Case 1-1 Woman Entrepreneurs in Small Business

1. Since most developing countries don’t have the mass marketing amenities that the United States does, their encouragement tactics will have to stay somewhat basic. First of all, I think that the governments should team together with financial institutions and offer low rates for small business loans. These types of loans should be easily assessable and not appear tedious or impossible to get; otherwise, the potential applicant would be less likely to apply. Education for these entrepreneurs also needs to be available. Small business owners need to feel confident in their management skills and tactics. Almost like a work reimbursement program, this higher education could be tied to the loan. In essence, for good marks in courses, banks could lower interest rates or offer some other form of payback. The governments themselves could also, possibly through taxation, create an education surplus for entrepreneurial courses in secondary schools and universities. This way, using statistics as a guide, offer business courses to younger learners. This will create a knowledge base and therefore possibly more aggres

Because they are less emotional by nature, they have an easier time separating their feelings from their business. Women on the other hand, have a much more difficult time (a possible reason there has yet to be a woman president). An example of this was the Abigail/Gregory activity from class. All of us injected our moral feelings into the activity instead of looking at it objectively. The re
