創業是一個複雜的過程，近年來有關創業的研究，也從以往著重創業者的個人特質轉為多重層面的探討，創業是創業者個人與環境等其他因素相互關聯的複雜歷程，創業行為也是人際網絡與經濟活動的鑲嵌，本研究係以女性創業者為研究對象探究女性創業歷程，從創業女性的個人能力條件與特質、創業資源與人際網絡、社會環境對女性創業的影響等多面向加以探討，試圖歸納出女性創業成功的關鍵因素，並分析各行業成功創業的因素。
本研究採取質性的研究方法，以半結構式訪談法進行訪談，採立意抽樣，利用滾雪球方式與陌生拜訪方式邀請受訪者進行訪談，訪談人數為十一人，以服務業為主，受訪者所在地區分布於台北、桃園、新竹等三縣市。
經資料分析，本研究結果針對研究動機、創業女性的個人能力條件、創業資源、人際網絡、社會環境的影響以及女性創業的困難與因應之道等面向下結論，進而分析本研究訪談之各行業女性創業成功之因素，並對欲創業的女性、已創業的女性、政府以及後續研究者提出建議。
