    group of women who initiate, organize and run a

    Concept of women entrepreneurs
    • Women entrepreneurs may be defined as a
    women or group of women, who initiates,
    organizes and runs a business enterprise.
    • According to Schumpeterian concept of
    innovative entrepreneurs, woman who
    innovate initiate or adopt a business activity
    are called women entrepreneurs
    Problems of women entrepreneurs
    • The Indian women entrepreneurs are facing
    some major constraints like:
    – Lack of confidence: In general, women lack
    confidence in their strength and competence. The
    family members and the society are reluctant to
    stand beside their entrepreneurial growth. To a
    certain extent, this situation is changing among
    Indian women and yet to face a tremendous
    change to increase the rate of growth in
    entrepreneurship
    –  Socio-cultural barriers: Women’s family and personal obligations
    are sometimes a great barrier for succeeding in business career.
    Only few women are able to manage both home and business
    efficiently, devoting enough time to perform all their responsibilities
    in priority.
    – Market-oriented risks : Stiff competition in the market and lack of
    mobility of women make the dependence of women entrepreneurs
    on middleman indispensable. Many business women find it difficult
    to capture the market and make their products popular. They are
    not fully aware of the changing market conditions and hence can
    effectively utilize the services of media and internet.
    – Motivational factors : Self motivation can be realized through a
    mind set for a successful business, attitude to take up risk and
    behavior towards the business society by shouldering the social
    responsibilities. Other factors are family support, Government
    policies, financial assistance from public and private institutions and
    also the environment suitable for women to establish business
    units.
    – Knowledge in Business Administration: Women must be educated and
    trained constantly to acquire the skills and knowledge in all the
    functional areas of business management. This can facilitate women to
    excel in decision making process and develop a good business network.
    – Awareness about the financial assistance : Various institutions in the
    financial sector extend their maximum support in the form of
    incentives, loans, schemes etc. Even then every woman entrepreneur
    may not be aware of all the assistance provided by the institutions. 
    – Exposed to the training programs : Training programs and workshops
    for every type of entrepreneur is available through the social and
    welfare associations, based on duration, skill and the purpose of the
    training program. Such programs are really useful to new, rural and
    young entrepreneurs who want to set up a small and medium scale
    unit on their own
