Abstract
This study, entitled "Factors of Entrepreneurial Failure in the Arts and Crafts Sector: The Case of the Grand-Bassam Craft Village," aims to identify the factors of entrepreneurial failure in the arts and crafts sector in general, and in the Grand-Bassam craft village in particular.This qualitative research involved 20 subjects.The results show that entrepreneurial failures in arts and crafts, particularly in Grand-Bassam, are often caused by a lack of financial resources, difficult access to credit, weak product promotion, and a shortage of young apprentices and skilled master craftspeople to pass on their expertise.Other factors include marketing difficulties, competition, and a lack of technical and management support.
