This study aimed to explore some features regarding corporate women and their involvement in entrepreneurship. The questions explored were (1) What are the factors that spur women leaving the corporate world into business ownership; (2) What are their personal and entrepreneurial characteristics and (3) What are the challenges and problems they are facing? The study used a convenience sample comprising 51 women entrepreneurs. A self administered questionnaire was distributed by email and via fax. As for the findings, the main factors identified to have spurred women leaving the corporate world into business ownership were needed to achieve personal growth, independence and economic payoff. Passion for the business, listening and communication skills and self discipline are among the most possessed personal skills. The prime entrepreneurial skills that were indicated strongly include showing confidence, leadership skills, creative thinking in problem solving, being efficient and effective in executing plans, entrepreneurial/business knowledge, being analytical, balancing skills between personal and business life, and flexibility i.e. ability to change. The challenges /problems faced by the respondents are shortage of professional staffs, shortage of staffs, issues of development and growth, financial constraint due to heavy overheads and less consultation help from experts. There were no significant differences were found in most of entrepreneurial characteristics among the major ethnic groups. The study recommends further research that may capture more and richer aspects of women's entrepreneurship.
An entirely new and trendy peer-to-peer modern communications graph is called a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). The MANETs form their network without any infrastructure facilities, whenever needed. Military activities frequently need the quick and secure transfer of large quantities of data. The radio spectrum has been used by the military up until now for good communication but might have a chance to impact security problems. The security of data transfer is a major issue given the natural component of wireless networks in real-time situations. The main challenge is confirming trust across MANET nodes, as well as dealing with bandwidth, energy, and changing topology. By degrading the trust level between nodes, the malicious attitude increases poor data transmission, increases energy use, and reduces the duration of the network. To address this issue, we proposed a new protocol, Trust-based Secure and Reliable Routing Protocol (TSRRP), to increase the trust between nodes in MANETs and predict anomalous activity. This is done with the help of certain Quality of Service (QoS) metrics, such as the result analysis phase. NS2 is used to simulate the result. The simulation outcomes demonstrate how the suggested protocol performs better than the existing protocols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
