This comprehensive handbook presents an extensive overview of empirical and conceptual developments in the study of high-tech entrepreneurs from an interdisciplinary and multinational perspective. The expert contributors explore various conceptual frameworks and definitions of high-tech entrepreneurs and of the entrepreneurial process based on studies in different settings and contexts. They examine issues of equality, diversity and inclusion in terms of gender and class. The handbook investigates strategies for empowering high-tech entrepreneurs, ranging from structural conditions and support mechanisms afforded by state and institutional actors, to individual mechanisms used by serial entrepreneurs to avoid burnout. Including unique perspectives on theory and research, this handbook will make a rigorous and innovative contribution to academics, students and researchers' understanding of high-tech entrepreneurs.

PurposeThe influence of gender on high-tech entrepreneurship is of growing interest worldwide, as scholars argue that women face gendered barriers specific to this field. Although some gender-focussed research exists on the interplay of context and entrepreneurial learning, these issues have yet to be intensively studied, and the research aims to address this gap.Design/methodology/approachThe research draws upon empirical evidence from the entrepreneurial learning of nine women opportunity entrepreneurs in the high-technology sector in Norway. It employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, with retrospective and in-depth interviews to capture and analyse the entrepreneurs' lived experiences and learning histories.FindingsThe entrepreneurs in this study highlight gendered learning experiences, leading them to make conscious and strategic decisions of both alignment and resistance to negotiate their enterprise in a highly masculine sector.

In recent years there has been growing interest in the psychology of managers and entrepreneurs. Yet, few studies have compared the two, and the literature often treats them interchangeably. This exploratory study focused on two types of entrepreneurs: high technology entrepreneurs (HTEs) and small business owners (SBOs) who were assumed to be more similar to managers. An attempt to identify psychological similarities and differences between them was made. Twenty-five HTEs and fifty SBOs were interviewed with respect to their family and professional backgrounds, self-perception and work attitudes. Results revealed a number of similarities (high involvement, optimism, energy, independence and initiative) as well as differences (HTEs’ higher level of education, higher military rank and greater leadership experience as compared to the SBOs’ greater realism, greater love of management and greater likelihood of having a father who was also an entrepreneur). These differences were interpreted within a psychoanalytic framework that focuses attention on SBOs’ positive identification with both parents as compared to the HTEs’ negative identification with father and greater identification with work. Practical implications of these differences for the management of HTEs’ and SBOs’ organisations or businesses and for public policy were drawn.
