Abstract

It is controversial whether entrepreneur is ‘born to be’ or ‘can be trained’. This never-ending arguments generated numerous studies, both qualitatively and quantitatively, to find the answer. Interestingly, praised as the global best performance restaurant stock by Bloomberg news agency before the Covid-19, After You, a Thai cafe and restaurant seemed to have a bright fortune ahead. Established in 2007, After You was led by a successful female entrepreneur ‘Kulapat Kanokwatanawan’, a graduated from Thammasat Business School, Thailand. Furthermore, this study, with qualitative approach - systematic reviews, aims to explore the key vital sources for After You’s entrepreneurship and creativity, along with how studying in business school can boost and impact the chance for being success businesswomen. Consequently, authors initially collected information from related 3,343 news (ranged from 1st January 2007 – 31st May 2023) from secondary source (news database) with the keyword ‘After You’ - InfoQuest News (2007 regarded as the year for After You opening). Later on, 295 news (both in Thai and English) were extracted to find the key characteristics of successful female entrepreneur. The results show that prone to risk, passion, and determination are the key aspects for successful entrepreneur of After You. This paper is thus arranged: The first section introduces ‘After You’ and rational aspects of her CEO’s winning attitudes; secondly, authors reconnoitered the reviews of literature in many standpoints to support the grounding assumption; thirdly, research methodology was elucidated and investigated by using secondary data from InfoQuest New; lastly, research findings and future research were deliberated.
