| Summary: | In Uganda, women have found alternative forms of employment through entrepreneurship, though research indicates
that males tend to dominate in the field of entrepreneurship. However, women can succeed in entrepreneurship if they
have the right information, abilities, resources, and encouragement. This study sought to provide deeper insights on
opportunity recognition as a competence that influences the performance of female-led/owned enterprises. It concentrates
on women’s ability to recognize entrepreneurial opportunities, and how this impact on the performance of women-owned/led enterprises. This study presented a conceptual model predicting the performance of women entrepreneurs,
building on the body of literature already available in the fields of women entrepreneurship, and opportunity
recognition of women entrepreneurs. The article concluded with significant theoretical and practical research
implications and offers avenues for future research. |
