The role of Palestinian women entrepreneurs in business development

Abstract

Generally, the study is designed to identify the factors that influence the performance of businesses owned by women entrepreneurs in light of the challenges they face in the Palestinian context. The aim is to provide insights into their entrepreneurial capabilities, behaviors and the growth strategies developed and used to achieve the desired results. The examination of the entrepreneur’s capabilities and personal characteristics, her ability to attract resources, exploit opportunities and manage these resources, as well as her refusal to be limited by resource scarcity could provide a deeper understanding of the behavior of women entrepreneurs in their pursuit of growth in extremely hostile settings.
