1. INTRODUCTION
Entrepreneurship is the core of economic development. It is a multi-dimensional task and
essentially a creative activity. It is a key factor of entrepreneurship (Kamulun &Kumar, 1992).
An effective entrepreneur requires certain basic qualities such as innovative thinking and far

sightedness, quick and effective decision making skill, ability to mobilize and marshal
resources, strong determination and self-confidence, prepare to take risks, accepting changes in
right time, Access and alertness to latest scientific and technological information (Gopinath &
Chitra, 2020). In the process of entrepreneurship, women have to face various problems
associated with entrepreneurship and these problems get doubled because of her dual role as a
wage earner and a home maker. Entrepreneurial Development Culture is to be developed
gradually among the women, in addition to providing educational facilities to use the vibrant
women forces in right direction (Suchitra & Gopinath, 2020a). This programmes combining
technical skill and entrepreneurial skill, to selected groups will make the Indian Women more
self-reliant and confident and would lead them to be envied by people at the International level.
Even though, there are very efficient institutions at the national level like EDI-Ahmadabad,
NSTED Board New Delhi, NISIE Hyderabad and at State Level CED in Madurai and Chennai,
TANSTIA in Chennai, such programmes are to be conducted at regional level at the residential
area of the women in their vernacular language and to the specific requirements of the people
of that area (Suchitra & Gopinath, 2020b).
Economic Independence makes women conscious of their rights. Working outside the home
and coming into contact with other people have broadened their outlook and mental horizon
(Margret Cormack, 1976). Women entrepreneurship Program should not be limited to working
with individuals or group of entrepreneurs. An important function for such a program is to act
as a collective advocate for women in business in the local community or in wider venues
including the province and the nation (Kavitha & Gopinath, 2020a). For example Women and
Rural Economic Development (WRED) has been especially active in advocacy at the Provincial
and national level. It has also addressed the problem of credit for women businesses by getting
a credit union to establish a loan program. Women are more than half of the world population.
Women have performed various roles as mother, care giver, producers, and housekeepers to
support her families (Kavitha & Gopinath, 2020b). Women’s participation in the economic
sphere is getting narrower. Despite all the hardships, their valuable contributions have never
been realized in the GDPs, GNPs and so on. Therefore, women can be considered as the
valuable human resource for the country. The growing involvement of women in
entrepreneurial activities has added a new dimension in the socio economic sphere of India
(Gopinath, 2020a).
The development of Women Entrepreneurship is one of the crucial issues of contemporary
development agenda in many developing countries. Women entrepreneur can be defined as a
female person who has along or with one or two more partners start or inherit a business and
eager to take financial, administrative, social risks and responsibilities and participate in day to
day management activities (UNDP, 2004). Or in other words, women entrepreneurs can be
defined as the woman or group of women who initiate organize and operate any business
venture (Gopinath & Poornapriya, 2020).
Several studies carried out across the world show that involvement of women in
entrepreneurship compared to men (GEM, 2010) is less. Why is this so? Environmental factors
(social, cultural and economic) and their impacts on women’s entrepreneurship are considered
significant in order to deal with question (Rajalakshmi et al., 2020). Tiruchirappali is one of the
enriched districts in Tamilnadu because of high rate flow of remittance and locational
advantages. However, various women’s entrepreneurs are emerging here day by day. Therefore
this study is aimed to find out the socioeconomic factors that have the beneficial role in the
development of women entrepreneurs in this area, in general. This study to find out the socio-
demographic factors that affect women’s socio-economic development. The second to identify
social, cultural, economic and technological factors that hinder women’s socio economic
development.

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Reasonably a number of studies in relation to industrial entrepreneurship have already been
carried out. A review of literature in connection with earlier researches on Women
entrepreneurs are necessary to enumerate the areas already investigated. This process may be
helpful to identify certain unexplored fields for further investigations.
