The Role of Women in Business from the Perspective of Behaviorism

In many parts of the developing country, women have far more financial chance overall today than they did a generation ago. Women’s health, education, and labor force contribution levels have grown significantly, rising living standards and strengthening humanities worldwide. Nowadays, despite women’s tendency toward participation in economic, social, and cultural affairs, females’ entrepreneurship became so limited and there seems to be no optimal use of their abilities in business. However, a prominent indication of developed countries is female entrepreneurship. A method for increasing women’s participation in economic affairs and business is conducted by appropriate plans and policies by government officials. Current research is done by using library and survey. Studies in the research show that knowing different aspects of business and the method in which each person enters the area, can save the country from economic crisis according to behaviorist psychologists.

Commercial Law Reform in Africa: A Means of Socio-Economic Development, but for Whom? Perspective of Women Entrepreneurs in Benin

This thesis explores the relationship between formal commercial law in Benin and women’s on-the-ground business practices. It constitutes the starting point of the author’s doctoral project in the course of which she intends to further pursue her research on the impact of the OHADA commercial law on socio-economic development in the region. As such, the author would welcome receiving comments and criticisms.The dissertation first looks at the evolution of business law and of economic activity in the region from pre-colonial times to present where OHADA Uniform Acts ('Acts') constitute Beninese formal commercial law’s primary source. The thesis then examines elements of business women’s socio-cultural realities and economic practices in the region (some of which were observed during empirical research carried out in Benin) to assess the extent to which they are accounted for in the Acts, these being largely inspired by French and foreign law. While the Acts may benefit foreign companies that contribute to the region’s economic vitality to varying extents, the analysis reveals that considerable gap that continues to exist between the OHADA regime and the preoccupations of micro, small and medium (in particular female) enterprises in Benin. This prevents many Beninese citizens and enterprises from playing a greater role in the socio-economic development of their country. The dissertation suggests that the paradigms and methods currently used by OHADA and international organizations such as the World Bank in their law reform activities do not take appropriate account of the identity of legal actors in the region (banks, small, medium and large entrepreneurs, micro-credit institutions, financiers, etc.), the dynamics between them and the role of women in business. It argues in favor of business modernization techniques that would make echo to the norms regulating local economic agents conduct and realities rather that be founded overwhelmingly on reform models elaborated outside of their application context.

Women Participation: Paradoxes in Management of Small Scale Industries: Urban – Rural Disparities

Role of women in business is on the increase from a global perspective. Significant importance is given towomen’s role in small business ventures to ensure women empowerment. However, no initiative was taken inpast research to identify regional disparities in the level of women participation in day-to-day management. Theaim of encouraging women participation in business ventures was not only to ensure success to their endeavoursbut also to assure social and economic development in both rural and urban sectors. Conceptualizing theimportance of aforesaid move and the degree of its impact on women enterprises, this study attempts to identifythe regional dichotomy in the level of women participation by focusing on nine urban and six rural smallbusiness units purposively selected from two States in India. Hypotheses were tested with primary data collectedwith questionnaire administered in aforesaid regions focusing on a sample of 200 women entrepreneurs. Chi andz tests were used and results were modelled to express regional disparity in level and nature of womenparticipation. This study developed a new paradigm that facilitates further research in this field.

Gender and Small Business Management: The Case of Norway in the 1990s

OLAV R. SPILLING IS WITH THE CENTRE FOR Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship, Norwegian School of Management, Sandvika, and Nina Gunnerud Berg is with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. The first is based on the Population Census, 1990 and provides representative data on self-employment and (self-reported) management positions in private as well as public businesses in the whole population. The second data set, from 1995, links data on all registered firm managers and board chairmen to data on firms recorded in the Central Register of Firms and Establishments. It provides comprehensive data on the share of male and female managers in various industries and size groups of companies. As far as self-employment is concerned, the data reveal a share of female self-employed of 25 per cent, which is comparable with the situation in other European countries, but below shares reported from the United States. However, the data reveal that self-employment has different meanings to men and women as female self-employment generally means to be in an economically more marginal position than is the situation for self-employed men. The data on business managers (top executives) reveal very small shares for women compared with men. Women managers are mainly in smaller firms, and even among these the share is rather small with, on average, about 16 per cent; for board chairmen the percentage is even smaller with about 10 per cent. The larger the firms, the smaller is the share of female managers, and they are virtually absent in the larger firms. When summarising the data, it turns out that businesses with female managers account for about 7 per cent of total private sector employment, and about 5 per cent of total turnover. Furthermore, the data reveal that to the extent women go into business as managers, they do so in sectors where women traditionally have a strong position in the labour market but even among these sectors very few have a majority of female managers. The general conclusion of this paper is that current research based on data on self-employment tends to give a too optimistic picture of the role of women in business. the vast majority of businesses managed by women are very small, and taking into account the 'weight' of their businesses, the role of women in business is still rather marginal.

The Social Shaping of Business Behaviour in the Nineteenth-Century Women's Garment Trades

A popular account ofthe development ofthe clothing trade in the South Bridge area of Edinburgh, published in 1901 as a publicity device by J. and R. Allan Ltd., a major department store owned by a male entrepreneur, failed to mention a single firm that was owned and operated by a woman, despite the fact that the women's garment trade had been centred on this area ofthe city for decades and there were numerous women with premises in South Bridge.1 This history of economic development in turn-of-the-century Edinburgh?like the similar histories of many other cities during the same period?provides a narrative of business evolution in which the rise of individual firms such as J. and R. Allan Ltd. is linked to the municipal and political affairs ofthe city.2 Women, of course, had no tradition of formal association with the administration of cities or nations and were consequently invisible to such commentators in the past.3 The preoccupations of modern historians have also obscured our understand? ing of the scale and role of women in business. There is a rhetoric common to most business histories that suggests that modern capitalist firms act on the basis of a uniform economic agenda and that behaviour within firms is dictated by entrepreneurial ambition. Such rhetoric was also articulated in the past, es? pecially in contemporary accounts of nineteenth-century business, with their focus on the self-made man, the individualist owner-manager, often engaged in heroic technical innovation and a dedicated pursuit of growth.4 Successful businesses?defined according to market share, employee numbers, commit? ment to innovation, and length of survival?have dominated the interests of business historians, and business behaviour that restricts growth, or innovation, or profit maximization has been characterised as the failure of entrepreneurship.5 Though size-dualism is widely recognised as a one ofthe defining characteristics of nineteenth-century business in Britain, and the vast majority of businesses were small in scale and unmodernised in their structure and strategy, business and economic historians have tended to find this a problematic phenomenon.6 The flowering of women's history over the past twenty years has raised aware? ness of the presence of women in the nineteenth-century business world in certain contexts, particularly in the early-modern period7 and in such pioneer economies as the United States.8 We know a great deal more about women's roles within the family context of small-scale retail,9 and women's contributions to family-firm finance or their strategic marriages to support business partnerships has generated much interest.10 The impact of gender on corporate development and on the internal characteristics of large financial business has also attracted
