Add to ORKGWomen are the majority owners in 30 % of all privately held firms in the United States. These firms have $2.5 trillion in revenues and employ 19.1 million individuals.

This study uses an expectancy theory framework to examine the differences in motivations to start a firm between men and women.

Implications are discussed
