Abstract

The present case, FEMALE HUNTING INSTINCT, tells the true story of a German woman who founded a knowledge-intensive business service (in the German GmbH form, equivalent to the American LLC), after spending a few years in France. The case consists of an interview with the female founder which focuses on the establishment of her business and illustrates her occupational life. In addition, her diary account from past to present provides a closer look at the thoughts and attitudes of a mompreneur. Sabine Jotter, one of four founders of the business presented and a mother of two, wanted to push for big budgets for her company. After a few years of freelancing, her “hunting” instinct was aroused, causing her at times to feel like an uncaring mother. On most days however, she is satisfied with the flexibility, independence, and leadership role she enjoys as part of her work. Using the jigsaw approach, the teaching material below is divided into four “pieces” to help bring students and complementary data together. In doing so, different perspectives on entrepreneurial success are discussed, and light is shed on the role of the woman and mothers in France and Germany. Perceived motivational factors also play a key role.
