This study draws on nine cases of microenterprise growth in Tanzania to investigate what microenterprise founders learn from organizational process experience. The findings lead to a set of propositions about founders' learning in opportunity-rich, growth-constrained environments, and are integrated into a discussion of microenterprise growth challenges.
