“…Entrepreneurs were alert to such profit opportunities, purchasing inputs at a specific price and selling outputs at an uncertain price, which results in an arbitrage mechanism that involves guessing about future market conditions. Lidow (2022) classifies Cantillon as a "prehistoric entrepreneur" and points out that Cantillon described the entrepreneur as someone who engages in exchange at their own risk for their profit, distinct from landowners and commoners. Unlike Knight, however, for Cantillon, the exercise of entrepreneurial activity does not require the ownership of assets.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the pioneering work of the 19th-century French author Jean-Gustave Courcelle-Seneuil in developing a scientific perspective on management, whose origin is commonly associated with the contributions of Frederick Taylor and Henri Fayol. Design/methodology/approach Through a historical analytical approach and doing a parallel analysis with the origins of the economic theory, fragments of two works by Jean-Gustave Courcelle-Seneuil (1813–1892) are analyzed: The Theoretical and Practical Treatise on Industrial, Commercial and Agricultural Enterprises: A Business Manual (1855) and Ergonomics, the second part of the book Theoretical and Practical Treatise on Political Economy (1858), in which the author devotes a chapter to relevant aspects of management, such as entrepreneurship, production, human resources, finance and accounting. Findings In addition to noting the pioneering character of these contributions, particularly the emphasis on entrepreneurship, Courcelle-Seneuil’s argument favors in the 19th century a scientific approach to management, contradicting the belief of businesspeople of the time, according to whom management was something practical, impossible to be studied analytically. Research limitations/implications This study indicates that looking to the past is essential to know what has already been produced in a particular field of knowledge. This return to the origins is fundamental to understanding how science evolves. Although management as a systematized field of expertise is usually dated to the beginning of the 20th century, there are reasons to expand on the influences that gave rise to this science, particularly regarding lesser-known but equally important contributions. Originality/value This study explores a lesser-known contribution to the origin of management theory and seeks to contribute to the study of the origin of the division of the fields of management science, its roots and its intersection with the economic science practiced in the half of the 19th century.

“…The role of gender in social construction of entrepreneurial identity: 100 examples of start-ups from Turkey Literature Entrepreneurship significantly affects countries' economic development levels due to its capacity to create new business opportunities (Lidow, 2022;Arroyo, Fuentes and Jiménez, 2016;Friar and Meyer, 2003). Differences in the economic growth rates among countries are largely associated with entrepreneurial activities (Arroyo et al, 2016;Friar and Meyer, 2003).…”

“…Girişimcilik, araştırmacılar tarafından yeni iş fırsatları yaratma özelliği nedeniyle ekonomik gelişim üzerinde önemli etkileri olan bir faaliyet olarak kabul edilir (Lidow, 2022;Arroyo vd., 2016;Friar ve Meyer, 2003). Şöyle ki girişimcilik, bölgesel kalkınma, ekonomik büyüme ve istihdam yaratma fonksiyonları ile ekonomide önemli bir katalizör görevi görmektedir.…”

Girişimcilik, ülke ekonomilerinin gelişiminde kilit rol oynayan bir faaliyettir. Buna rağmen literatür kapsamında yapılan araştırmalar genel olarak bireylerin girişimcilik potansiyellerinin tam olarak değerlendirilemediğini ve cinsiyetin bu bağlamda önemli bir faktör olarak öne çıktığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durumun nedenlerine bakan araştırmacıların ise araştırmacıların hem cinsiyet hem de girişimcilik kimliklerinin sosyal inşa süreçleri sonucunda inşa edilmesinin bir sonucu olarak girişimcilik faaliyetleri konusunda cinsiyet kaynaklı pek çok eşitsizliğin ortaya çıktığı tezine yoğunlaştıkları görülmektedir. Tüm bu bilgiler ışığında bu çalışma toplumsal cinsiyet kalıpyargılarının Türkiye’de girişimci kimliğinin inşasında etkili bir faktör olup olmadığı soruna yanıt aramak üzere tasarlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda Fast Company Türkiye tarafından hazırlanan 2022 yılı Start-up 100 listesinde yer alan ilk 10 girişimcinin çeşitli yayın organlarında yayınlanan röportajları Nvivo 11 nitel veri analizi programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler, Türkiye Start-up 100 listesinde ilk 10 şirketin 5’inde en az bir kadının kurucu ortaklar arasında yer bulmuş olmasına rağmen sadece 3 kadının en üst düzey yönetici pozisyonunda olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Yapılan analizlerde aynı zamanda erkek ve kadın girişimcilerin verdikleri röportajlarda büyük oranda eril dil kalıpları kullandıkları da tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda yapılan analizlerin girişimcilik kimliğinin toplumsal cinsiyet kalıpyargıları çerçevesinde eril bir söylem olarak inşa edildiği tezini desteklendiğini söylemek mümkündür.

“…It is crucial to comprehend how the entrepreneurial phenomena developed into their current forms to create plausible possibilities for how entrepreneurial activity can influence the future. Studying the development of entrepreneurial behavior can provide important knowledge about what it is and how it operates (Lidow, 2022). The emergence and development of women’s entrepreneurship, particularly in developing economies, has captured the interest of everyone, including academics, development organizations and governments (Chhabra et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper seeks to add a historical perspective to the contemporary debate concerning women’s entrepreneurship in India. This study aims to explore the quantitative and qualitative research map of the research field of women’s entrepreneurship. Through this exploration, the authors aim to portray the historical and contemporary factors related to women’s entrepreneurship development in India, the problems and the opportunities. Future research opportunities are also identified based on the keyword analysis. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a systematic literature review to analyze the historical and theoretical perspectives of women’s entrepreneurship in India. The bibliometric analysis portrays the publication landscape, including the most popular journals, authors and countries, citation analysis and keyword analysis. The content analysis reveals the thematic clusters of the research field. Findings The content analysis of the management literature on women’s entrepreneurship reveals four primary clusters from the research: contextual embeddedness in women’s entrepreneurship, reasons for starting a business, microfinance interventions and empowerment of women entrepreneurs and marginalization dynamics for women entrepreneurs in India’s informal sector. The study also presents implications for policymakers and a women entrepreneurs’ development framework. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is the first to comprehensively analyze the management literature on women’s entrepreneurship in India from a historical perspective. The study combines bibliometric mapping and content analysis for a holistic presentation of the research field of women’s entrepreneurship in India and future research opportunities.
