| Tiivistelmä: | In this article, new knowledge is provided on how women manage small companies in the context of the Finnish ICT sector. Adopting a social constructionist perspective on management and gender (hereafter as: gdr.), and drawing on ethnographic research methodology, it is examined how women owner-managers (here as: o-mgrs.) of small software companies construct gdr. when working for the establishment and maintenance of various types of cooperative relationships with business partners, customers and employees. It is shown that the gendering processes are not dependent on individual traits, behaviour or interaction per se, but relate to the immediate business contexts in which the o-mgrs. operate. |
