Abstract

Entrepreneurship is very old, but women entrepreneurship is a recent phenomenon, particularly in India. This study has been conducted to explore the issues on organizational dynamics for women entrepreneurship from different dimensions of women entrepreneurial life. It has been an intensive micro-level field study of women entrepreneurs from the perspectives of thriving, evolving and prospering small urban India in this millennium beyond the peripherals of metropolis. The result shows that educational level and training status have been the most influencing factors for organizational management of their firms. The decisional level-in-family of women entrepreneurs has come out as an influencing factor for success in business networking. Firm-size and scale of business have shown positive correlations with institutional interactional level. But, years in business and business phases have been negatively correlated with levels of financial management by women entrepreneurs. The study shows interactive dimensionalities of women entrepreneurship.
