| description | The purpose of this study was to find out the factors that are responsible for entrepreneurs to quit
entrepreneurship and join the job industry. This qualitative study was designed to fulfill the
objectives via interviewing ex-entrepreneurs and getting first-hand information from business
owners themselves who had faced the problem in their business tenure. Interviewing the
respondents brought out a number of factors that had ultimately forced them to wind up their
businesses. These factors were then carved out broadly categorized as internal or external factors
which led to either managerial or financial reasons. Conducting this research was a tedious task
as people are not willing to share their previous or unpleasant memories furthermore. They were
hesitant to share a part of their personal life experience. Due to limited resources and time the
research was conducted in the city of Lahore which and therefore limited in its scope.
Nevertheless, this study has produced credible information which can be useful for future
entrepreneurs. |
