Some of the economies such as China, Malaysia, Thailand etc., have witnessed substantial growth rates in their economies and this has been made possible due to the joint efforts put in by both men and women entrepreneurs.
However, in spite of their important contributions to socio- economic development, it has been unfortunate that the potentials of women are underutilized and they still continue to suffer from various constraints, which inhibit them from optimally realizing their potential for economic development.
One of the major constraints women face as entrepreneurs is the lack of their appropriate attitude towards entrepreneurship as their career, their perceptions regarding their role in economic development, insufficient knowledge regarding access to productive resources and services, finance, marketing etc.

In spite of being talented and having a viable and creative business idea, they are unable to put their plans effectively into action because of all the above mentioned constraints.
A need is, therefore, felt for a change in their attitude towards entrepreneurship as a career, their perceptions regarding their contributions towards economic development, their inherent skills in managing resources and overall development of their competencies as business persons.

It has been experimentally tested and proved that entrepreneurial qualities, skills, attitudes and perceptions can be instilled and developed through a judicious mix of training interventions, counseling and guidance.
Although there have been enough training professionals meant for providing entrepreneurship training in general, there is still dearth of sufficient trainer–motivators primarily focusing on women entrepreneurship in particular.
Recognizing this gap, there is a need for a judicious mix of customized training interventions focusing on women entrepreneurship, which may create a cadre of professional who can motivate, counsel and facilitate more and more women towards new enterprise creation and also accelerate the growth of the existing women entrepreneurs.
This programme primarily focuses on this objective and tends to equip the participants with a set of new tools and methodologies to develop and enhance entrepreneurial capabilities within women.

Capital Market acts as a bridge that connects all the providers and users of funds with an objective to mobilize capital and convert public savings into capital for corporations and institutions.

It enables firms and households to cope with economic uncertainties by hedging, pooling, sharing and pricing risks.
An efficient Capital Market reduces the costs and risks of producing and trading goods and services, and thus makes an important contribution to raising standards of living, which bears direct impact on economic development.

Since the beginning of this decade, the Indian capital markets have been receiving global attention due to the improving macroeconomic fundamentals.
The presence of a vibrant economy, rapid integration with the world economy and liberalization measures taken by the government have increased India's global competitiveness and have helped the capital markets grow by leaps and bounds.

The process and systems developed are of great importance for other countries to understand and replicate.
With the revolution in global capital markets, empowered by increasingly sophisticated information and technology systems, there is an acute need for trained professionals to entrust important roles in all spheres of capital market activity.

This includes market intermediaries such as investment banks, brokerage houses, credit rating agencies, stock markets, commodity markets, regulatory bodies, asset management companies, corporate bodies to name a few.
The programme introduces a full range of capital market instruments, commodity market products, key players and features of the international markets that will enhance the decision making capabilities in raising capital in international market.

Entrepreneurial Management October 23 – December 1, 2017 As organizations grow and mature, they face several challenges due to the changing environment.

The specific objectives are to: 1.

As an outcome, emphasis on clusters and network development has increased both in developed and developing countries.

Clusters are now widely considered as an effective platform to enlarge production base, trigger growth, alleviate poverty and redress regional economic imbalances.

Cluster Development Programme (CDP) has become one of the most effective instruments to ensure survival and growth of existing micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Experience shows that successful implementation of the Cluster Development Programme (CDP) could help MSMEs to improve their business performance, adopt appropriate technology, improve quality and productivity, increase turnover and export, and improve HR and overall management efficiency.

Joint initiatives nurtured under CDP could help the cluster firms go for value addition, product customization, brand building, and improvement of marketing and export performance.
This would ensure their holistic development and contribute towards Local Economic Development (LED).

These efforts are needed to enhance competitiveness of the cluster MSMEs and make them stand tall in the globalized economy.

Successful implementation of a cluster development programme would require involvement of a person, known as Cluster Development Executive (CDE), who can streamline development initiative in the desired manner.
The programme aims to improve knowledge and skill of the participants which would enable them in successful implementation of CDP.
The programme would give them an in-depth understanding of clusters and their significance, dynamics of MSMEs working in clusters, role of trust building and CDE, consortium approach for developing holistic business performance, role of business development services (BDS), private-public-partnership (PPP) mode in developing common facility centres (CFCs) and improving global competitiveness of the cluster firms/MSMEs.

In other words, it is entrepreneurship in a technology intensive context.
It is a process of merging technology prowess and entrepreneurial talents and skills.

This process of Technopreneurship promotes and enables startups, which in turn improves the socio-economic picture of a particular region.

A startup is a young budding company that is just beginning to develop.

Startups are usually small and initially financed and operated by a handful of founders or one individual.
These companies offer a product or service that is not currently being offered elsewhere in the market, or that the founders believe is being offered in an inferior manner.

Startups have a far-reaching ripple effect on the socio- economic fabric of the demography in which they operate.

Infosys has impacted Bangalore and Alibaba has changed Hangzhou.

What Google has done to Mountain View and how Microsoft transformed Redmond are case studies in themselves.
When these startups grew, they directly impacted growth of their cities as well.

Employment opportunities for youth increased and new employment patterns came into picture.

Demand and employment opportunities for engineers saw a steep rise.