Hirsrich and O’Brien (1981) conducted a study on the women entrepreneurs from their
business and sociological perspective. The study was conducted on female entrepreneurs with
the purpose of exploring their demographic characteristics, their motivational and business
problems. They observed that female entrepreneurs experience varying business particularly
problems with weak collateral position obtaining credit and overcoming society’s belief that
women were not as serious as men about business.
Surti and Sarupriya (1983) carried out a study entitled, “Psychological factors affecting
women entrepreneurs”. They examined the role of experience, the effect of demographic
variables such as marital status, type of family and how women entrepreneurs coped with stress.
Results indicated that unmarried women experience less stress than married women. Women
from Joint Families tended to experience less role stress than those from Nuclear Families.
Anna (1989) in her Ph.D. thesis on “Women entrepreneurship in the Industrial
Manufacturing sector of Kerala” has pointed out that economic independence and better social
status force women into self-employment and entrepreneurship. In her opinion, women are fully
aware of the talents and abilities in business and industry. The study briefly narrated the pattern
and extent of supply of women entrepreneurship and also examined the entrepreneurial support
system.
Harper (1992) in her work on “Typology of Enterprising Women in Poor Communities”
with a view to develop hypothesis about the society and academic determinable that motivate
women to cross the borderlines from generating no income to generating small income through
self-employment and the border line from there to growth oriented micro or small business
found that one major barrier for women to start or expand business is the lack of exposure.
Women become enterprising after intervention from outsiders. Two other findings seem to
contradict generally accepted assumptions. Lack of time is not a main constraint and poverty
along is not a pushing factor. Awareness has to be created and change has to perceive as
something possible.
Sethi (1994) conducted a study entitled “Women entrepreneurship in India”. For this study
four metropolitan cities were selected. The study revealed that majority women relied heavily
on their own fund for initial venture start up. The study also mentioned some specific barriers
rooted in the customs and tradition which woman had to face in obtaining formal credit such as
property registered in the name of male members, lack of education, lack of experience, lack of
information and unfriendly approach by the bank. Socio–economic development is defined in
different ways for various contexts of social, political, biological, science and technology,
language and literature. In the socio economic perspective, development means the
improvement in people’s lifestyles through improved education, incomes, skill development
and employment (Mebratu, 1998).
Pandian and Mariappan (2005) in their article on “Information technology and women
entrepreneurs” highlighted the status of women entrepreneurs in developing countries. They
argued that though women have little access to new technologies, there is scope to improve
their lives and their families by adopting the recent advancements in science and technology.
They also emphasized that information technology offered many new possibilities for women’s
economic, social and political empowerment.

In an underdeveloped country, the masses are under poverty line. They are mostly illiterate
and unskilled, use outdated capital equipment and methods of production (Jhingan 1997). As (
Muhammad and Safiya 2013) opines that where women have no direct access to land and
cannot have collateral because of patriarchal and customary practices that pass property through
the male line, limit women from having direct access to credit. The women are most credit
worthy than men, but legal requirements and lack of collateral still limit women’s access to
bank credit (Gopinath, 2020). Education, family, marital status and religion are the crucial
factors to promote women’s socioeconomic participation. Suleiman (2009) identified education
as the bedrock for empowerment and the only panacea to women empowerment. Without
education, it will be difficult for women to become economically empowered in the world.
Education is the most effective strategy for promoting women empowerment (Muhammad and
Safiya 2013). As Gopinath, (2019) states that the issue of women education is essential for
socio economic development and the women are not educated well to contribute their useful
quota of the society.
3. METHODOLOGY
Research methodology includes tools and techniques that are used in research to collect,
aggregate and analyze data. This chapter presents the methodology that will be followed in the
study to discover whether the role of stakeholders leads to performance of business owned by
women entrepreneurs and also to find out the kind of support taken by those ladies from
stakeholders which helps them in growth of the business.

