Entrepreneurial capital, social values and Islamic traditions: Exploring the growth of women-owned enterprises in Pakistan
研究巴基斯坦女性企业成长的影响因素，发现个人资源、社会资本及家庭支持对销售和就业增长有显著作用。
This study seeks to explore the variables contributing to the growth of women-owned enterprises in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Based on a previously established multivariate model, it uses two econometric approaches: first classifying variables into predetermined blocks; and second, using the general to specific approach. Statistical analyses and in-depth interviews confirm that women entrepreneurs’ personal resources and social capital have a significant role in their business growth. Further, it reveals that the moral support of immediate family, independent mobility and being allowed to meet with men play a decisive role in the sales and employment growth of women-owned enterprises in an Islamic country such as Pakistan.
