This case study was a quantitative research. This type of case study was applied to fix the mind closely upon the purpose of the study. The sample was taken from women entrepreneurs in Kumasi. The total population was about 7000 with 4000 as sample size. A closed questionnaire was disseminated using systematic stratified random sampling to get the sample size from all areas of Kumasi.
