Abstract
This paper aims to figure out the process of mature while maintaining and forming relationships with others based on Gilligan's care ethics, focusing on the role of mothers, the role of entrepreneurs, their own distinctions, by interviewing 20 entrepreneurs who are parenting mothers. In addition, the elements of ‘can’, ‘should’ and ‘will’ were applied to the maturation process to classify, and the each tendency was examined. In the formation of an asymmetric relationship with others through the role of entrepreneurs, they can find themselves as others of others. And they realize that respecting their feelings will have a positive impact on their family through their mother's role. Conflicts arise in the allocation of time to each role, but it seems that it is possible to seek out which choices can be satisfied and decide, while considering the magnitude of the influence on each, within the structure of complex influences. It can be called a ‘care-oriented entrepreneur’ who work on emphasizing asymmetric relationships with others, in a public domain. It is important to take care not to sacrifice the role of mothers, even while working on business as an entrepreneur. To that end, it is important to disseminate an understanding of the surrounding care-oriented entrepreneurship. In order to deal smoothly with changes such as changes in the environment and lowering motivation that occur while working on the project, the element of ‘should’ becomes important. Especially in the type that was started as a trigger by ‘can’, it is necessary to provide opportunities for small practice from the early stage of actually providing services to establish asymmetric relationship.
