Abstract: | This paper tests whether, in the urban informal sector of Swaziland, entrepreneurial success (proxied by operating profits) is determined by the production environment, productive efficiency, and the entrepreneur's personal attributes. The expected relationship was largely upheld for the sample data from 1983-1984, with the exception of one of five variables representing personal attributes (i.e. previous job), and two of three variables representing the production environment (i.e. financial constraints and cooperation).
