Abstract
We explore similarities and differences between male and female entrepreneurs, their businesses and strategies in different transition environments. Our analysis illustrates that in a transition context there are more similarities than differences for female and male entrepreneurs and their businesses, essentially because the difficult nature of the external environment facing entrepreneurs is a dominant influence. Gender makes a difference regarding business aims, business performance and success. Overall, the results emphasise the need to look at entrepreneurship within its social and economic context, which also might explain differences often taken as gender-related ones. With regard to policy implications, results indicate that improving the overall business environment will help women as well as men.
