| Summary: | The involvement of women entrepreneur in Malaysia has increased in the past few decades and
significantly contributed to Malaysian economy development. However, some perennial issues
and challenges constantly impeding women entrepreneurs from dominating entrepreneurial
activities. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate issues and challenges related to
women entrepreneurs especially when entering the global market. Subsequently, the objectives
of this study are to gather and examine pertinent information on women entrepreneurs and
how successful women entrepreneurs in Malaysia prepared and handled issues and challenges
arise during their international market penetration. For the purpose of capturing the required data, personal face-to-face interview with women entrepreneurs were conducted by using
purposive sampling approach. Specifically, 10 women entrepreneurs from the northern region
of Malaysia were involved in this study. The findings of this study provide some insights on
women issues and challenges specifically related to individual, organizational and environmental factors. The results also will be helpful to the individual (spouse and family) and government to give more support to the women entrepreneurs in terms of moral, financial and non-financial. |
