“…Maia describes a similar situation in [1], presenting a study on female participation in university majors in CS in Brazil, based on the Higher Education Census data from the Ministry of Culture and Education between the years of 2000 and 2013. One of the issues raised was that while the number of male graduates increased 98% in the period, that of female graduates decreased 8%.…”

“…In the years between 2000 and 2013, women accounted for an average of only 17% of all graduates in various Computer Science (CS) related majors in Brazil [1]. This situation is particularly distressing at one of Brazil's largest universities, the capital's University of Brasília (UnB), which has over 30,000 students enrolled in its undergraduate programs.…”

“…Responding to these low rates of female participation in CS courses, researchers have focused on how to improve this scenario, and have proposed strategies to encourage girls to pursue a career in Computer Sciences [1,3,4,5]. Several countries have developed initiatives to debate this issue, such as IEEE's Women in Engineering 1 , ACM's ACM-W 2 and Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computer Sciences 3 , the Girls Who Code 4 nonprofit organization, among others, all aiming to support and increase the number of women in CS.…”

The field of Computer Science (CS) has been of little interest for girls straight out of high school, when considering undergraduate majors in Brazil. At the University of Brasília's CS Department, female students account for less than 10% of the student body. In an effort to understand the girls' lack of interest in computer related courses, we applied an anonymous questionnaire regarding their perceptions of the field. From 2011 to 2014 3707 female students completed this anonymous questionnaire. We compiled Association Rules in Data Mining to analyze these responses. The knowledge gained through this study could guide future research on the matter and provide guidelines for motivating girls to pursue careers in Computer Science.

“…Nos últimos anos, vem sendo realizadas discussões sobre as razões da incipiente participação feminina na área de Computação, além de estratégias para atrair as meninas para essa área [Cohoon, 2002], [Gurer, 2002], [Maia, 2016], [Khan, 2016]. Computação não parece ser a primeira escolha de formação universitária dessas jovens, que no Ensino Médio devem decidir sobre as suas possibilidades de atuação profissional.…”

“…Não há no Brasil literatura abrangente que trate especificamente sobre a presença e atuação da mulher no ecossistema de startups. Apesar da escassez de dados, há algumas hipóteses sendo trabalhadas no campo mais abrangente, que trata da presença feminina nas empresas de tecnologia Maia (2016). realizou estudo que revela que a diminuta presença feminina nos cursos superiores brasileiros do campo da computação vem decaindo.…”

This research aims to verify if women, leaders of startups in the city of São Paulo, consider the relationship with stakeholders an effective communication strategy for the longevity of their business. In order to achieve this goal, we used the four quality of relationship indicators of Hon and Grunig (1999): mutual control, trust, commitment and satisfaction. For this, the research was composed of two phases: a mixed and a qualitative one, to relate the understanding about the relationship with publics with the theoretical concepts coming from the Communication area in the organizational context. In the first phase of the research, a sample of 109 founders and /or partners of startups was built and a survey was carried out on their macro understanding about communication in organizations and relationships with publics. The results of the first phase cast doubt on the real understanding of this particular group of startup founders about the difference between the strategic communication process and the sales process. From this observation and to deepen the understanding on these points, it followed with the second phase of the research with the accomplishment of interviews with 12 entrepreneurs of startups. The results revealed that although the group of women leading startups identifies the benefits of a long-term relationship with their stakeholders, they do not associate this relationship as a communication resource in their strategic perspective and in the generation and exchange process of meanings. In addition, the results confirmed that, although the entrepreneurs understand the four indicators of quality of relationship of formation in line with the literature that bases this study (HON and GRUNIG, 1999), this understanding is at the same time disconnected from a strategic application before the perspective of Communication and, therefore, far from the possibility of gaining legitimacy of its actions towards society by building lasting relationships with stakeholders.
