Title: Women and entrepreneurship
Abstract: Have you ever wondered if you want to be an entrepreneur? If you have the attributes to be one? Based on her background as an entrepreneur as well as recent studies on the topic, Hanan will reflect
on her career path from entrepreneurship to academia and discuss the attributes that makes women particularly suitable to be entrepreneurs as well as those that makes many shy away from even entertaining the thought.