Tiruchirappali district of Tamilnadu. A questionnaire was designed to gather primary data. The
respondents were asked to rank each item on a 5 point Liker scale (5= strongly agree, 1=
strongly disagree) to identify key factors that were responsible for the women’s
entrepreneurship development. Regression analysis was done to reveal the relationship of
socio-economic factors upon the development of women’s entrepreneurship. The research is
descriptive in nature. Convenient sampling technique was adopted through 120 questionnaires
and floated to the women entrepreneurs in different fields.

Above un-standardized coefficients indicate how much the women entrepreneur’s development
varies with an independent variable (Social factors, Cultural factors, Economic factors and
Technological factors) when all other independent variables are held constant. Here, B is
significant if P<.05. Therefore the above table shows that the results of independent variable
has an impact on dependent variable, B value of Social factor (B= .094; sig= .190) and Cultural
factor (B= -.045; sig= .647) which are not supported according to the hypothesis 1 and 2 that
means these factors have no impact upon the development of women entrepreneur in
Tiruchirappali District. On the other hand, B value of Economic factors (B= .367; sig= .000)
and Technological factor (B=.611; sig= .000) that supported the Hypothesis 3 and 4, that means
Economic and Technological factors are highly correlated with the women entrepreneurs’
development.
5. LIMITATION AND FUTURE RESEARCH
To conduct this study, various limitations had been found and the further research can be carried
out on:
Unwillingness of respondents that posed a great problem to complete the research. Lack of
understanding of questionnaire is another constraint. In this study the effects of social, cultural,
economic and technological factors were investigated. It is suggested that each of the factors
are to be considered in more detail. In this survey, the difference between women in different
sectors of the industry was not considered. It is suggested that women entrepreneurship in
various industrial and non-industrial sectors to be examined separately.
6. CONCLUSION
Despite the fact that women’s contribution towards the economic growth of the nations is
explicit, but it is remained unnoticed and uncounted. Till recent time women were kept away
from decision making processes to undermine their positions (Karthick et al.,2020). The main
purpose of this research is to find whether there is any relationship or impact of social, cultural,
economic and technological factors on women entrepreneurs’ development in Tirichirappali
district. However, the results reveal that economic and technological factors play an important
role of development of women entrepreneurs (Gopinath, 2019). On the other hand social and
cultural factors had no impacts upon the development of women entrepreneurs. In this study it
is proved that economic and technological factors had a good impact on women entrepreneurs
for improving their socio economic participation. The financial institutions should develop a
new system which helps women so that they can easily access to take credit and it should also
encourage women to participate in all aspects of social and economic development.

INTRODUCTION Entrepreneurship is the core of economic development. It is a multi-dimensional task and essentially a creative activity. It is a key factor of entrepreneurship (Kamulun &Kumar, 1992). An effective entrepreneur requires certain basic qualities such as innovative thinking and far
  • 2. A Study on Impact of Social, Cultural, Economic and Technological Factors on Women Entrepreneurs’ Development in Tiruchirappali District https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJM 3830 editor@iaeme.com sightedness, quick and effective decision making skill, ability to mobilize and marshal resources, strong determination and self-confidence, prepare to take risks, accepting changes in right time, Access and alertness to latest scientific and technological information (Gopinath & Chitra, 2020). In the process of entrepreneurship, women have to face various problems associated with entrepreneurship and these problems get doubled because of her dual role as a wage earner and a home maker. Entrepreneurial Development Culture is to be developed gradually among the women, in addition to providing educational facilities to use the vibrant women forces in right direction (Suchitra & Gopinath, 2020a). This programmes combining technical skill and entrepreneurial skill, to selected groups will make the Indian Women more self-reliant and confident and would lead them to be envied by people at the International level. Even though, there are very efficient institutions at the national level like EDI-Ahmadabad, NSTED Board New Delhi, NISIE Hyderabad and at State Level CED in Madurai and Chennai, TANSTIA in Chennai, such programmes are to be conducted at regional level at the residential area of the women in their vernacular language and to the specific requirements of the people of that area (Suchitra & Gopinath, 2020b). Economic