Indigenous Women Entrepreneurs in Australia - Shooting for the Stars
Stories of Culture, Resilience and Success
About this book
This book explores the role of Indigenous identity in entrepreneurial behaviour and success by analysing 14 case studies on Australian Indigenous women entrepreneurs.
The book draws on interviews conducted with successful Indigenous women entrepreneurs who have been operating their businesses in Sydney, Australia. Each case study is accompanied by relevant literature and industry information to contextualize business challenges and opportunities faced by the individual entrepreneur. The interviews illustrate the intersectional challenge of achieving economic self-determination for First Nations peoples, thereby contributing to a greater understanding of Indigenous entrepreneurship in Australia.
This intersectional study of entrepreneurship will interest students and researchers in the fields of Indigenous studies, entrepreneurship, and anthropology. It will also be a valuable guide for policy makers seeking to promote entrepreneurship amongst Indigenous communities.
