The financial practices of women entrepreneurs : Senegalese examples.
African entrepreneurs in general, and women in particular, are confronted with two types of demands with distinctive temporalities : daily survival and the respect of long-term community obligations. Such a duality obliges them to reconsider management criteria : accordingly the amount of securities and debts becomes determinant. This article brings to light two principal results from the analysis of statistical and social data on the entrepreneurial activities of Senegalese women. The first concerns the magnitude and dynamics of financial activities : if women are able to stabilise their activities, it is due to their invention of new and collective forms of financial practices. The second bears on the diverse experiences that must be linked to the ambivalence in regard to debt. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