Independence makes women conscious of their rights. Working outside the home and coming into contact with other people have broadened their outlook and mental horizon (Margret Cormack, 1976). Women entrepreneurship Program should not be limited to working with individuals or group of entrepreneurs. An important function for such a program is to act as a collective advocate for women in business in the local community or in wider venues including the province and the nation (Kavitha & Gopinath, 2020a). For example Women and Rural Economic Development (WRED) has been especially active in advocacy at the Provincial and national level. It has also addressed the problem of credit for women businesses by getting a credit union to establish a loan program. Women are more than half of the world population. Women have performed various roles as mother, care giver, producers, and housekeepers to support her families (Kavitha & Gopinath, 2020b). Women’s participation in the economic sphere is getting narrower. Despite all the hardships, their valuable contributions have never been realized in the GDPs, GNPs and so on. Therefore, women can be considered as the valuable human resource for the country. The growing involvement of women in entrepreneurial activities has added a new dimension in the socio economic sphere of India (Gopinath, 2020a). The development of Women Entrepreneurship is one of the crucial issues of contemporary development agenda in many developing countries. Women entrepreneur can be defined as a female person who has along or with one or two more partners start or inherit a business and eager to take financial, administrative, social risks and responsibilities and participate in day to day management activities (UNDP, 2004). Or in other words, women entrepreneurs can be defined as the woman or group of women who initiate organize and operate any business venture (Gopinath & Poornapriya, 2020). Several studies carried out across the world show that involvement of women in entrepreneurship compared to men (GEM, 2010) is less. Why is this so? Environmental factors (social, cultural and economic) and their impacts on women’s entrepreneurship are considered significant in order to deal with question (Rajalakshmi et al., 2020). Tiruchirappali is one of the enriched districts in Tamilnadu because of high rate flow of remittance and locational advantages. However, various women’s entrepreneurs are emerging here day by day. Therefore this study is aimed to find out the socioeconomic factors that have the beneficial role in the development of women entrepreneurs in this area, in general. This study to find out the socio- demographic factors that affect women’s socio-economic development. The second to identify social, cultural, economic and technological factors that hinder women’s socio economic development.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE Reasonably a number of studies in relation to industrial entrepreneurship have already been carried out. A review of literature in connection with earlier researches on Women entrepreneurs are necessary to enumerate the areas already investigated. This process may be helpful to identify certain unexplored fields for further investigations. Hirsrich and O’Brien (1981) conducted a study on the women entrepreneurs from their business and sociological perspective. The study was conducted on female entrepreneurs with the purpose of exploring their demographic characteristics, their motivational and business problems. They observed that female entrepreneurs experience varying business particularly problems with weak collateral position obtaining credit and overcoming society’s belief that women were not as serious as men about business. Surti and Sarupriya (1983) carried out a study entitled, “Psychological factors affecting women entrepreneurs”. They examined the role of experience, the effect of demographic variables such as marital status, type of family and how women entrepreneurs coped with stress. Results indicated that unmarried women experience less stress than married women. Women from Joint Families tended to experience less role stress than those from Nuclear Families. Anna (1989) in her Ph.D. thesis on “Women entrepreneurship in the Industrial Manufacturing sector of Kerala” has pointed out that economic independence and better social status force women into self-employment and entrepreneurship. In her opinion, women are fully aware of the talents and abilities in business and industry. The study briefly narrated the pattern and extent of supply of women entrepreneurship and also examined the entrepreneurial support system. Harper (1992) in her work on “Typology of Enterprising Women in Poor Communities” with a view to develop hypothesis about the society and academic determinable that motivate women to cross the borderlines from generating no income to generating small income through self-employment and the border line from there to growth oriented micro or small business found that one major barrier for women to start or expand business is the lack of exposure. Women become enterprising after intervention from outsiders. Two other findings