“ Factors affecting entrepreneurial management in Bangladesh : an empirical analysis ”

Economic growth is considered as an important objective for national governments for which entrepreneurial management is required. This paper introduces issue on the business creation by women and the factors which are instrumental in their success including economics, institutions and infrastructural factors have been taken as major factors. The study used both primary and secondary sources. The study used hypotheses testing considering four factors of entrepreneurial facilities such as male and female entrepreneurs, infrastructural and institutional requirements, and economic factor whether helps to enhance growth of entrepreneurial management of the country. Authors’ observed that the nature of SME activities is less favorable for women entrepreneur than the men entrepreneur. The authors suggested that the number of women entrepreneurs at rural areas should be increased through establishing community banks at a cheaper rate. In the formal sector, financial organizations are being required for developing proper steps to poverty alleviation, public-private and foreign strategic alliances and implementation procedures are required with special emphasis on achieving sustainable development goals (SDGS) of the country.


Introduction 
Entrepreneurship is considered as the economic driving engine for both developed and developing countries and most of the countries are investing considerably on entrepreneurship development.Many governments around the world, mostly in developing countries, want to foster entrepreneurship and new firm formations emphasizing on socio-economic development and its sustainability (Klapper, Laeven & Rajan, 2006).Entrepreneurship means turning a new idea into a product or service which consequently provides increasing productivity, creating wealth, prosperity and employment (Davidsson, 2008;Benzing et al., 2009).A well-known definition described by Joseph Schumpeter: the entrepreneur "owns and directs an independent firm that innovatively and creatively destroys existing market structures" (as cited in Wennekers & Thurik, 1999, p. 48).Entrepreneurs with their skill in spotting opportunities and chances are creating and developing this business environment is being considered as real pioneers of economic growth and social developments (Ghavami and Lotfalipoor, 2008).Campbell (2016) described that an innovative entrepreneurial team uses sense making to enact its shared work.
The role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) sector is immense to alleviate the poverty from Bangladesh, as well SMEs are particularly suitable for the densely populated countries like Bangladesh where SME sector can provide huge employment opportunity with much lower investment.They are expected to create jobs, reduce poverty, and drive a resilient national economy.The international monetary fund (IMF) Country Report (2012) indicated that SMEs in Bangladesh accounted for more than 99% of private sector industrial establishments and created job opportunities for 70-80% of the nonagricultural labor force.
While the endogenous growth theory, triggered by Romer (1986) injected a new factor, knowledge, into growth models, there was still no recognition that anything resembling social capital made a difference in generating growth.However, recent work by Putnam (1993Putnam ( , 2002)), building on the earlier contributions of Jacobs (1961) and Coleman (1988), identified the importance and role of social capital.

