Senior entrepreneurship themes: an Australian perspective
Senior entrepreneurship may be either a career option or a form of entrepreneurial activity in later life. This article investigates how senior entrepreneurs interact within defined entrepreneurial themes, and provides a narrative of recommendations to enhance active ageing. Based on a qualitative study of 90 Australian respondents, we suggest how senior entrepreneurs perceive their entrepreneurial environment, particularly around themes of motivations, other people’s attitudes, measures of success, satisfaction, opportunities, barriers, skills, education and training, support, networks and benefits. We argue that if senior entrepreneurship is to be enhanced, entrepreneurs and policy need to be aware and sensitive to the diversity of themes influencing entrepreneurial activities.
