Entrepreneurial Resilience and Gender Differences: A Configurational Approach

From venture ideation to success, setbacks and failures are likely to happen. Being resilient in the face of adversity and having the ability to start again is critical to venture continuation and success.

Uniting research streams from resilience and entrepreneurship, we provide an integrated examination of the gender differences in the entrepreneurial resilience process.
