The purpose of this study is to discuss the effects of career capital on the process of senior female managers' transition to entrepreneurship. By discussing and comparing among the cases of successful female entrepreneurship, one can solve the problem of making wrong decision. Besides, we can realize the content of career capital.
Female ex-corporate managers leverage personal accumulations of knowledge, skills, relationships and networks when starting and growing new ventures. In-depth interviews were conducted with seven female entrepreneurs starting an enterprise successfully in Taiwan. It is found that senior female entrepreneur leverage "embedded career capital", human capital and social capital accumulated from past experiences, when founding and growing their own businesses. Embedded career capital is mobile and value-generating to the women's new start-ups. In contrast, embodied capital is not capable of generating rents outside the arena in which it was developed and not transferable to the new venture.
The results from case study showed that both the constructing of human capital and the accumulation of social capital played important roles in the process of successful women entrepreneurship. Therefore, the research findings support that career capital did help in the process of women entrepreneurship.
