A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH TO SENIOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN MANAGEMENT RESEARCH

Year 2020, Proceedings of The Third Economics, Business And Organization Research (EBOR) Conference, 409 - 412, 31.12.2020

Abstract

This study aims to create a conceptual approach to senior entrepreneurship to demonstrate the challenges and benefits of being a senior entrepreneur. In order to achieve the aforementioned aim, we discuss the scholarly literature by considering living conditions, capitals and career stages for elderly individuals. Thus, the present study highlights the strengths of being a senior entrepreneur and why the countries need to have inclusionary approaches to elderly individuals in entrepreneurship practices. Also, the findings that come from the literature show that there is a common exclusionary approach to senior entrepreneurship since government policies mostly focus on young entrepreneurship.
