Women''s Resources in Business Start-Up - A Study of Black and White Women Entrepreneurs

Informationen zum Autor Katherine Inman Zusammenfassung Women-owned businesses are the fastest growing segment of new business start-ups, and black women’s businesses are a larger share of black-owned businesses than white women’s businesses are of all white firms. Most studies compare men’s and women’s businesses, but few examine differences among women. This book, first published in 2000, makes a significant contribution not only to the literature on entrepreneurial business, but also to the experiences of African American women.
