Experiences by Group 4 – Shakira, Deborah, Anna and Hanna


It’s Wednesday March 20 and it’s now our turn to introduce ourselves and our area of research.  Our group consists of Shakira and Deborah from MUBS and Anna and Hanna from CBS. Shakira and Deborah are both doing a Master in Business Administration, while Anna and Hanna are studying Business and Development Studies back home. We are a group of four women, doing our research project about women. The topic we decided to focus on is successful female entrepreneurs in Uganda since we wanted to understand what barriers entrepreneurial women in Uganda are facing and how they have overcome them.

Finding ourselves having worked together on the project for a week and a half now, progress can definitely be seen (apart from the fact that all the MUBS students are still having some problems differentiating Anna and Hanna from one another). We have managed to interview some of the most interesting and determined women in Uganda, and more interviews are scheduled. With the project deadline in less than one week, it seems like all groups are doing well but feeling the pressure.

Coming from different countries and cultural backgrounds definitely contributes positively to the research. Without Deborah and Shakira’s help, especially with regards to contacting companies/organizations and finding the way to meetings, it is safe to say that Hanna and Anna would have pulled their hair out long ago!

This experience and the new-established friendships will not be forgotten.