Literature review
MacMiliand (1988) suggests that entrepreneurship be defined as the "creation of new enterprises".Another study by McMuliand and Long (1990) also refer to entrepreneurship as venture creation in their strategiccreativity theory of entrepreneurship.Begum (1993) identifies that an entrepreneur can be defined as one who initiates and establishes an economic activity or enterprise.The International Labor Organization (ILO, 1984), cited in Islam and defines an entrepreneur as a person with a set of characteristics that typically includes selfconfidence, result-oriented, risk taking, leadership, originality and future-oriented.
Momen and Begum (2006) measured the impact BRAC's micro credit program had for the development of rural women entrepreneurship.Afrin, Islam and Ahmed (2008) aimed at identifying the factors related to the development of entrepreneurship among the rural women borrowers through micro credit programs.
Chowdhury (2001) discusses that, in recent years developing countries of the world including Bangladesh has focused awareness on the most disadvantaged group in the society -the women.
According to the UNDP: Human Development Report (2004), a woman entrepreneur is defined as a woman who has alone or with one or more partners started or inherited a business, and is eager to take financial, administrative, and social risks and responsibilities, and participate in the day-to-day management activities.Sultana (2006) agrees all developments cannot be achieved without women's participations in the development sectors of the country.
Haque and Itohara (2009) and Rahman (2009) opines that, in the context of Bangladesh, in fact, women entrepreneurship development is a challenging phenomenon, as women are lagged behind economically and socially, compared to men.Hossain and Rahman (1999) confer that, in Bangladesh, women are victimized more because of their illiteracy, deprivation, lack of knowledge, unorganized, powerless or less political representation, rigid social customs, and injustice by their counter partners, particularly in rural areas.Braun (2011) explains women entrepreneurs have improved their living conditions and earned more respect in the family and the society.
According to BBS report (2009), women access to land, credits and other property (beside land) has improved increasingly with the point of 0.80, 0.30 and 0.50, respectively, which means that women are getting more access to loans than other assets.Rahman et al. (2011) discusses that these resource mobilizing institutions, in fact, motivated and encouraged rural women, and made them entrepreneurs, that is, agricultural entrepreneurs (crops, livestock and fisheries), small business owners, tailors, handicraftsmen and so on.
Raihan (2001) observes that the 50.53 percent of SMEs have no access to formal source of finance.Only 35.79 percent of SMEs enjoy unrestricted access to the formal credit.
Ahmed (1999,2004) pointed out that due to the lack of national quality policy and adequate support system, and also due to the lack of credibility of the quality certification authority, SMEs of Bangladesh have failed to ensure the quality of products and services both in domestic and international markets.Sulaiman (2005) observed that the 50.53 percent of SMEs had no access to formal source of finance.Only 35.79 percent of SMEs enjoy unrestricted access to the formal credit.Of the rest 13.68 percent have restricted access to formal credit.
Rahman and Mahmood (2007) mention that small and medium enterprises are the backbone of the economy in countries like Bangladesh.Hasan and Islam (2008) identify that banks usually do not express interest towards SME financing.Bangladesh Bank Report (2008) said that the key reasons behind the SMEs are not entering into manufacturing but are financial constrains, dismal state of utilities, technology and policy discriminations.
Growth of SMEs in developing countries is certainly a desirable goal in view of their perceived contribution to decentralized job creation and generation of output (Chen, 2011).In developing economy like Bangladesh, SMEs play a significant role in the development of the economy by creating employment opportunities and producing useful machine substitutes and machinery parts saving huge amount of foreign currency for the country (Chowdhury, 2008).About 6.0 million SMEs are actively performing in Bangladesh which were contributing 25 per cent of the total GDP, employing about 31 million people and providing 75 per cent of household income.Various categories of SMEs together contribute between 80 to 85 per cent of industrial employment and 23 percent of total employment in Bangladesh (Chowdhury, 2008).Khanka (2002) refers to women entrepreneurs as those who innovate, imitate or adopt a business activity.Given that entrepreneurship is the set of activities performed by an entrepreneur, it could be argued that being an entrepreneur precedes entrepreneurship.Schutte et al. (1995) suggested that the male entrepreneurs have been extensively studied and the focus has now shifted to the study of female entrepreneurs, their background, motivation for star ting a business and business problems faced by them are based on studies of male entrepreneurs.Further John (2004) discussed that it is important to differentiate entrepreneurs on the basis of gender if women entrepreneurship is to be promoted.Rinkal et al. (2004) commented that women in present times, they seek social and economic independence and are prepared to take risk for the same.Mitchell (2004) found that women entrepreneurs tend to be motivated by the need to provide security to their families and by their family circumstances.
In the opinion of Watson (2003), there are quite a number of potential systematic differences between male and female owners that might explain why female-owned businesses appear to underperform than male owned businesses.According to Jesselyn (2004), developing countries should also tap the potential of women entrepreneurs.Garga and Bagga (2009) defined women entrepreneurship as the women or a group of women who initiate, organize and operate a business enterprise.According to Kumar (2006), government of India has defined women entrepreneurs as an enterprise owned and controlled by a women having a minimum financial interest of 51% of the capital and giving at least 51% of employment generated in the enterprise to women.
Most entrepreneurs in developing countries face an unstable business environment and the bureaucratic rules of private firms, especially business registration and taxation systems, are complicated (Benzing et al., 2009).Lamei (2002) observed that rules and regulations set by the government in the economy, not only provide grounds for entrepreneurial and production activities, but also they act as a barrier to the growth of entrepreneurship in small industries.
A study by Benzing et al. (2009) showed complex tax structure, inability to find and hire a trustworthy and reliable staff, lack of familiarity with accounting concepts and a weak economy are the most important barriers for the entrepreneurs in Turkey.Zhuplev and Shtykhno (2009) studied the barriers of entrepreneurs of Russian small businesses.Studies show that the barriers facing entrepreneurs in developing economies are: weak economy, limited access to financial capital, inability to find and hire a reliable and trusted staff, and tight competition (Benzing et al., 2005;Chu et al., 2007).Cook (2001) also stated that the owners of SMEs in developing economies often complain of insufficient funds.Ozsoy et al. (2001) also reported that obtaining loans from public and private organizations is another problem for entrepreneurs in Turkey.Business owners often must rely on the financial needs of personal and family resources.Kozan et al. (2006) also reported that insufficient funds to significantly inhibit the growth of businesses in Turkey.Another problem facing entrepreneurs in developing countries is the excessive regulations which often lead to long delays and costly processes (Macculloch, 2001).
Studied by Yusuf (1995) indicated good management skills, access to financing individual characteristics and satisfactory support of government are the most important factors for successful entrepreneurs.Similarly, a study by Pratt (2001) showed that access to capital, having business skills, previous experiences and family support are the most important factors of entrepreneurial success.Kozan et al. (2006) also reported that business and financial management training significantly associated with the development plans of owners of small and medium enterprises.
In India (Kaur and Bawa, 1992), 54 per cent of women entrepreneurs had started their business with their own personal savings and some financial assistance from their spouse, 23 per cent received finances from their parents, 13 per cent from relatives and friends and only 10 per cent from government agency and nationalized banks.Entrepreneurship by definition implies being in control of one's life and activities.It is precisely this independence that many societies have denied women (Vishwanathan, 2001).
Entrepreneurial activity explodes through the efficiency-driven stage and culminates in a high level of innovation with entrepreneurship leveling out (Acs, 2010).2. Objectives of the study 2.1.Broad objective.The broad objective of the study is to complete post doctoral research from Naresuan University, Thailand.

