Does one size fit all? Exploring the relationship between attitudes towards growth, gender, and business size

Article Abstract:

Businesses headed by women are usually smaller in size than those owned by men. This is so because men and women in business differ with respect to their attitudes towards growth decisions and their wanted tempo of expansion. Women tend to be more guarded and subdued than men with regard to planning and managing business expansion. Often growth is projected within their maximum feasible business-size limits. In the first place, these limits are already lower than those of their male counterparts.

Gender bias and the availability of business loans

Article Abstract:

Experiments involving responses of loan officers of 200 branches of four major banks with New Zealand operations support the perception that women are at a disadvantage in gaining credit for start-up capital for a business venture. Experiments employing a Goldberg type methodology found the loan officers considered education level a significantly more important factor in granting loans in the case of women applicants who were identical to male loan applicants except for gender.
