Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal branding on social media is a growing and expanding field. The present research works to uncover the processes and practices of womenpreneurs and the ways in which they utilize social media, specifically Instagram, to build and maintain their personal brands. Grounded theory is used to underpin the research and provide a basis of which the study is conducted. The review of literature provides the context necessary to support the methods of a content analysis and semi-structured interviews. There is a gap in research as it pertains to the conceptualization of personal branding practices on Instagram and the present study works to build a bridge to understanding these practices. Online presentation of the self is an expanding body of research in academia, and the present research works to contribute new knowledge surrounding the exploitation of the most popular visually based social media platform Instagram to create and maintain successful personal brands.
Download or read book Digital Goddess written by Victoria R. Montgomery Brown and published by HarperCollins Leadership. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With women leading only twenty-four Fortune 500 companies, female founders receiving only 2.2 percent of US venture capital, and the continued presence of sexual harassment and double standards, the gender gap continues to hinder the advancement of women in the professional world. In Digital Goddess, Montgomery-Brown—founder of Big Think, a collection of experts across all fields and disciplines that are either at the top of their field or disrupting it, shares her story in an entertaining and educational light. Told from the unique, female entrepreneurial perspective that unpacks all the hurdles other female founders may face in their own journey to the top, Montgomery-Brown shares the real-world lessons she’s learned along the way, such as: Never lie to your investors, even when you just got arrested. Raising money is a poker game—learn how to play. The power and money still lie with men. Pretending it’s not that way, or being angry about it, won’t lead to success. Your relationship with your co-founder is like a second marriage, so forget about keeping the personal out of the workplace. The more authentic you are, and the more fun you have, the better your experience will be. This book is about dealing with the way things are, even when you don’t like it, and being yourself, even when it seems like a drawback. It’s about sucking it up, making the hard choices, and dealing with the consequences. It’s about being honest no matter what is going down. Victoria’s been called “the anti-Elizabeth Holmes,” for a good reason—unlike the ill-fated Theranos CEO, she’s transparent with her investors even when she fears they will walk away. Digital Goddess is a story for entrepreneurial women at any stage of life who want to know what it actually takes to build a business in a world that’s not always fair, predictable, or politically correct

Download or read book Female Entrepreneurs Digital Tools and Work Life Balance written by Elizabeth Lyons and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the use of digital technology by female and male entrepreneurs across world. We highlight that digital technology not only confers productivity benefits to the firm but also time-saving benefits to the entrepreneur, which may be particularly consequential for female founders who face higher levels of non-work related demands. However, commentators suggest that women may face higher costs of adopting and using digital tools. Thus, it is unclear to what extent female entrepreneurs use digital tools in their businesses. Using a cross-section of 23,033 small businesses across 42 countries, we show that the digital gender gap is not uniform across digital tools; female entrepreneurs use digital tools that support interactions with external stakeholders (i.e., advertising) to the same extent as male entrepreneurs but are significantly less likely to use digital tools for internal firm management (e.g., finance). However, women who face higher levels of non-work demands, measured by those who start their firms to balance work-life objectives, have a higher intensity of external digital tool use than their male counterparts. We find this relationship is primarily driven by women who start firms in countries where there is less institutional support for work-life conflicts. We find similar, albeit weaker, patterns for the use of internal digital tools. Our findings highlight the role of digital technology in alleviating time constraints for female entrepreneurs and suggest that reducing the cost of accessing and using digital technologies may help to democratize female participation in entrepreneurship.
