Abstract
This study is motivated by the need to understand the
determinants of performance in women-owned enterprises.
We examine the relationship between strategic capabilities
and firm performance with demographic characteristics as
moderators in women-owned enterprises in Nairobi,
Kenya. Results show that strategic capabilities have a
significant effect on the overall performance. Further, IT
capabilities and technological capabilities have a positive
and significant relationship with performance. Only age
has a negative and significant moderating effect. We
recommend enhancement of technological capabilities among
women entrepreneurs so that they can better direct their
capabilities toward firm performance.
Cette étude est motivée par le désir de mieux comprendre les
déterminants de la performance dans les entreprises
appartenant à des femmes. À partir d’entreprises
appartenant à des femmes basées à Nairobi au Kenya,
l’étude examine la relation entre les capacités stratégiques
et la performance en utilisant les caractéristiques
démographiques comme modératrices. Les résultats
montrent que les capacités stratégiques ont un impact
important sur la performance globale. Par ailleurs, les
capacités en IT et les capacités technologiques entretiennent
une relation positive et significative avec la performance.
Seul l’âge a un effet modérateur négatif et significatif sur
la performance. Nous proposons aux femmes entrepreneures
d’améliorer leurs capacités technologiques afin de mieux
orienter leurs aptitudes vers la performance de leurs
entreprises
