Journal Title: Religación. Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 17

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the challenges that Bumiputera’s women faced in entrepreneur activities by adapting the concept of social entrepreneurs related to entrepreneurial opportunity highlighted by Reynolds. The framework identified four challenges like life experience, environment, economy, and social network. Questionnaires were distributed for a preliminary study to 30 Bumiputera’s women entrepreneurs. The findings of the study indicated that the challenges that used to be a constraint for the women entrepreneurs are no longer a hindrance to further succeed in the business world. They have built self-confidence and use the facilities and networking to create social value to the society. The concept of social entrepreneurship is reflective in the involvement of women entrepreneurs in Malaysia
