Abstract

This paper focuses on exploring various barriers towards practicing women entrepreneurship and the interrelationships amongst them through Interpretive Structural Modeling Methodology (ISM). Results suggest that Lack of motivation (LM), Lack of education & training (LET), Lack of infrastructure (LI), Negative attitude of society (NAS), Lack of knowledge and awareness (LKA), Market issues (MI)falls under high dependence and low to medium driving power are dependent criteria whereas Family problems (FP), Absence of societal concerns (ASC), Financial concerns (FC), Geographical factors (GF), Political factors (PF), Peer group factor (PGF) have low dependence but high driving power and hence they are drivers .
