“…Firm-level barriers relate to the resource requirements for starting and running firms, including invisible industry rules and processes (Carrillo and Gromb, 2006). Women face a dearth of resources, including capital (Verheijen et al, 2014;Fisher and Lewin, 2018;Njaramba et al, 2018;Bastian et al, 2018), networks (Kwong et al, 2009;Verheijen et al, 2014;Naidu and Chand, 2017;Shukla and Chauhan, 2018) and skilled workforce (Mathew, 2010).

PurposeTechnology sector is the pivotal element for innovation and economic development of any country. Hence, the present article explores past researches looking into challenges faced by immigrant women entrepreneurs in technology sector and their corresponding response strategies.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) technique to collate all the relevant literature looking into the challenges and strategies from immigrant women entrepreneur's perspective and provide a comprehensive picture. Overall, 49 research articles are included in this SLR.FindingsFindings indicate that immigrant status further escalates the human, financial and network disadvantages faced by women who want to start a technology-based venture.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature by categorizing the barriers and strategies on a 3 × 2 matrix reflecting the origins of the barrier or strategy (taking place at the individual, firm or institutional level) versus the type of the barrier or strategy (arising from being an immigrant woman and being a woman in the technology sector). After underlining the dearth of studies in the literature about the complex phenomenon of immigrant WEs in the technology sector, the paper points out several neglected themes for future research.

“…Differences in economic development can be measured using a wide range of indicators, e.g., by GDP per capita, patterns of income distribution across society, structure of economic sectors, availability of resources, unemployment, gender equality etc. There is a lot of attention to those questions in the scientific literature (e.g., Tvaronavičienė, Gatautis, 2017;Njaramba et al, 2018;Iorio et al, 2018;Tung, 2019 etc. ) To conclude, here is almost unanimous agreement about the width of the regional development scope.…”

Regional Development is linked to Sustainability, and also, Development is linked to Security, both nationally and globally. The expanded view of Security has opened the discussion of new technologies introduced non-traditional threats that become vulnerable to regional security and thereby to regional development. Five broad types of situations or premises that constitute a security in which threats overlap and interact, those new threats warrant new security paradigms that traditional international relations ignored so far. The purpose of this research is to analyze and study the impact of these new threats to security and how they affect regional development. Protection to the digital ecosystem and critical infrastructure from threats could be by implementing the security program of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), however, awareness, preparedness, and resilience of societies with the international community are as key preconditions of further secure and sustainable economic development and general well-being. Case studies of new technologies that threaten global societies economically and socially.

“…The growing significance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) for employment and income generation, and the development of women entrepreneurs have led various businesses and international organizations to support their development and expansion (e.g. Morris et al, 2002;Argenti, 2003;Bala Subrahmanya, 2004;UNCTAD 2014;Iacob, Hristache, 2017;Akhter, 2017;Jimenez-Marin et al 2018;Njaramba et al, 2018;Prodani et al 2019;Benešová, Hušek, 2019).…”

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a significant role in all economies and are key agents of employment, innovation and growth. Strategic communication is something different from normal communication as it involves with certain intelligent way of communicating the clients and counter parts. The implications of future of small industries, globalization, performance, perspectives and challenges would insist on prompt and prudent way of communicating and are to be confronted by women entrepreneurs. To crack the challenges and overcome the negative impacts of communication successfully, strategic communication becomes a vital part of business and entrepreneurs should familiarize such type of business communication for better decision-making in all functional areas of business. If information asymmetry exists, clients may respond by negatively leading to miscommunication or misinterpretation which will have bad effects on organization and business negotiations. The concept and source of communication should be adapted to have more clarity and transparency to make the receiver understand the information and message so as to make him/her respond appropriately. The consequence of inappropriate communication, or weak communication would exhaust the time and energy of the receiver leading to refusal of the clients or business partners. The fact is that most of the entrepreneurs from small and medium industries in India have not developed adequate expertise in strategic communication which may create setbacks in their business performances. This article analyses the profiles of the SME women entrepreneurs and their perception and expectation on strategic communication and their strategic communication components which are analyzed to derive the results.
