The Entrepreneurial inclination among local community; Implications of gender difference in hunting opportunities

Abstract

Entrepreneurship has globally recognized as engine to accelerate economic growth, generation of new business activity, poverty alleviation, human capital development, and most robust instrument to improve the quality of life. Present study was aimed to discuss entrepreneurial inclination among local community. Study was proposed to empirically give a better understanding about the role of gender difference in hunting entrepreneurial opportunities. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to collect data from 372 respondents in urban Faisalabad, Pakistan. Results confirmed that men and women were different in hunting entrepreneurial opportunities. Men were comparatively having higher entrepreneurial inclination in hunting opportunities. Most of the entrepreneur(s) were using social networking in development of the entrepreneurial ideas. Finally, it is argued that there is need to enhance social mobilization and social integration to explore the hidden potential for enhancing the pool of potential and sustainable entrepreneurs.
