Female entrepreneurship has gained huge recognition in recent past. In today’s era of globalization,
women have emerged in different kinds of entrepreneurship roles. However, effectiveness of females as
entrepreneurs in comparison to male counterparts is still in question. The research work proposed herewith
emphasizes on judging success of women in their role as entrepreneurs.
Are females more successful than male entrepreneurs?
As per the study of Barclays (Preston, 2015), it has been
revealed that only 42% of women claim that their businesses
are prospering. On the other hand, same ratio in case of male
entrepreneurs accounts to 62%. However, businesses run by
women are reporting higher pre-tax profits as compared to
ones operated by men. Females are getting equal attention in
all the areas therefore; they get huge assistance when they
desire to establish a business. Further, women tend to be
more sociable than men hence; they are more capable in
promoting business among the customers. This also gives
them the opportunity to connect with different people.
