Entrepreneurship is positioned within contemporary thinking as a noun which describes the ‘world ... more Entrepreneurship is positioned within contemporary thinking as a noun which describes the ‘world as it is’ (Calás, Smircich, and Bourne 2009, 561). Krueger and Brazeal’s (1994, 91) definition of entrepreneurship as ‘the pursuit of an opportunity irrespective of existing resources’ is coherent with the common assertion that entrepreneurship offers gender-neutral meritocratic career opportunities. In practice, however, interaction with the environment determines the future of women’s entrepreneurship, i.e. women are never just women, but are also located within a specific context (Ahl and Marlow 2012; Calás et al. 2009; Mirchandani 1999). A critical shortcoming of women’s entrepreneurship literature is that instead of pursuing a more reflexive, theoretically informed and holistic understanding of the embedded context, it tends to focus on a direct relationship between the general conditions and arrangements in the overall entrepreneurial environment (for both male and female entrepreneurs) and women’s entrepreneurial activity (Ahl 2006; Brush, de Bruin, and Welter 2009; Hughes, Jennings, Carter, and Brush 2012; Tedmanson, Verduyn, Essers, and Gartner 2012). This ‘all are alike’ approach (Aldrich 2009) and ‘extreme decontextualisation’ (Welter et al. 2014) ignores the research which suggests that gender-differences should be conceptualized as fluid processes, rooted within a historical context, which informs and sustains the normative, hierarchical subordination that shapes women’s life chances (Marlow and McAdam 2013). This is important as ‘a mismatch between theory and context can result in false leads and inconclusive findings’ (Zahra 2007, 445). Indeed, researchers

The process of opportunity identification is often associated with an analytical cognitive style, whereas an individual may also be guided by intuition in effectual decision-making to construct an opportunity. Here we analyze ten case studies to unveil the relationships between the process of opportunity formation (creation or identification), the cognitive style of the entrepreneur (intuitive or analytical) and the decision-making process (causal or effectual). We find that the relation is not systematic, and that firm industry and position in the sector are determinant.