Specific objectives:
 to examine entrepreneurs and compare differences between men and women in terms of the factors contributing to their success and those that act as barriers to entrepreneurial success at the country;  to assess the effectiveness of economic factors of the emergences entrepreneurial management schemes with the help of government and/or financial institutions of Bangladesh;  to examine entrepreneurs and compare differences between men and women in terms of the factors contributing to their success and those that act as barriers to entrepreneurial success;  to provide suggestions for increasing effective and efficient entrepreneurial activities in Bangladesh.

Institutionalization. Entrepreneurship and institutional change set out to examine how
entrepreneurship may influence the nature and configuration of institutions within specific socioeconomic contexts.North (1990) identified two distinct processes of institutional change: (i) resulting from entrepreneurial innovation, (ii) occurring through direct action to alter institutions.
Empirical research distinguishes between three types of entrepreneurial action as part of the political process.This involves three types of action: passive adaptation and evasion, active adaptation and resistance.In some instances, changes in institutions through these processes may be the result of unintended action.More importantly, however, the institutional setting is defined by the prevailing state of industrial arts (technology) over that period.
Entrepreneurs are of paramount importance, as it is they whose idle curiosity advances the state of industrial arts, and subsequently the institutional setting.Drawing from a very different theoretical tradition (the Austrian School), Yu (2001) also examines the institution changing potential of entrepreneurs through innovation.He uses Kirzner's concept of extraordinary discovery as the catalyst that initiates the destruction of prevailing institutions and the creation of market uncertainty.
An institutional perspective on innovation is also examined by Lounsbury and Crumley (2007) where they demonstrate how performance driven variation in money management practices of the US mutual fund industry spurred field wide efforts to establish a new innovation (1997).Interestingly, the second process of institutional change identified in theory is developed by North (1990), the economist who placed new institutionalism in the centre of contemporary debates.North (2005) argued that the political organizations that have to exist within the prevailing institutional context, have an interest in its perpetuation that can produce 'gridlock'.

