? Does the “image of entrepreneurial women in Germany” play a role? The research project, “Diversity in Entrepreneurship: Facets of the Image of Entrepreneurial Women in Germany,” wishes to answer this question and the initial results are in: Some stereotypes are reinforced whereas other, fortunately, are not.
