“…Building on this argument, various studies have also reported that female owned and managed business do not underperform the businesses owned and run by men (Peake & Marshall, 2017). There is wide empirical endorsement for this conclusion (Bui & Long, 2021;Manolova et al, 2017;Shava & Rungani, 2016). In this regard, Sheikh (2019) argued that studies on female entrepreneurship are conducted with a stereotype of their underperformance and that female entrepreneurs create multidimensional value for their own self, for the business, for their household, and for their community.…”

In recent years, focus on women entrepreneurship has increased and women are encouraged to perform an active economic role in the modern societies. However, it has been argued that women owned and operated entrepreneurial ventures exhibit poor performance, raising questions on the entrepreneurial potential of the women. Another line of argument highlight that women are different than men, leading them to have different entrepreneurial aspirations. Considering this theoretical premise, this study adopts a social role perspective to explain differences of entrepreneurial performance of women entrepreneurs in Pakistan. By employing a qualitative research design and collecting data from 19 male and female entrepreneurs in Pakistan, this study finds indications that social roles influence the performance orientation of male and female entrepreneurs. It was also found that male entrepreneurs have a more material and financial approach to relate to their entrepreneurial performance as they stressed more on profitability, cash flows, and material growth. On the other hand, female entrepreneurs exhibit a more peoples-oriented approach. They seemed to focus more on their stakeholders like customers, family, employees, and society at large. The study concludes that both male and female entrepreneurs have different performance orientations, and a unidimensional performance comparison of entrepreneurial performance of male and female is futile. Therefore, future practice and research on women entrepreneurship should consider a feminist perspective of entrepreneurial performance, where women entrepreneurs might be interested in self-fulfillment and empowerment and not in material growth or financial outcomes. The scope of this study is delimited to educated women entrepreneurs, living in metropolitan areas of Pakistan.

“…Entrepreneurship is considered as a panacea for economic growth globally; it is an engine to facilitate innovation, wealth and job creation (Lee and Rodríguez-Pose, 2021;Kattak et al, 2020;Packard and Bylund, 2018). Entrepreneurs are part of entrepreneurial ecosystems (Manolova et al 2016, citing Stam, 2015, therefore, Manolova et al (2016) theorise entrepreneurial ecosystems by factors such as markets, human capital, finance, education/training, and policy. Although extant studies report that women entrepreneurs are agents for economic growth and poverty reduction (Beriso, 2021;Sajjad et al, 2020).…”

: The paper explores the role of entrepreneurship education and training amongst women entrepreneurs to promote agritourism sector of the Indian economy. This study employ qualitative and quantitative approaches to gather data questionnaires survey and in-depth face to face interviews, based on a semi-structured questionnaire. The research involved a matched sample of 10 registered farmers (from the Punjab Heritage Tourism Promotion Board) and 200 unregistered male and female farmers selected randomly from the Indian State of Punjab. Quantitative analysis suggests that there is a direct and significant impact of EET on the management, efficiency, and use of farming land. The findings also suggested that the fall in the agricultural productivity due to labour shortages; revenue losses are rising as commodity prices are falling. Therefore, it is not a surprise that farmers seek to supplement income through alternative means to enhance their socio-economic stability and viability. The findings suggest that there is high incidence of migration amongst male farming population and female farmers lack EET and reluctance on their part to work with external male population. However, analysis of male owner-managers of micro and small agritourist firms also reported to have lower levels of EET and hence the need for EET male and females; thus, EET and adequate access to finance were two major determinants of agritourist firms’ success in Indian Punjab.

“…There is a significant rise in attention to entrepreneurial ecosystems, especially with respect to entrepreneurship policy, funding, innovation, and institutional frameworks (Acs, Stam, Audretsch, & O'Connor, 2017;Aparicio, Iturralde, & Maseda, 2021;Buntins, Kerres, & Heinemann, 2021;Isenberg, 2014;Manolova, Brush, Edelman, Robb, & Welter, 2017;Mason & Brown, 2014;Stam, 2015). Some of the main reasons why governments in emerging economies promote entrepreneurial ecosystems include economic growth, employment, innovation, and advancing a knowledge-based economy (Aparicio et al, 2021;Armanios, Eesley, Li, & Eisenhardt, 2017;Lerner, 2010;McKenzie & Woodruff, 2014;Urbano, Aparicio, & Audretsch, 2019).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the comparison between sponsored and non-sponsored personal administrative factors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past decade, governments around the world have started to experiment with entrepreneurial ecosystems in an effort to drive enterprise development and innovation in their economies. However, there is no consensus for sustainable policy performance in ecosystem development. Drawing on literature from strategy, institutions, social behavior, and entrepreneurship, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of entrepreneurial personal skills, management business skills, and social sustainability in receiving government funding. Using a unique dataset of 948 entrepreneurs in Kuwait from 2020-2021, we analyze a sample of two groups: those who received funding and those who did not receive funding from the National Fund for Small and Medium Enterprise Development. The finding implies that individuals who did not obtain funds have higher performance indices in management and entrepreneurial business abilities but lower social sustainability. Furthermore, business owners who did not obtain financing are less likely to have closure plans. This research has significant practical implications for the way the government distributes funds to entrepreneurs. It suggests that the financing criteria may need to be reassessed, taking into account not only managerial and entrepreneurial talents but also social sustainability factors. The results can assist policymakers in understanding how efficiently and effectively resources are allocated, particularly in the context of assisting small and medium-sized businesses.
