RURAL WOMEN AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP: A CASE STUDY IN HERAKLION CRETE PREFECTURE, GREECE

Lassithiotaki Aikaterini · 2011 · Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship

Low education, lack of professional skills, and risk aversion push them toward cooperatives rather than individual ventures. These cooperatives lack modern business practices including quality control systems, certification processes, technology adoption, marketing, and administrative innovation.