Women and business growth.
The expansion of the firm is an influential factor in female entrepreneurship.Several authors concur in indicating that most women start up small-scale businesses, both in terms of turnover and numbers of employees (Carter & Rosa, 1998;Cowling & Taylor, 2001;Cuba et al., 1983;ENSR, 1996;Hisrich & Brush, 1983;Humphreys & McClung, 1981;Scott, 1986).As a result, the size of the firm, which is often used as a basis for gauging performance, leads to the conception that the generally small-sized firms created by women represent a weakness in their capacity as business owners.Commonly cited causes for the creation of smaller-sized firms by women are, on the one hand, the greater difficulties they encounter in finding resources to finance their projects, and on the other hand, a lack of specific knowledge to successfully carry out the tasks involved in running a business.
Evidently, both reasons are related to discrimination towards women in the job market.However, other studies (Bird, 1988;Cooper, 1993;Davidsson, 1991;Herron & Robinson, 1993) have shown that business expansion also depends on the motivation of owners and their attitude and intentions with regard to the future of the firm.According to the LFS, 25 per cent of 16 million employed women belong to the 'self-employed' category, who may be considered as entrepreneurs.Thus, there are 4 million women entrepreneurs in Bangladesh.Though the numbers seem attractive, 62 per cent of the self employed women are working in the agricultural sector having limited capacity to generate employment for other women.These activities are cropping, livestock and poultry rearing, fish farming, nursery and tree planting, tool making, handcrafting, food processing, tailoring, rice processing, etc.
Only 12.7 percent women are self-employed in manufacturing, which has higher potential to generate employment for other women.It is to be noted that 20 per cent of self-employed women are involved in wholesale and retail trade.If we consider entrepreneurship to be running an enterprise having capacity to generate employment for others, then, the women who are involved in manufacturing and trading meet the requirement.Thus, 32.7 per cent of total self-employed women or 8.3 per cent of total employed women are entrepreneurs.

Access to finance -most crucial problem faced by women entrepreneurs
 Bangladesh Bank's refinancing scheme is a praise-worthy initiative to help SMEs, especially women entrepreneurs.However, this is yet to reach its anticipated goal. According to this scheme, 15 per cent of the SME loan should go to women entrepreneurs, which could not reach even 5 percent level yet. The commercial banks that are responsible to disburse the loan, are not always serious about catering to the women entrepreneurs. Though a maximum of 10 per cent is supposed to be charged as interest under this scheme, the women entrepreneurs face an effective rate of much more than 15 percent in course of their repayment process.Moreover, NGOs are charging interest rate from 27.5% to 45% real effective interest rate.Such high rate of interest discourages women to take loan to start or expand their businesses. Women should also show professionalism in their business so that they run the business with full information and market access facilities to ensure profitability.
The Industrial Policy-2010 stipulates several useful goals to broaden the participation of women entrepreneurs from different perspective.As such, technological development and digitization is needed.To successfully arranging digitization, besides govt.initiatives, private sector should proceed with creating digital skill, Internet connectivity, and website development for business purposes for e-SMEs.Digital potentialities, sustainability, strategies, formulation of guiding principle, elimination of blockade and execution enriching digital innovation through infrastructural development is required.To see whether digitization is working in the entrepreneurial management, monitoring and supervising is required.Meanwhile, the 6 th Five year Plan of Bangladesh calls for establishment of telecenter/community e-centers with internet facilities across all unions and increasing tele-density to 70 per cent by 2015.Both targets have been met and Bangladesh is on -track to achieve 90 per cent -by 2021 -a key long-term strategic goal of the Perspective Plan (source: http://www.plancomm.gov.bd/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/18_Achieving-Digital-Bangladesh-by-2021-and-Beyond.pdf).
Without physical infrastructure, redistribution channel cannot properly work and supply chain management is not feasible.Domestic value chain and global value chain should be acquainted with the rural sector of Bangladesh which will expedite the SMEs business.Technical know-how should be spread out at the remote areas.Since independence of the country, public infrastructure was trying to establish in different areas.ICT infrastructure is currently developing under public sector.Road transportation and also railway is developing.However, river transportation system should be improved.Structure of the business pattern depends on local economies, demography and rules and regulations, tax patterns, availability of mapping of the business support service.Business environment and to ease business process largely depends on infrastructure of a country.Micro foundation of macro policy for doing SME businesses are correlated with supportive institutions which cannot work without infrastructure.Infrastructural development also helps for attaining self-esteem, self-realization, freedom from hunger, freedom from ignorance and source of identity.
Infrastructural development has a greater responsibility in economic development of the country.As such, we may consider infrastructure as an important factor for entrepreneurial management.

