description |
Business training in low-income
countries have scarcely shown impacts on revenues and
profits, especially for female entrepreneurs. In this study,
we test two kinds of trainings, one basic in-class training
and one enhanced version supplemented with individualized
coaching, to test their respective impact on women with
established small businesses in Tanzania. We found that
targeting the right entrepreneurs can improve the
effectiveness of a tailored training and even lead to
improvements in performance. We also determined that the
content and delivery method of business support provided to
the female entrepreneurs impact their adoption of business practices. |
