The chapter offers a critical review of the main literature about this issue. Based on such review, the authors develop a gender-aware framework integrating three key areas for the analysis of the gendered process in family entrepreneurship: the determinants of women’s entry into family businesses, their gendered roles and the associated outcomes. The paper ends with some interesting managerial implications and research suggestions for scholars. The eleventh chapter by Gianluca Ginesti, Carlo Drago, and Riccardo Macchioni offer a composite index approach to assess firms’ information quality.

These latter are more likely to reduce agency problems with a net benefit for the information quality. This Italian study may help policy makers and managers in the implementation of corporate disclosures.
