Social Competence Of Women Entrepreneurs: Moderating The Effect Of Social-, Human-, And Reputational Capital On Entrepreneurial Success, Monica Zimmerman, Crystal Jiang
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
Women entrepreneurs and the business(es) they own face many challenges.

Three specific resources that appear to be especially important to entrepreneurs and their businesses are: social-, reputational-, and human capital. Research suggests that the RBV does not, however, fully explain how and why certain firms possess competitive advantage in rapid and unpredictable conditions (Eisenhardt & Martin, …
