Social capital can be defined as the totality of resources by virtue of possessing social ties. Grounded along the previous research, this research examines the relation between the social capital of woman entrepreneurs and their small companies' market performance mediated by competitive advantages. A survey of 257 entrepreneurs who is woman in Korea found that structural social capital and cognitive, social capital positively influence both differentiation advantage and cost advantage. The empirical results also indicate that those advantages affect market performance significantly. However, the impacts of relational social capital are not significant.The main theoretical contribution of this study is that it confirms the importance of social capital for woman entrepreneurs. It also supports the relevance of social capital in producing competitive advantages which lead to a better market performance. This study provides woman entrepreneurs in SMBs with managerial implications. The result shows that woman entrepreneurs can create business advantage by creating social ties and promoting social capital.

“…In addition to women entrepreneurs' professional characteristics and achievements, research has been conducted on issues related to health, motherhood, family position and life style satisfaction (see Schindehutte et al, 2003;Williams, 2004, among others). Increased attention has also been paid to entrepreneurial teams and networks (see Aldrich et al, 2002;Greve and Salaff, 2003, among others), and to the study of femaleowned businesses, covering subjects such as growth and performance, management style, financing, human capital, labour markets and social entrepreneurship, among others (see Bird and Brush, 2002;Burke, 2002;Carter, 2003;Stewart et al, 2003).…”

In this article we provide an introduction to the papers in the special section of this edition of the European Journal of Development Research. We start by framing the challenges posed by female entrepreneurship to the research community, note some of the findings in the literature pertaining to the cross-national understanding of female entrepreneurship, and review the existing literature on the role and experience of female entrepreneurs in developing countries. Despite progress in understanding the motivations, constraints and issues that confront female entrepreneurs, there is still substantial scope for further research. We then discuss four papers that advance this research agenda.Dans ce papier nous introduisons les articles composant la rubrique de ce nume´ro du European Journal of Development Research. Cette rubrique est consacre´e aux mode`les et de´terminants de l'entreprenariat fe´minin dans les diffe´rents pays, et se penche plus particulie`rement sur le cas des pays en voie de de´veloppement. Dans un premier temps, nous pre´sentons les de´fis que repre´sente la question de l'entreprenariat fe´minin pour la communaute´scientifique, nous de´crivons quelques uns des re´sultats de la litte´rature concernant la conception trans-nationale de l'entreprenariat fe´minin, et passons en revue la litte´rature portant sur le roˆle et les expe´riences des femmes entrepreneurs dans les pays en voie de de´veloppement. Bien que l'on comprenne de mieux en mieux les motivations des femmes entrepreneurs, ainsi que les contraintes et proble`mes auxquels elles font face, ces questions me´ritent des recherches plus approfondies. Nous pre´sentons ensuite quatre articles qui font progresser cet agenda de recherche.

“…In this context, this study has identified a number of typical indicators to represent product sustainability as a basis for materials selection, based upon the basic principles and guidelines of sustainable design to construct a decision matrix, shown in Table 1 [2,24,55,56]. For any manufacturer, there are triple bottom lines (TBL) to run a sustainable business from bottom to top, i.e., as basic market demand, alternative materials and energy for production, and pursuing societal value for environmental protection [57][58][59][60][61][62]. The manufacturer is primarily driven by profit, as economic issues play a dominant role in business operations [61,[63][64][65].…”

This paper presents an integrated multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) approach to aid selection of commercially available materials in the context of sustainable design. The MADM couples grey relational analysis (GRA) with an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to rank alternative materials in terms of their economic, environmental, and social performance. AHP is used to determine the corresponding weighting values for the selected indicators. In addition, a case example is used to verify the proposed MADM method and demonstrate its practical application. Three alternative polymer materials, i.e., poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE), are examined to determine their sustainability for plastic pipe design. The associated MADM result and the limitations of the approach are discussed to lay the foundation for further improvement.
