Who is the real Boss?
Copreneurs are couples who run a business together. This conceptual article highlights the power sharing in the copreneurial context by distinguishing between formal and informal power. The proposals suggest that informal power, overwhelmingly held by women, is no less necessary or less important than formal power. In addition, the efficient combination of these two types of power would promote the clarity of the entrepreneurial structure, reduce opposition costs between partners and social costs of non-compliance. Finally, it can influence performance.
