    The Incas have no end: Women artisans in Peru and the continuity of their entrepreneurial activity
    (Emerald Publishing, 2024-11-11)
    Through focusing on the Peruvian context, this paper aims to identify the main determinants of the continuity of entrepreneurial activity among women artisans. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical sample comprises semi-structured interviews with 28 women artisans in Peru during their participation in a fair organized by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture in Lima (Peru). Thematic analysis was subsequently used to determine the main ideas in the transcripts from the interviews conducted. Findings: The findings empirically identified the following job-related (number of work hours, perceived income, future of artisanal jobs), functional (availability and relevance of workstations, the necessity to travel) and socio-cultural determinants (government support, perceived recognition, level of affiliation with Peruvian traditions) as the main drivers of the continuity of entrepreneurial activities among women artisans. Originality/value: This paper contributes by filling a gap in the literature on women entrepreneurship and artisan entrepreneurship in which empirical studies of Latin American women artisans continuing with their entrepreneurial activities have been limited so far.

    Context really matters: Why do women artisans in the Peruvian context avoid the sole ownership of their enterprises?
    (Emerald Publishing, 2024-10-29)
    The aim of this paper is to find out why women artisans in Peru avoid the sole ownership of their enterprises while preferring to work in associations. Design/methodology/approach: The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 28 women artisans in Peru during their participation in a fair organized by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture in Lima (Peru). Thematic analysis was subsequently used to develop the main themes and sub-themes of the study. Findings: The authors of the present study have found that women artisans in Peru choose to work in associations instead of via the sole ownership of their enterprises because of the following three categories of motives: contextual (low operational cost of family-owned associations, more compliance with the surrounding institutional context), cultural (commitment to parenting, experiencing less marginalization, zero responsibility, and greater work flexibility) and marketing-related motives (eliciting more social support, guaranteeing more invitations to participate in artisanal fairs). Originality/value: This paper contributes by filling a gap in the literature on artisan entrepreneurship in which studies on women artisans in Latin American contexts and why they choose to work in associations have been limited so far.

    Scenario analysis for the sustainability of entrepreneurship ecosystems from the dynamic performance management approach: the case of SMEs in Peru
    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2026-06-15)
    This study aims to analyze scenarios that could reconfigure the entrepreneurship ecosystem (EE) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Peru through the application of the dynamic performance management (DPM) approach. This is intended to understand the structural dynamics that shape the behavior of the ecosystem and its evolution in response to changes in key variables. Design/methodology/approach A DPM Chart was constructed, and system dynamics modelling was applied to represent the causal relationships, reinforcing and balancing feedback loops that characterize the Peruvian EE of SMEs. A simulation sensitivity analysis was developed to assess the systemic effects of variations in policy parameters, such as access to credit, tax burden and gross domestic product growth. Findings Simulations suggest that integrated public interventions may activate reinforcing loops associated with increases in formal entrepreneurial intention and the modelled creation of SMEs. The model showed a progressive and sustained increase in the number of active SMEs depending on the volume of credit granted, consistent with the model's representation of financing as a strategic resource, particularly in contexts where it is often limited. A similar pattern was observed in simulations related to the tax burden. Within the simulated scenarios, higher tax rates were associated with a decrease in the modelled growth of new SMEs and a drop in entrepreneurial intention. The model reveals non-linear interactions and delayed effects among policy variables. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on EE in SMEs by operationalizing a systemic and dynamic approach adapted to the context of emerging economies. It presents a novel application of DPM to entrepreneurship policy analysis, offering policymakers a simulation tool to anticipate outcomes and design adaptive interventions.
