Abstract
Aim of the study is to identify problems of women entrepreneurs, investigate interrelationships and impose hierarchy on them.
Design of study consists of a discourse of literature review, data collection and analysis. ISM approach has been used to recognize,
investigate and rank problems coupled with MICMAC analysis. Eleven problems of women entrepreneurship have been identified
from literature. ISM depicts that lack of finance occupies bottom level and is the most critical problem, lack of skills/training,
scarcity of working capital and socio-cultural barriers occupy middle of model therefore are moderate severe, whereas, all other
occupy top of model hence deserve relatively last preference. MICMAC analysis disclosed that lack of finance is independent, lack
of access to technology, lack of confidence is dependent, and all other problems are in linking quadrant and there is no autonomous
factor. This is a seminal study having high value for policy makers, women entrepreneurs and society.
