Developing framework of successful women entrepreneurs in United Arab Emirates (UAE)
description <p>This research aims to investigate the factors leading to the success of Emirati women</p><p>entrepreneurs. It also investigates the drivers, enablers and barriers toward their success</p><p>helping further to design a framework for successful women entrepreneurs. This study</p><p>adopted a qualitative approach using purposive sampling to select thirty successful</p><p>Emirati women entrepreneurs from different sectors. The study utilized the face-to-face</p><p>in-depth interview using semi-structured questions and thematic analysis was used to</p><p>analyze the data collected from the interviews. Several themes emerged from the</p><p>findings to represent the drivers, enablers and barriers faced by the women</p><p>entrepreneurs. The women entrepreneurs regard women entrepreneurs motivation, the</p><p>unsatisfied work conditions and the benefits seen from being entrepreneur, as the main</p><p>driver of their success. The findings also unveiled that the entrepreneurs personal</p><p>characteristics, the family support and the Government support are the main enablers</p><p>leading the Emirati women entrepreneurs to their success. While the male-dominant</p><p>culture, the lack of awareness and the lack of training are the major barriers to their</p><p>success. In conclusion, this research has created a framework that represents a roadmap</p><p>for the success of women entrepreneurs. The main pillars of this framework consist on</p><p>the coordination between external factors such as culture, awareness and Government</p><p>institutions; and internal factors such as personal characteristics, entrepreneurs skills,</p><p>family role and financial availability. This study can be adopted by policy makers and</p><p>financial institutions in UAE and other Middle Eastern countries to provide a guideline</p><p>for women entrepreneurs to succeed in their business.</p>
