Of these three dimensions, in the ethnographic record, one defining the value of the cost of production is the power of collectors as agents and the motive of the weavers to continue working not because they want to preserve heritage culture but because of economic motives
What are the Sociocultural Factors That Influence the Managerial Performance of Rural Women Entrepreneurs?
Full text linkWomen are considered to be an important human resource in South Africa, and every country should try to utilize them as mediators of economic growth and development. Sociocultural factors challenge them to achieve managerial performance. However, the literature focuses on sociocultural research for women in urban provinces of South Africa, neglecting rural women in KZN.

Sociocultural factors, including family responsibilities and varying levels of social support, play a significant role, while gender stereotypes continue to undermine their managerial abilities. Limited access to Technology hinders business growth, stressing the need for digital skills training to enhance efficiency, competitiveness, and market reach. Tailored support programs addressing these sociocultural and technological challenges are essential to enhancing rural women entrepreneurs' success and driving economic development in rural communities
