“…These results are in line with those reported by Inmyxai and Takahashi (2012), Tachibana (2014), Kyophilavong et al (2016), Leitch et al (2018) and Basco (2019) regarding what shapes the decision to become an entrepreneur in the socialist transition economy of the Lao PDR. It is recognized that financing accumulation is a necessity for women entrepreneurs to use for start-up capital (Koropp et al , 2014; Thiele and Wendt, 2017; Kwapisz and Hechavarría, 2018; Mand et al , 2018; Kim, 2018; Edelman et al , 2018). This sharpens Derera et al (2014), Eldomiaty et al (2018) and Salerno’s (2019) perspective that well-accumulated financing may increase the optimal stock of capital and also preclude a sizable amount of available choices.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the sources of financing accumulation that women entrepreneurs of family businesses use for start-up capital in the garment sector of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). Design/methodology/approach This study presents insights gleaned from a qualitative case study into the ways in which women in Lao PDR finance their family businesses in the start-up phase. The authors conducted 36 in-depth interviews – the study used this purposive sample in each of its five rounds of data collection. The data were collected between December 2018 and April 2019 and were analysed by conducting a content analysis assisted by the software programme ATLAS.ti. Findings The results, though highly case specific, show Lao women’s ability to: accrue their experience, apply their knowledge, engage in self-employment, support their families and aspire to become entrepreneurs. The findings clearly illustrate that women are opportunity and necessity driven, can accumulate income, possess savings behaviour, can manage working capital, investment and accounting and have access to finance (loan and debt) and thus have the potential to become successful entrepreneurs. Originality/value By contextualizing women’s entrepreneurial practices, the paper contributes to an understanding of the sources of financing accumulation used for start-up capital in Vientiane, Lao PDR. Theoretically, the paper extends the knowledge of women entrepreneurs seeking the optimal stock of finance which has the potential to drive family business success.

“…Several studies have indicated that, in order to finance the attractive investment involved in working capital, small family firms must appear to be strong in start-up capital (e.g. Mand et al , 2018; Roomi et al , 2018; Shiri et al , 2018; Edelman et al , 2018; Pimentel et al , 2018).…”

“…The two do not necessarily have a causal connection. The results of this study can only be applied to those who are comparable to the (Swain & Wallentin, 2009)participants (Mand et al, 2018)). A social entrepreneurship intervention called "Pahal Initiative" with the aid of a social entrepreneur, helped the women in the family launch a food delivery service.…”

Empowering Women through Microfinance: a Journey of Economic Reform

This study examines how microfinance interventions impact political, social, psychological, and economic empowerment and disempowerment. Disempowerment in the political, social, psychological, and economic spheres sometimes results in prejudice against women in society. As a result, the microfinance scheme for those living in rural areas emerged, concentrating on women as agents of social change. Consequently, several research that used a very broad definition of women empowerment and were published in journals with peer review were left out. To eliminate any uncertainty in the theoretical and empirical foundation, this study's examination of women's empowerment through microfinance is grounded in a comprehensive literature survey. A thorough literature review forms the basis of this study's analysis of women's empowerment via microfinance to ensure completeness in the empirical and theoretical underpinnings. According to the literature, finance as an example has not brought about the necessary socio-economic transformation and has even had negative effects in certain circumstances. However, this study demonstrates that the program for microfinance empowers women and lessens societal inequities to some level.

“…This is evident in many Asian cultural contexts that are more patriarchal than western cultures. For example, previous research by Mand, Atri, Gill, and Amiraslany () suggested Indian women entrepreneurs have been negatively impacted by the country's conservative culture. Moreover, Simmons, Wiklund, Levie, Bradley, and Sunny () in a study of 8,171 entrepreneurs from 35 countries using GEM data found women entrepreneurs are more deterred by failure compared to men, which affects their ability to reenter the marketplace.…”

There has been an increased interest in women's entrepreneurship research due to the changing sociocultural conditions in the global marketplace. Despite this trend, there is still a lack of understanding about the role women entrepreneurs play in the internationalization process of firms. The aim of this article is to systematically review the literature on women's entrepreneurship and internationalization by examining the trends in the research. A bibliometric analysis is conducted on articles in the Web of Science databases to understand which researchers are publishing the most and how they are related to other researchers in the field. In addition, a content analysis of the articles from the bibliometric analysis is conducted that reveals three main clusters from the research: (a) epistemological position and gender, (b) cultural and social reasons for the creation of businesses, and (c) motivations, business characteristics, and performance. From the bibliometric and content analysis, implications for policy makers and future research directions for women's entrepreneurship and internationalization patterns are stated.
