The cultural determinants of women’s entrepreneurship in Islam – an outline

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the article is to present determinants of women’s entrepreneurship in the Islamic cultural area. The first part of the article offers a definition of the concept of culture and presents a brief outline of Islamic culture based on the book of the Koran, which exerts great impact on all spheres of human life in Muslim countries. Next, the author’s attention is concentrated on the role of women in Muslim culture. The position of women in the family and in society was characterized along with the resulting limitations. On this basis. women’s entrepreneurship in Islamic culture and its determinants were discussed. In spite of numerous studies and publications concentrating on women’s entrepreneurship in general terms, it is difficult to find literature references covering the issues of entrepreneurship in an area which is culturally unfavourable for any changes in the situation of women.
