Entrepreneurship in Pakistan
Many
international surveys rank Pakistan was one of the most
corrupt countries in the world. Entrepreneurs are cautioned.
Although it has strong potential to be an entrepreneurial
nation, there are certain problems that prevent it from
being so. The first is the entrepreneurs’ effort
to become wealthy overnight, without having to move up
the ladder gradually. This overconfidence and lack of
understanding for proper business techniques causes the
demise of many entrepreneurial ventures.
The second issue that is preventing entrepreneurial growth
in Pakistan is that the women are not given the opportunity
to start a venture and nurture it into a successful business.
Women are looked as the “food-makers” rather
than the “food-earners.” However, research
does show that those women who have been given the chance
and the proper resources have worked to become strong
entrepreneurs. As an increasing number of women are fighting
for their right to enter into the business world, entrepreneurship
amongst women is giving rise to some excellent business
ventures.