seem to contradict generally accepted assumptions. Lack of time is not a main constraint and poverty along is not a pushing factor. Awareness has to be created and change has to perceive as something possible. Sethi (1994) conducted a study entitled “Women entrepreneurship in India”. For this study four metropolitan cities were selected. The study revealed that majority women relied heavily on their own fund for initial venture start up. The study also mentioned some specific barriers rooted in the customs and tradition which woman had to face in obtaining formal credit such as property registered in the name of male members, lack of education, lack of experience, lack of information and unfriendly approach by the bank. Socio–economic development is defined in different ways for various contexts of social, political, biological, science and technology, language and literature. In the socio economic perspective, development means the improvement in people’s lifestyles through improved education, incomes, skill development and employment (Mebratu, 1998). Pandian and Mariappan (2005) in their article on “Information technology and women entrepreneurs” highlighted the status of women entrepreneurs in developing countries. They argued that though women have little access to new technologies, there is scope to improve their lives and their families by adopting the recent advancements in science and technology. They also emphasized that information technology offered many new possibilities for women’s economic, social and political empowerment.
  • 4. A Study on Impact of Social, Cultural, Economic and Technological Factors on Women Entrepreneurs’ Development in Tiruchirappali District https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJM 3832 editor@iaeme.com In an underdeveloped country, the masses are under poverty line. They are mostly illiterate and unskilled, use outdated capital equipment and methods of production (Jhingan 1997). As ( Muhammad and Safiya 2013) opines that where women have no direct access to land and cannot have collateral because of patriarchal and customary practices that pass property through the male line, limit women from having direct access to credit. The women are most credit worthy than men, but legal requirements and lack of collateral still limit women’s access to bank credit (Gopinath, 2020). Education, family, marital status and religion are the crucial factors to promote women’s socioeconomic participation. Suleiman (2009) identified education as the bedrock for empowerment and the only panacea to women empowerment. Without education, it will be difficult for women to become economically empowered in the world. Education is the most effective strategy for promoting women empowerment (Muhammad and Safiya 2013). As Gopinath, (2019) states that the issue of women education is essential for socio economic development and the women are not educated well to contribute their useful quota of the society. 3. METHODOLOGY Research methodology includes tools and techniques that are used in research to collect, aggregate and analyze data.

On the other hand, B value of Economic factors (B= .367; sig= .000) and Technological factor (B=.611; sig= .000) that supported the Hypothesis 3 and 4, that means Economic and Technological factors are highly correlated with the women entrepreneurs’ development. 5. LIMITATION AND FUTURE RESEARCH To conduct this study, various limitations had been found and the further research can be carried out on: Unwillingness of respondents that posed a great problem to complete the research. Lack of understanding of questionnaire is another constraint. In this study the effects of social, cultural, economic and technological factors were investigated. It is suggested that each of the factors are to be considered in more detail. In this survey, the difference between women in different sectors of the industry was not considered. It is suggested that women entrepreneurship in various industrial and non-industrial sectors to be examined separately. 6. CONCLUSION Despite the fact that women’s contribution towards the economic growth of the nations is explicit, but it is remained unnoticed and uncounted. Till recent time women were kept away from decision making processes to undermine their positions (Karthick et al.,2020). The main purpose of this research is to find whether there is any relationship or impact of social, cultural, economic and technological factors on women entrepreneurs’ development in Tirichirappali district. However, the results reveal that economic and technological factors play an important role of development of women entrepreneurs (Gopinath, 2019). On the other hand social and cultural factors had no impacts upon the development of women entrepreneurs. In this study it is proved that economic and technological factors had a good impact on women entrepreneurs for improving their socio economic participation. The financial institutions should develop a new system which helps women so that they can easily access to take credit and it should also encourage women to participate in all aspects of social and economic development.
