Summary: Women Entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa: An Overview -- Women Entrepreneurs in Cameroon -- Women Entrepreneurs in Ethiopia -- Women Entrepreneurs in Ghana -- Women Entrepreneurs in Kenya -- Women Entrepreneurs in Lesotho -- Women Entrepreneurs in Namibia -- Women Entrepreneurs in Nigeria -- Women Entrepreneurs in Sierra Leone -- Women Entrepreneurs in South Africa -- Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania -- Women Entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe.Summary: According to a 2018 World Bank report, Africa is the only region with more women than men choosing to become entrepreneurs – a phenomenon that is not the subject of adequate discussion. This book reveals the latest research-based understanding of the entrepreneurial activities of women in sub-Saharan Africa. Specially invited subject experts present salient dimensions of entrepreneurship by African women, from environmental factors to motivations and influencers as well as financial and non-financial constraints, and highlight the significant role of cultural differences. This book provides a mixture of theoretical, conceptual, and empirical research, and fills the knowledge gap by presenting a wide range of opportunities and challenges faced by sub-Saharan African women entrepreneurs. This book will help policy makers and academic researchers in understanding the role of institutions and entrepreneurship policy in building a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region.PPN: PPN: 1807343642Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-BUM | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXBM
