Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of the global Entrepreneurship Summit -'Women First, Prosperity for All', highlighted that if women do better, countries do better. According to the Women's Financial Network, women start businesses at two times the rate of men. Traditional cultural perception perceived the roles of women to be confined within the four walls of the house, but in recent times, with economic reforms there is a transitional trend that is observed in terms of women's participation in economic growth and women participation in business entities has been remarkable. The percentage of U.S. adults preferring a male boss is now 23%, 10 percentage points lower than the last reading in 2014 and 43 points lower than the initial 1953 reading.India being an emerging market economy has a huge potential to grow, as it has developed its vibrant entrepreneurial landscape, aided by government measures and private initiatives. India being termed as the second largest startup ecosystem in the world is expected to grow at around 10-12%. It is observed that 48% of the country's population comprises of women, and it is impossible to think about economic growth without women as a fundamental driver. This paper therefore, emphasizes the role and challenges of women entrepreneurs in urban India. Recognition, reputation, resource regeneration are some of the advantages of women entrepreneurship besides monetary gains and financial inclusion. However any drastic changes in a cultural diverse environ like India is never easy. Perception of weakness, exploitation by middlemen etc. put barriers on the mobility and risk-taking ability of entrepreneurs in general and women in particular. Our study looks at new dimensions of entrepreneurship theoretically and empirically, the impact of changes in business environment on female entrepreneurship prospects and challenges. The paper also explores alternative policies and strategies to raise women entrepreneurs from the so-called secondary status.

Book excerpt: An entrepreneur is historically assumed to be male despite changing demographics with women comprising more than 50% of world population. Impact of sheer numbers, status and position in society should translate in socio-economic manifestation of the world we live. Women entrepreneurs drive global business environment with economic stability and strength.

India ranks at dismal 70th position amongst 77 nations on participation of women in entrepreneurial roles. Can this change? Yes/ No; India needs to witness increase in participation and initiatives to strengthen women entrepreneurs by transcending barriers, creating new ventures, services and products; organizational adaptability within the myths and realities of culture and norms; shift in culture and norms redefining stereotyping. Present exploratory study aims to assess Indian perspective of women in entrepreneurship within the domain of culture and norms and propose a model for organizations to assess their strength on women entrepreneurship. Themes identified are; 2.2 Organization, 2.0 Organization, 1.9 Organization and 1.0 Organization.

Book Synopsis Entrepreneurship and Rural Women in India by : Jitendra Ahirrao
Download or read book Entrepreneurship and Rural Women in India written by Jitendra Ahirrao and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India, entrepreneurship has assumed prime importance - both in research and in action - for accelerating economic growth. An entrepreneur is a critical factor who strives to reorient the national strategies and bring out the desired changes in the development pattern. Contrary to the earlier belief that entrepreneurs are a special breed and are born with special traits, entrepreneurship can be cultivated through proper training and financial support. An entrepreneur is a catalyst who can mobilize different resources and put them to effective use. In any nation, women constitute the backbone a country's prosperity. However, the role played by rural women in India's economic development has not been assigned sufficient importance. Women face gender-specific barriers in access to education, health, and employment. As well, women have little control over assets. Women are often under-paid or unpaid for their work. Their contribution to society and the economy are often ignored. This book examines at the role of women entrepreneurship in India's rural areas. The book shows that encouraging women to set up small enterprises - particularly in rural areas - is an effective method to promote their welfare, development, and empowerment.
Book Synopsis Women Entrepreneurs in Modern Era - Opportunities, Trends and Challenges by : Kavitha B.
Download or read book Women Entrepreneurs in Modern Era - Opportunities, Trends and Challenges written by Kavitha B. and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern business is witnessing robust activity and innovations in two areas - entrepreneurship and human resource management (HRM) and the two are not necessarily separate. Entrepreneurship is being redefined. With qualitative changes in development indices in general and women development in particular, newer and more challenging areas and roles for women are being explored and extended. Women entrepreneurs are being identified for their independent contributions. Development of women entrepreneurship is considered a lucrative leverage to acquire a level playing field for women, in a male predominant society and economy. In a country like India where some of the women are much neglected, there are some who have soared higher. Thanks to these powerful ladies, that they have faced struggles challenges and made their way to the top list of entrepreneurs in India. This has not only helped the society economically but also has done a lot in terms of exposing the potential that a woman holds. Women as business leaders, team leaders, innovators etc are having a multiplier effect on the process of women empowerment too. Women constitute around half of the total world population. So is in India also. In modem societies, they have come out of the four walls to participate in all sorts of activities. The global evidences buttress that women have been performing exceedingly well in different spheres of activities like academics, politics, administration, social work and so on. The focus on economic development has made women the 'subjects' rather than 'objects' of development and 'change agents' rather than 'welfare recipients'. In the past rural women concentrated on traditional activities, but now due to the spread of education and favourable government policies towards self employment and skill development, women have changed their attitude and diverted towards non-traditional activities too. (e.g. engineering, IT etc). However, the dual role of women still remains a dilemma and a challenge. Here too many have succeeded in 'management' of resources including time. Entrepreneurship provides them a satisfaction and assimilates a deep sense of accomplishment to create their own individuality in the society. This paper analyses the role and contributions of women entrepreneurs in different sectors. The objectives of this paper are (i) to evaluate the present status of women entrepreneurship and its determinants; and (ii) to identify the various problems and alternative avenues/strategies in promoting integrated women entrepreneurship in India. The study is a qualitative one and is based on secondary data.
Download or read book Boom Country? written by Alan Rosling and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Boom Country, Alan Rosling, entrepreneur and strategic advisor in India for over 35 years, explores an unmistakeable and profound change that is underway in the Indian business landscape. A fresh wave of enterprise and start-ups; rapid advancements in technology; government reform; and recently developed pools of risk capital, he holds, are contributing increasingly to a massive expansion in new business - all of it underpinned by a deep social change, a willingness to 'do things differently', especially among the young. Drawing upon his own experiences and more than 100 interviews with Indian entrepreneurs - representing traditional leading business houses (Tata, Mahindra, Birla and Godrej), established first-generation entrepreneurs (Sunil Mittal, Kishore Biyani and Narayana Murthy, among others) and new-generation start-ups (including Sachin Bansal, Bhavish Aggarwal and Vijay Shekhar Sharma) - as well as forces of the government, Rosling provides an incisive and in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges, both traditional and contemporary, of doing business in India. Yet, the growing uncertainty of global trends and India's own record of under-performing despite its massive potential, lead him to one vital question : Can the current upsurge in entrepreneurial activity - imperfect and early as it may be - really reshape India's economy and propel it towards becoming a true boom country for new enterprise?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Women's Entrepreneurship Research responds to recent calls from academic researchers and policy analysts alike to pay greater attention to the diversity and heterogeneity among women entrepreneurs. Drawing together studies by 26 researchers affiliated with the DIANA International Research Network, this collection contributes to a richer and more robust understanding of the field. Part I: 'Diverse Settings' introduces research set in a range of contexts, from those rarely examined to those representing more familiar terrains. Part II: 'Diverse Questions' explores new questions and reframes old questions in fresh, innovative ways. Part III: 'Diverse Approaches' features studies with distinct methodological approaches that reflect and extend the rigour and creativity of research in this field. Together, the research assembled in this volume significantly advances knowledge about women's entrepreneurship around the world. While the book's primary audience is academic researchers and graduate students working in the areas of women's entrepreneurship, as well as entrepreneurship and family business more generally, it will also be of interest to scholars working in related research areas in the sociology of gender, work and organizations. Policy-makers in government and non-government agencies as well as profit and not-for-profit organizations that provide services to, or conduct research on, women entrepreneurs will also benefit greatly from the insights provided in this unique volume.
Download or read book Daughters of Legacy written by Rinku Paul and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the challenges and perks of handling age-old legacies? If you come into a position of power through a position of privilege, how do you make sure that you earn respect, more so if you are a woman? These and many more questions are what Daughters of Legacy seeks to answer through the stories of twelve successful women who grew up with strong business lineages. While Ashni Biyani, chief ideator, Future Group, looks at herself as a co-creator of the business rather than a just a legacy bearer, Manasi Kirloskar, executive director and CEO, Kirloskar Systems Ltd, admits that she is hugely privileged in inheriting a large business, but also goes on to point out that she could lose everything overnight if she isn't competent. And Meher Pudumjee's acceptance as non-executive chairperson of Thermax Global that legacies can sometimes feel like a burden is followed close on the heels by the realization that there is nothing more that one can do except give one's best. Chosen from a wide cross section in terms of scale of business, roles and hierarchy these women have not only kept the legacies alive but have also gone on to carve a niche for themselves as individuals beyond their famous last names. Clearly for all of them legacy is far more than mere inheritance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship is an academic discipline that, despite decades of growth in research and teaching activity lacks a traditionally distinct or common theoretical domain.

Chapters focus primarily on macro-level identity issues (i.e., how do these entrepreneurial archetypes form, persist, and sometimes change) or micro-level identity issues (i.e., how can educators and resource providers identify, communicate, and incentivize identity construction among aspiring entrepreneurs), topics that will be of interest to researchers and students alike.
