THE CHANGING PATTERN OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS: THE SINGAPORE EXPERIENCE
In: Women in Management Review, Volume 6, Issue 6
A survey of 16 female entrepreneurs in Singapore, by interview or
questionnaire, to establish their present characteristics and changes
over the last two decades was conducted. They were found to be better
educated than the general population of women, concentrated in the
service sector, to own small or medium‐sized businesses, and to be
moving into high growth industries in disproportionately high numbers.
Fewer women than previously are family business helpers and inheritance
of a business is also less important.
