Why Small or Big? Problematizing Emancipation Discourse in Non‐Western Women's Entrepreneurship
Research is beginning to query the dominance of Western‐influenced perspectives on emancipation. It identifies a significant contextual oversight in the discourse surrounding the emancipation of women in entrepreneurship in non‐Western settings. To this end, we employ an integrative literature review to unpack the research practices through which emancipation in women's entrepreneurship is constructed and understood along a macro–micro lens. Our …

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) struggle to obtain credit when credit ratings and collateral are used as criteria to assess their credit applications. In the context of Africa, the financial markets have gaping institutional voids, and contextual insights into SMEs’ experiences remain underdeveloped. Drawing on the stakeholder-agency theory of debt financing, this paper advances the scholarly conversation by theorising about how collate…

Trust-Building Mechanisms in Group-Based Microfinance: A Cameroonian Perspective
While trust is critical to microlending groups, much less is known about the vital factors and mechanisms that foster its emergence in microlending groups. This paper examines the practices of trust building and use in microlending groups. The results suggest that trust is produced and developed in microlending groups through a combination of calculative, prediction, intentionality, capability and transference mechanisms. These mechanisms are not…
