| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine factors affecting the performance of women entrepreneurs in Tanzania. This study was thus developed under the assumption that, the performance of women entrepreneurs in Tanzania is very low and not uniform among women groups and individuals. The literature survey led to the hypotheses that: 1. Performance of women in business is directly proportional to the level of education. That is the higher the level of education of the woman in business, the higher the profit of her business and vice versa. 2. Performance of women in business is directly related to the amount of capital injected in business. That is to say, the higher the amount of capital put into business the higher the profit and vice versa. Findings related to the hypotheses have shown that performance of women entrepreneurs is not uniform. It varies from one woman to another. Generally the findings have shown that education and capital have impact on the performance of women entrepreneurs. Apart from these two factors, other factors were explored by this study which among others included competition, high income tax rates, seasonality of demand and instability of prices. The study also found out that, other factors such as the nature and the location of the business should be considered in future research. Also a time series study could be useful to determine the growth of women entrepreneurs in Tanzania. | en_US |
