conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-24, 19:57 authored by Bronwyn EagerBronwyn Eager, Birdthistle, N, Grant, SThe purpose of this study is to examine the gendered nature of films featuring female entrepreneur protagonists. Key findings were obtained through a thematic narrative analysis of visual discourse and plot, and illustrate the prevailing gender stereotype of females in on-screen entrepreneurship. Findings highlight that there is much ground to be made in film to correct the long-held position of males as normative entrepreneurship actors. This study is novel in its examination of entrepreneurship film narrative as a window to gendered discourse, and its focus on media-messaging as a potentially limiting factor in female entrepreneurship career and venture growth."
