“…It suggests that empowering and supporting women entrepreneurs can positively impact various aspects of society, such as economic growth, social development, and overall progress. Giving women the opportunity increases their ability to control their income and increases the labour force in general (Anwana & Aroba, 2022;Field, Pande, Rigol, Schaner & Moore, 2021;Isa, Nor & Noor, 2021). Participant 3, a 32-year-old entrepreneur with 2 years of business experience, emphasised the need for greater efforts to support Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) operated by women.…”

The study under discussion aims to map the outlook for female business owners in South Africa by investigating nine stories shared by interviewees operating across industries, age groups, and holding different levels of education. Through a qualitative exploration grounded in the intersectionality theory, the research unveils a nuanced tapestry of challenges and opportunities shaping the experiences of these resilient entrepreneurs. The findings echo the transformative potential inherent in women-led businesses, vividly portraying them as dynamic agents fostering growth, attracting investments, and contributing positively to economic expansion, poverty alleviation, and community development. The narrative portrays the leading women-run businesses as agents of change, instigating economic growth, attracting investments, and contributing positively to the realisation of social justice, poverty eradication, and improved livelihoods. The theme of patriarchy surfaces as a challenge in the entrepreneurial field, but with more pronounced adverse structures in opposition to free-playing entrepreneurship. The study that has exhausted all the topics ends with an emphasis on targeted interventions, acknowledging the obstacle of domestic constraints, improving cooperation, and dismantling patriarchal power structures. Its principles are establishing a supportive environment that considers the distinctive factors of women's entrepreneurship, resulting in economic empowerment and sometimes overall social development. Due to its active contribution to women's direction in business and in the implementation of pertinent targeted interventions, South Africa can employ women's potential fully, which can lead to economic growth and be socially beneficial in the meantime. The study also suggests that future inquiries to clear the sight about different actors within the entrepreneurship ecosystem and eventually form a comprehensive outlook of all factors that underline the complex business generation process.

Purpose -This research examines the enterprise resource planning system (ERP) SAP implementation in SMEs. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are challenged by their use of manual working style and operations preparations. Human errors in the preparation and execution of important documents such as financial statements, invoices, purchase orders, and internal sales orders have been overcome by business Intelligence processes that computerize every document, efficiently store, Retrieved, and quickly send or receive copies.Methodology -This research proposed solution is an ERP theoretical proposed solution and information evaluation pertinent to the investigation of how to continue and monitor the performance of the ERP SAP procurement process in SMEs. This research technique examines difficulties and suggests solutions. It also includes the stages of the procurement process and the benefit of the enterprise resource planning process, use cases and tables were used to represent the findings generated. Other elements contributing to the ERP procurement process are examined, including the challenges and solutions SMEs face. Furthermore, research on enterprise resource procurement and business intelligence (ERPBI) is conducted to gain in-depth knowledge on how the 2197 performance of ERP procurement, including ERP SAP, has been monitored in the existence of SMEs.Findings -ERP implementation and SMEs' outcomes were studied using the explorative approach. To validate the model being created, eight individuals from Business and academia with experience in ERP systems were contacted during the development of the tools. The overall findings offer helpful hints on how organizational and operational elements interact to ensure the successful implementation of ERP. Implementing ERP systems is considered both from the process and organizational learning and knowledge management perspectives.Practical Implications -ERP companies concentrate more on SMEs due to the nearsaturation of ERP adoptions in Large Enterprises (LE). Additionally, many SMEs are implementing ERP systems due to globalization, collaboration, value networks, and the massive information flow between and within SAMEs today. Adoption risks stem from SMEs' limited resources and unique qualities that set them apart from Large Enterprises (LE). This article's primary goal is to highlight the aspect of the ERP in the SME domain that needs further research, suggest future research directions, and give the most recent research findings that could help buyers, suppliers, and SMEs when starting ERP projects. More so, there are advantages to implementing an ERP system successfully. However, there is already evidence of substantial failure risks in ERP implementation projects. The non-technical parts of the implementation project are frequently neglected or given less attention by the project managers, who, instead, concentrate primarily on the technical and financial aspects of the project. Therefore, the study of ERP deployment success is one of the key research topics i...
