Abstract

This presentation by the Busara Centre for Behavioural Economics shows results of a survey of entrepreneurial activity in agri-business in regions of Kenya. It includes variables that can be used to highlight the extent to which the entrepreneur is likely to have control over their business affairs, such as: access to infrastructure, use of technology, previous experience, access to financial resources and business training. A detailed breakdown of findings in terms of male and female entrepreneurship illustrates differences in capacity. Wider access to, and ability to effectively use technology will assist entrepreneurs in planning effectively.
