2.0. Literature Review

The female entrepreneurs have been making a lot of progress as far as the business aspect is
concerned and most of all 90 percentages of studies show that there tends to be traditional
supportive role. Female have very many strong and developed ideas that show that there have
been different involvement of people and most of the time women entrepreneurs are always
bound by business and there are general conflicts that are faced by female entrepreneurs.
Women have family pressures which most of the time is the root cause of development as the
female business owners are always bound by family while men tend to face less demands
from the business and family. (Wordquotient.com, 2016)

There are differences observed as far as the entrepreneurship qualities are concerned and
there are entrepreneurial qualities among women which make them better in business as they
are more focused and determined. Female entrepreneurs have the ability to manage all the
technical aspects and they are well educated in the recent times because they are aware that
they need to have the specific knowledge to manage important services. Majority of own had
started business and they lacked resources yet due to the managerial experiences they have
won and gained experience to work well. (Lane, 2001)

Women entrepreneurs tend to make the business to be more developed and also it is more
focused in their lives as female entrepreneurs need to be more understanding. The out-dated
concept of women not being able to work well has drastically changed and women are
equally participating in different tasks related with work and business. The benefit of having
many women entrepreneurs tend to be fruitful and effective as women are able to manage and
handle all the tasks which are related with business perspective and also it ensures that
women are helpful being the supportive leading ladies in business. (Loscocco and Bird, 2012)

Women entrepreneurs are very well focused and also they tend to adapt many useful
strategies which help them to learn and experience new things. (Lowies A, 2015) The women
entrepreneurs are having the desired experience and they work more efficiently and the only
factor which makes the women to lag behind is lack of motivation and moral support from
superior officials which makes it difficult for people and also women to sustain in business.
The majority of age group in which women seek work is 35-40 as the women belonging to
such age groups tend to prefer to have spending considerable time at work which sometimes
makes their children to be the barrier when women act as entrepreneurs in the initial stage.
(Peters, 2014)

Women have also seen successful in terms of areas as there will be priority set up in business
which makes them to be showing the required level interest and also will create positive
opportunities that make problems to reach out the majority. There are issues with female
entrepreneurs as they do not want to risk their lives which make them motivated and work
well enough keeping in mind to set up the regular priorities which will develop the skills of
female and make them persistent enough to work successfully. (Sant, 2008)