Methodology of the study
The study based on both primary and secondary data sources.The endeavor involves both quantitative and qualitative research.Secondary data were collected from research reports, journals, newspapers, websites, and statistical reports of various relevant organizations, as indicated in the references.The study considered economic factors, the contribution of male and female entrepreneurs, barriers of entrepreneurial activities, infrastructural and institutional requirements in the context of past, present and future.This study uses primary data to address the objectives, questionnaire survey, meetings and stakeholder consultations.Data from the respondents were collected during the period from 1 October, 2015 to 15, February, 2016.Entire research including writing and report submission was completed by 29 June, 2016.
The study used hypotheses testing considering four factors of entrepreneurial facilities such as male and female entrepreneurs, infrastructural and institutional requirements, and economic factor whether helps to enhance growth of entrepreneurial management of the country.The response scales dependence on the questionnaire items.After gathering data, then tabulate the data and will do reliability test, Chi-Square test, as well as factor analysis.
The study prepared a structured questionnaire to conduct the based on the knowledge gained from field visits.
From the 10 Thanas/Upazilas of Dhaka district was considered as the population and 164 firms unit were selected for the study.According to the unit of analysis, 105 men and women entrepreneur proportionately from Dhaka district will be collected.Processed data were analyzed and interpreted by using descriptive, as well as inferential statistical techniques.

Hypotheses testing.
Four hypotheses testing will be done.The study will accept or reject the null hypothesis based on findings, which are:  The average age of the small enterprises surveyed was 6.65 years, reporting an annual turnover of Tk. 1.9 million per firm in the year of 2015, where the female entrepreneur possess lower characteristics than male entrepreneur (as shown on Table 2) .In the same year, it was also revealed that the number of average full-time employees was reported 17 persons, where the female entrepreneur considered as the owner of small size industry the male entrepreneur.On the question about the managerial experience the entrepreneurs possess, they reported an average of 10.2 year.In this case, female entrepreneur possess less experience regarding business management than the male entrepreneur.
Researcher has identified variables that constrain the entrepreneurship development and success in SMEs on the basis of opinions of entrepreneurs (both male and female) and review of existing literatures which are tabulated below in Table 3.The researchers have collected opinions from 105 sample professionals on five point Likert scale in order to identify the factors that constrain the entrepreneurship development in SMEs.It is evident from Table 3 that thirty one constraints have been found as the constraints of the entrepreneurship development and success.These are shown in the following table: It has also identified that ten other factors, as influential constraints on the same basis.These are:  lack of market knowledge;  lack of information on market opportunities;  complicated process in registering and licensing of business;  too long waiting for documents to be prepared and sent to firms;  too many documents are needed for submission;  limited access to information on government regulations that are relevant to the business;  additional payments to corruption; too much queuing in all offices;  corruption and bribery among officials;  tax regulations is complicated;  family/husband do not support business activities.
Among the thirty one factors, four factors have been identified as less influential barriers to the entrepreneurship development which are: complicated regulations on employment; complicated health & safety regulations; complicated environmental regulations; and imperfect competition "black market".Here from the Table 4, it can be found that the Cronbach's Alpha score (α=0.880) which is higher than acceptable limit of > 0.70.This indicates good internal consistency of the variables in the scale for the factors effecting entrepreneurship development.

