Female Entrepreneurship: The Way Forward

To measure organisational performance, economic principles to this date have typically been stressing masculine traits such as ‘short-term growth’ and ‘dominance over competition’. The current corona crisis once more emphasises that we might benefit from adding more feminine traits of entrepreneurs to the mix, like ‘cooperation’ and ‘durability’. Women’s economic empowerment and the recognition of its relevance have notably progressed.

In this webinar we delve into the paradigm shift caused by the rise in female leadership and female entrepreneurship. We will show differences between male and female business leaders, and we will illustrate how both can be combined to improve leadership practices.

This second part of our ‘Moving Forward Together’ webinar series is offered to you by UMIO | Maastricht University in partnership with fellow centres and institutes at Maastricht University and beyond to offer you a broad perspective on how to navigate the complexities introduced by the corona pandemic.

This session is offered in collaboration with the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, part of Maastricht University.

Over a course of six online episodes, we aim to continue the dialogue with professionals and organisations and shine a light on the next phase of the pandemic in which we are concerned with the prospects of resuming business and reinventing business models, given the restrictions imposed.
