One major contribution to entrepreneurship in the past decade is the introduction of social media, which has changed the way in which businesses are operated. This study aimed at establishing how female-owned Small Micro and Medium Enterprises (SMMEs) in the fashion retail sector in Cape Town use social media for both business and social networking purposes.