Construct validity:
The raw data captured on a 5 point Likert scale.Yet, the scaling had altogether a different measurement with a set of questions are measured on scale having choices as Not very important, Not important, Important, Very important, No opinion.In this regard, the items were transformed into z-scores and then sum them to form the composite z-score.Non-parametric test is applied to transformed z-scores.

Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
MANOVA has been applied to these factors and the result is depicted in Table 7.It is observed from Table 8 (MANOVA result) that there is a significant (statistically) difference between men and women in terms of factors contributing to entrepreneurship development and their success as entrepreneurs.It is observed from Table 8 that there are significant differences between men and women in terms of information and knowledge factors contributing to entrepreneurship development and their success as entrepreneurs (F = 15.297,p = 0.001, p < 0.01).On the other hand, interestingly, there are no statistical evidence to conclude that the sub component namely-Strategic and Management Competences (F = .019,p = .892,p > 0.05); Infrastructural Factor (F = .253,p = .616,p > 0.05); Economic Factor (F = 2.370, p = .097,p > 0.05); Institutional Factor (F = 1.707, p = .194,p > 0.05); Political and Legal Factor (F = .281,p = .597,p > 0.05) have significant influence on entrepreneurship development and success.

Conclusion and implications
The results lead us to conclude that the nature of SME activities is less favorable for women entrepreneur than the men entrepreneur.This may be due to high degree of discrimination, insufficient resource utilization and less capital investment and poor status of SME development and in sufficient capital and logistic support of both government and private sectors.Rural women are still lagging behind, which needs big push.Women should get more digital access and financial inclusion for the betterment of the economy.Economic factors, institutionalization and infrastructural factors play significant role.However, we hope that policy makers will come forward to establish community based banking at the rural area so that formal financial channel can be strengthened and squeezed out informal sector and at low cost financial transaction can be developed instead of costly electronic banking system.It is a very much unfortunate that wealthy women entrepreneur and women Chamber of Commerce does not properly support low level women to do entrepreneurship.Role of SME foundation at Bangladesh is not appropriate.In the formal sector, financial organizations are being required for increasing appropriate steps to poverty alleviation, public-private and foreign strategic alliances and execution.Measures are required with special emphasis to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGS) of the country.
For SMEs at rural area, organizational development and structural and cultural development at low cost, but high quality product are required.Diversification of the product is being required.Moreover, import substitution industrialization and export oriented industry should be set up under balanced manner-both vertical and horizontal integration is required.Meyer and Arntzen (2016) described that through a sponsorship framework, business incubators organized and manage the incubator process in order to assist the tenant firms, and the proximal outcomes from this process.In rural areas of Bangladesh, business incubator through community based system should be developed by collaborative effort.
Most of low employed men and women concentrate at low earnings position, low demand for female labor, due to unequal access to labor market, factors related to their limited education and unskilled working capacity.There are also small scale self employed groups in SME sectors.Most of these activities are still running without any formal support and approval by the government.Poverty of the population causes low rate of economic growth and unfavorable income opportunities between male and female workers.Though present government has taken different policies to improve their lifestyle, but in the implementation process bureaucracy by both public and private sector with high interest rate played negative role.More intensive and pragmatic policy with execution should be taken for the expansion of the SME sector particularly for self motivated entrepreneurs.
Though the present study aims to fulfill the research gap, but all aspects could not be covered.For instance, in the backdrop of poor SME performance in the business enterprises of Bangladesh, a study as to the socio-politicaleconomic factors affecting SMEs and the resulting poor performance of SME activities may be undertaken.Secondly, in this age of modern challenges of business organization, strategic decision to get a competitive advantage can be found by identifying the means adding values to the stakeholders of a business.A separate study should be done why Bangladesh Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BWCCI), Bangladesh Federation of Women Entrepreneurs' and wealthy women entrepreneurs in maximum cases cannot help rural poor women to become small entrepreneur or to become self-reliant in true sense.

