16.0 Closing comments: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
In recent years, Tanzania has embarked upon the economic recovery process and is continuing to build upon and address the needs of MSMEs. Key informants from the MIT-SME Section acknowledged the current and future potential of women entrepreneurs and, although seriously under-resourced for the tasks ahead, the SME Section is enthusiastic and committed to working with the international donor community to support this target group. Coordination of all support efforts is crucial. A mechanism for achieving this is recommended – either an officer fully dedicated to the development of women’s enterprise or the establishment of a more formal Office for Women’s Enterprise Development (OWED).
10.1 The education system: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
Over 690 vocational training centres are registered with the Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA),38 over 90 per cent of which are either private businesses or NGOs. VETA centres do offer skills training courses suitable for self-employment (tailoring, batik making, housekeeping, etc), but UDEC (2003) states that the primary emphasis on training is for employability in large public and private enterprises. Because there are few jobs available, most of the VETA graduates go unemployed or are inadequately trained for entrepreneurship. Data on the proportion of women students is not available.
8.0 Promotion of women’s entrepreneurship: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
According to key informants from the University of Dar es Salaam, entrepreneurship is only now becoming considered a legitimate and valued activity in Tanzania. There is a huge need to increase this and to create more awareness of the important role that owners of micro and small enterprises play in the economy. A much higher value has to be attached to opportunities in the SME sector and to the role of entrepreneurs so as to make it an acceptable and preferred option for college and university graduates, the next generation of entrepreneurs.

3.0 Characteristics of men’s and women’s enterprises: Gender Entrepreneurship and Competitiveness in Africa, 2007

6.1 Propositions for the international development community: Enterprise solutions to poverty
The first set relate primarily to the role of donors (including corporate foundations and philanthropy programmes) who, because they control the money, are critically important influences on what issues IDC actors focus on and how they work.
6.0 Propositions and conclusion: Enterprise solutions to poverty
We have argued throughout that the expansion of enterprise, particularly SMEs, is critical to economic and poverty reduction. This is hardly a new or revolutionary argument. It has been advanced by many others starting probably with Adam Smith. Indeed, a great deal of government policies and IDC interventions over the years have focused on creating the enabling environment for the expansion of the private sector in poor countries.

Understanding Customer Relations Management
CRM initiatives have resulted in increased competitiveness for many companies as witnessed by higher revenues and lower operational costs. Managing customer relationships effectively and efficiently boosts customer satisfaction and retention rates (Reichheld, 1996a, b; Jackson, 1994; Levine, 1993). CRM applications help organizations assess customer loyalty and profitability on measures such as repeat purchases, dollars spent, and longevity. CRM applications help answer questions such as “What products or services are important to our customers? How should we communicate with our customers? What are my customer's favorite colors or what is my customer's size?” In particular, customers benefit from the belief that they are saving time and money as well as receiving better information and special treatment (Kassanoff, 2000).

Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Control Their Own Destiny
Even within the free enterprise system there are some things more highly prized than money, especially for lifestyle entrepreneurs who don’t measure the true worth of their small business strictly by the bottom line. For them, the fact that they are pursuing their dream and making a living doing what they love is what matters most.

Government Support for Entrepreneurship in Nigeria : Exploring entrepreneurship in a declining economy
Recognizing the indispensability of the small-scale, private sector enterprise as the dynamic impetus for general economic development, many countries have instituted enterprise support networks and structures to fuel the development of these enterprises. Nigeria is not an exception in this regard. At various times since the 1970s, the government has designed and introduced a variety of measures to promote small and medium enterprise development. These measures included fiscal, monetary and export incentives.

The Nature of Growth Oriented Enterprises: Constraints of growth-oriented enterprises in the southern and eastern African region
Categorizing an enterprise as "growth oriented" implies that there is an intention within the top management of the enterprise to grow. An initial assumption, when the current research was undertaken in 1999, was that being a growth-oriented enterprise per se does not imply anything about the size of the company. A self-employed person may have started an enterprise with the intent to grow, whereas an existing enterprise of twenty people may think they have grown enough.
Enterprise Readiness Keeps Success within Your Sights
Whether you are starting a new technology company or launching a new product, you typically have less than two years before you have to be profitable. For most, that means they have to be able to sell their products to large enterprise customers. Once the clock is ticking, many crack under the pressure. But those who embrace enterprise readiness are beating the clock and their competition.
Entrepreneurs Don't Claim Entitlement
The purpose of a private enterprise is NOT to employ people and provide them with benefits. The purpose is to find and keep customers (by delighting them with your products and services) and to increase the value of the enterprise to its shareholders.
