Abstract

Abstract Women-owned businesses are still underrepresented in terms of export activity. This study compares the financial returns that small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) generate with women- versus men-owned export businesses. We examine competing hypotheses about how gender moderates the relationship between export intensity and SMEs' financial performance based on differing perspectives of women entrepreneurs. Based on these theoretical elaborations, we analyzed the export activity and profitability of 7,761 Canadian SMEs with women versus men owners. We found that women-owned export businesses achieve superior financial performance when they adopt an intensive export strategy. We discuss the implications of this finding for international entrepreneurship theory, practice and policy.

妇女拥有的出口企业与男子拥有的出口企业之间的差异:妇女拥有的出口企业在采用集约化出口战略时是否在财务上更成功?

就出口活动而言，女性拥有的企业仍然代表性不足。本研究比较了女性经营和男性经营出口企业的中小企业所产生的财务回报。基于女性企业家的不同观点，我们研究了性别如何调节出口强度与中小企业财务绩效之间关系的竞争性假设。基于这些理论阐述，我们分析了7761家加拿大女老板和男老板的中小企业的出口活动和盈利能力。我们发现，当女性拥有的出口企业采用集约化的出口策略时，其财务绩效更佳。我们讨论了这一发现对国际创业理论、实践和政策的影响。