Implications
Experiences from the field indicate that once the rural poor should be mobilized and working together in self controlled community based organizations.They can better harness local resources for income generating activities and form cartel system with other social forces to make their self-reliant.Institutions and infrastructure plays important role for entrepreneurship development.
Without economical factor, entrepreneurial management is not feasible.When women entrepreneurs as large number will participate in the socio-economic activity then the economic progress will be raised.As such removal of gender biasness along with economic factor, infrastructure and institutionalization are very important factors for sustainable SMEs which can increase socio-economic development of the country.

Fig. 1.Relationship between economic development and entrepreneurship Source: Porter et al. (2002) as mentioned by Zoltan J. Acs (2010).Without economic activities entrepreneurial management is not feasible.The transition from nascent entrepreneurship to an operational business or early survival and continuation of a new firm have been attributed to individual characteristics of the founders, structural characteristics of the new firm, or conditions of the environment (Beugelsdijk and Noorderhaven, 2005; Bruderl et al., 1992).The specific means we study: motivation and cognitions (who they are), knowledge and experience (what they know) and social support (whom they know).We borrow this classification framework (Read and Sarasvathy, 2005) only for organizing the layout of our review of the prior theoretical developments pertinent to our investigations.

Table 1 .
(Nunnally & Bernstein, 1994)e this issue (Du Rietz & Henrekson, 2000; Fischer, Reuber, & Dyke, 1993; Rosa,Carter & Hamilton, 1996)indicate that the size of the firm is also related to the different motivation and attitudes towards growth on the part of women entrepreneurs in comparison with men.Although gender differences are not always present in terms of the tendency to take business risks An optimum value is considered to be above or equal to 0.7(Nunnally & Bernstein, 1994).Labor Force Survey (Humphreys & McClung, 1981; appears to be lower amongst women entrepreneurs(Humphreys & McClung, 1981; Schwartz, 1976).Women certain authors (Brush, 1992; Stoner, Hartman & Arora, 1990) summarize that women perceive discriminatory treatment from banks.However, these financial institutions indicate that such differences are due to the profile of the entrepreneur; reasoning which is supported by the research of Riding andSwift (1990).With regard to the validity and flexibility of the dependent factors (motivation and barriers) and the independent factor (success factors), firstly used Cronbach's alpha model of internal consistency to verify the reliability of the scale for each dimension, as this allows us to ascertain whether the scale indicators are homogenous and, therefore, measure the same latent variable.Labor force participation rate of women (percentage of women aged 15 years and above who are part of labor force either employed or unemployed) has increased from 15.8 per cent in 1995-96 to 36 per cent in 2010.However, according to the Labor Force Survey (LFS) 2010, out of 35 million women aged 15 years and above, only 17 million are part of labor force -16 million are employed and the rest unemployed.Again, 92 per cent of these women are working in the informal sector.While the upward trend in women's participation in labor force is a matter of appreciation, we still have very few women entrepreneurs.
This can help to uplift life cycle of the low income strata of the people.Twitter, Facebook, etc., are nowadays used by the richer segment of the people for business purposes.Ifrural people can be habituated with social media and/or social networking, then, they can lower down their production cost.But this depends on digital knowledge for which govt. is trying to spread through the expansion of digitization.Social capital should be properly utilized.Through effective utilization of social capital, customer responsiveness can be increased and handled efficiently and effectively.Social phobia and taboo is gradually changing and female are encouraging to build their social networking for doing business in Bangladesh.In the remote village, besides non-farm activities such as goat rearing, innovative business ideas among the poor people have been giving new dimension and varieties of product like arts and handicrafts, folk songs, folk dance, skills development programs for youth living with disabilities, community theater, nursery and botanical garden, multimedia and creativity, etc., which is highly compatible and sustainable.Social business in the country prevails more than thousand years not only in Bangladesh, but also in this Asian region.Because when a people are in a problem than his/her relatives, friends, neighbors help them to come out the crisis which works under a social framework in the informal structure.The main objectives in the ancient time was to help one another.Most important three ingredients of business are: Social obligations, legality and profit (profit may be cash or kind).In modern theory, we call it corporate social responsibility.But in a money centric society values, morality and ethics declined.
