A Cross-Country Study on Women Entrepreneurship through the CAGE Analysis: Evidences from China and Turkey

Abstract

Global changes have advanced the understanding of entrepreneurship towards the embracement of gender, and, thereby, women entrepreneurship become more prominent. Yet, inadequate attention paid to women entrepreneurship in studies, especially in developing countries, also caused a blurry picture for rendering the practices of women entrepreneurs. For investigating policies and structures of developing countries regarding women entrepreneurship, some particular components, which are economic and non-economic, remained pivotal. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the idiosyncratic characteristics of two indicative developing countries, China and Turkey, for women entrepreneurship and evaluate them through the CAGE analysis aspects. The findings regarding both contexts contribute to the entrepreneurship literature, especially to the women entrepreneurship since it is at its infancy, and to the theories of social network and strong ties. Moreover, the implementation of the CAGE analysis advances the nascent knowledge on its usage in entrepreneurship through the evidences from women entrepreneurship. The presented approach and findings can be used as reference by potential entrepreneurs engaging in different countries and policy-makers.
