“…Many writers have shown the strong relationship of entrepreneurship and economic development. Particularly in this era, economic literature pay special attention to the capacity of entrepreneurship in relation with social well-being and development (Gonz alez-S anchez, 2012). But the links of economic development with the input of women entrepreneurs are yet to be explored in detail and the present study uniquely addresses this particular issue.…”

“…Over recent decades, entrepreneurship has become, in the view of policymakers and researchers, a potential means of achieving economic development (Meyer 2018) and social development (Gonzalez-Sanchez 2012). Women entrepreneurship, in particular, though a relatively new strain, has expanded considerably (Cabrera and Muricio 2017;Rashid and Rattan 2020) despite entrepreneurship being largely male dominated (Gupta et al 2019;Markussen and Røed 2017) until the 1990s, which was when the field started to witness the emergence of gender as a critical dimension to be researched (Marlow and Martinez 2018).…”

While the Omani government's endeavours over two decades to support entrepreneurship, particularly among women, have been significant, research has not substantiated their impacts; even so, the number of female entrepreneurs has substantially increased. This study aims to contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by investigating this aspect of the Omani government's entrepreneurship efforts in addition to other factors found in literature that contribute to the success of female entrepreneurship. A comprehensive literature review is conducted using the 'wildcard operator' search technique to define the factors affecting success in entrepreneurship; the study tests these factors to understand their applicability in the Omani context in order to build a sound conceptual model. A questionnairebased survey was employed to collect primary data from 218 successful Omani female entrepreneurs from 2017 to 2020. The data collected were analysed using structured equation modelling. Out of the 12 hypotheses proposed, seven were confirmed by the results, and a hypothetical multifactor success factor model was proposed accordingly. The proposed model can be used as a hands-on indicative tool for assisting Omani policy-and decision makers to implement effective policies in the future that will be able to leverage female entrepreneurship. The generalisability of the model needs further research to determine its fitness for the contexts of other countries.

“…The most effective aspect is entrepreneurship and it enhances the global economy in terms of the scale of production, and economy size on the basis of innovation and competition (Acs et al, 2008;Zanjirchi et al, 2019). Entrepreneurship has a very strong relationship with economic development, social well-being, and cultural background (González-Sánchez, 2012). But still, the incorporation of women entrepreneurs into economic development needs more attention thus, this study aims to analyze their economic role in terms of empowerment and economic independence.…”

Entrepreneurship is the backbone of any country in socio-economic growth and is of prime importance for policymakers and scholars. In the informal economic setup, women entrepreneurs are considered an accelerator for economic growth and development. This study focuses on exploring the issues of women entrepreneurs regarding their empowerment and economic independence and their role and inclusion in the mainstream of the national economy. A descriptive research methodology is used in this study in identifying the challenges and obstacles faced by these women socially and demographically to acquire in-depth information. Content analysis and library research techniques are used to analyze the facts regarding the said subject. Secondary data is used in this research by reviewing the relevant literature from authentic sources. The study has also proposed recommendations to address the existing issues of entrepreneurial women, their perceptions, decision-making power, and living conditions along with suggestions for their empowerment and economic development to analyze how women’s entrepreneurship can be taken to the next levels from the initial stages in the developing countries.
