ENTR 2400 - Women As Entrepreneurs

Institution:

Fairleigh Dickinson University-College at Florham

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on emergence of women owned business in the USA and internationally. In record numbers women are breaking out of corporate life and embracing entrepreneurial careers as an alternative to the "glass ceiling". Female entrepreneurship is realizing its potential as we witness women emerging as business owners in economic sectors they have not previously occupied. The primary objective of this course is to consider what this means for young women who are trying building a career today. The course will consider the roots of female entrepreneurship and what the primary obstacles and aids were to women considering entrepreneurship as an alternative to career choices that have traditionally been available to them. Students will investigate how the new groups of "modern" and "ultra-modern" entrepreneur have emerged, and how these companies are similar to and differ from those owned by male counterparts. The concepts used in this class will be verified through interviews with women business owners. These will be presented in the form of case studies. [10/14/2002]
