Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to organize the existing empirical research on women entrepreneurs (WEs) in India, highlight the research areas that have not received attention and present opportunities for future research.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) was performed on 74 scholarly articles focusing on WEs in India and published between 1993 and 2020. This review is structured around the 4W framework used in previous SLRs. The review is directed by the following foci: what do we know about academic research on WEs in India? How were these studies conducted? Where were these studies conducted? Why should academicians and practitioners consider WE research?FindingsThe authors arrived at four main themes underlying the empirical research on WEs: success factors for WEs, challenges faced by WEs, factors that attract and motivate WEs and performance measures for WEs. While challenges and success factors have received attention from researchers, there is a distinct lack of papers on factors that attract or motivate WE and performance measures. The main gaps identified were a lack of theoretical basis in studies, reliance on interview and survey-based methodology and a lack of context-specific studies.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this review are limited to WEs operating in India. Only Scopus-indexed journals listed in the Australian Business Dean's Council Journal Quality List (ABDC JQL) were included in the final SLR list.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies to use a systematic approach to provide a detailed account of the state of the literature on women's entrepreneurship research in India.

印度女企业家：系统文献综述

目的本文旨在组织现有的关于印度女企业家的实证研究，突出尚未受到关注的研究领域，并为未来的研究提供机会。设计/方法/方法对1993年至2020年间发表的74篇关于印度WE的学术文章进行了系统的文献综述（SLR）。这篇综述是围绕以前SLR中使用的4W框架构建的。本综述的重点如下：我们对印度we的学术研究了解多少？这些研究是如何进行的？这些研究是在哪里进行的？为什么学者和从业者应该考虑WE研究？发现作者得出了WE实证研究的四个主要主题：WE的成功因素、WE面临的挑战、吸引和激励WE的因素以及WE的绩效指标。虽然挑战和成功因素受到了研究人员的关注，但明显缺乏关于吸引或激励WE的因素和绩效指标的论文。发现的主要差距是研究缺乏理论基础，依赖访谈和调查方法，以及缺乏针对具体情况的研究。研究局限性/影响本次审查的结果仅限于在印度运营的WE。只有澳大利亚商业院长理事会期刊质量列表（ABDC JQL）中列出的Scopus索引期刊才被纳入最终的SLR列表。原创性/价值这是第一批使用系统方法详细介绍印度妇女创业研究文献状况的研究之一。
