Abstract
The chapter investigated the COVID-19-induced challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe, the strategies used by women entrepreneurs to survive the COVID-19 crisis, and the government support needed by women entrepreneurs to recover from the pandemic. A quantitative research approach using a structured questionnaire was adopted for gathering data. Empirical findings illustrate that women entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe faces a multiplicity of challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, findings indicate that women entrepreneurs are cutting down costs, have introduced new delivery channels, and have reviewed their business models to become more resilient. However, women entrepreneurs also expect the government to offer readily accessible finances, arrange for skills and capacity-building training in response to the new normal, and craft economic recovery policies and packages that are tailored to specifically respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. The study has both theoretical and practical implications.

Bank Customer Green Banking Technology Adoption: A Sequential Exploratory Mixed Methods Study
Government support refers to the role of the government in promoting and encouraging the implementation and usage of technology (Tornatzky & Fleischer, 1990 AU123: The in-text citation "Tornatzky & Fleischer, 1990" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ). The central meaning of this concept is that the government is an important external factor that is able to create a favourable environment and provide incentives for technology implementation. Thus, when adopting financing technology services like GB services, consumers expect to receive support from the government concerning policies, incentives, and subsidies to accelerate the rate of acceptance. Accordingly, government support in the context of this study can be operationalised as the role of the government-related policies that cover a different set of rules and promotion incentives to adopt GB technology services.