Local youth had new opportunities to pursue, and experienced talent started moving to these cities in pursuit of a challenging and high- growth career.
Similarly Start-Up Chile has proven a driving force in putting Chile on the world's entrepreneurial map, including Israel, Africa and others in the chain.

Technopreneur is the person who terminates the existing economic order by introducing, new products and services, by creating new forms of organizations and by exploiting new raw materials.

It is someone who perceives an opportunity and creates an organization to pursue it.

Business Research Methodology & Data Analysis December 11, 2017 – February 2, 2018 (8 weeks) RATIONALE : Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) constitute a large share of enterprises in most countries and are the cornerstone of economies.

They are a major source of employment and income in most countries.

However, they need to be competitive to survive and grow in the present era of liberalized and digital economy, making national boundaries almost irrelevant.
Most of the SMEs are inward looking and not very competitive.

They merely survive and sooner than later, seize to exist.

One of the reasons for this lacklustre performance is their inability to access and analyze right kind of information for decision making.

Large corporates can afford to hire world class consultancy firms like McKinsey, Price Waterhouse Coopers, etc.

whereas MSMEs find it almost impossible to afford them.
These large firms get extra advantage as the information generated by analysis of data collected using reliable research methodology, accurately serves the purpose of aiding them in making decisions under intricate situations.

Also, data related to visitors of social media sites and navigation patterns on portals are widely used by large firms for predictive analysis.

On the other hand, decision making at MSMEs is often based on ad hoc methods or gut feeling, making them more vulnerable to failures.
Although globalization has led to increased competition, it also offers opportunities for expansion of business, for firms with strategic and competitive strengths.

Furthermore, the size of firm does not matter.

In this era of digital economy, business success is strongly associated with up-to-date information and knowledge of markets, consumers and competitors acquired using scientifically proven research methods.

Business research is vital for sustainability of MSMEs in the global economy.
To grab the opportunities that globalization offers, MSMEs need information to support their decisions on target markets, product-mix, branding, consumer perception, trends, supply and demand forecasting and quality control.

TARGET GROUP: The target group will comprise small business facilitators, COURSE CONTENT : Module 1 Fundamentals of Business Statistics and analysis, to gain competitive edge for marching ahead successfully, in this time of cut-throat global competition.
Theoretical background of research perfectly blended with practical exercises on business problems will provide better understanding of applications of basic and advanced statistical tools to the participants.

Considering the financial limitations of MSME sector, this training would be conducted using Excel/SPSS for data analysis.
The programme will enable participants to carry out research with tight budget and improve their proficiency in selection of analytical tools and interpretation of the statistical outcomes on Market Segmentation, Brand Research, Consumer Analytics, Trends and Forecasting, Gap Analysis, Perceptual Mapping etc., to solve business problems.

December 6, 2017 BENEFITS TO PARTICIPANTS : LAST DATE FOR RECEIPT OF NOMINATION FORM AT ITEC, MEA, GoI : large share of enterprises in most countries and are the cornerstone of economies.

They are a major source of employment and income in most countries.

However, they need to be competitive to survive and grow in the present era of liberalized and digital economy, making national boundaries almost irrelevant.

Most of the SMEs are inward looking and not very competitive.
They merely survive and sooner than later, seize to exist.

One of the reasons for this lacklustre performance is their inability to access and analyze right kind of information for decision making.

Large corporates can afford to hire world class consultancy firms like McKinsey, Price Waterhouse Coopers, etc.

whereas MSMEs find it almost impossible to afford them.
These large firms get extra advantage as the information generated by analysis of data collected using reliable research methodology, accurately serves the purpose of aiding them in making decisions under intricate situations.

Also, data related to visitors of social media sites and navigation patterns on portals are widely used by large firms for predictive analysis.

On the other hand, decision making at MSMEs is often based on ad hoc methods or gut feeling, making them more vulnerable to failures.
Although globalization has led to increased competition, it also offers opportunities for expansion of business, for firms with strategic and competitive strengths.

Furthermore, the size of firm does not matter.

In this era of digital economy, business success is strongly associated with up-to-date information and knowledge of markets, consumers and competitors acquired using scientifically proven research methods.

Business research is vital for sustainability of MSMEs in the global economy.
To grab the opportunities that globalization offers, MSMEs need information to support their decisions on target markets, product-mix, branding, consumer perception, trends, supply and demand forecasting and quality control.
OBJECTIVES: This training programme of 8 weeks has been designed for COURSE DIRECTOR : Dr. Jignasu Yagnik capacity building of SMEs in carrying out in-house research E-MAIL : yagnik@ediindia.org 32 33 Entrepreneurship Education to Strengthen Emerging Economies OBJECTIVES : The key objectives are to: RATIONALE : February 5 – March 16, 2018 In emerging economies, where aspiring entrepreneurs may have more modest ambitions, entrepreneurship interventions are needed to address limitations in the understanding of how entrepreneurs use their attributes and capabilities in concert with networks (or other mechanisms) to overcome macrolevel institutional and economic barriers and initiate new businesses.
Opportunity alone does not result in entrepreneurship.

Individuals need to feel motivated to take optimum advantage of opportunity and ability.

The extent to which they do it, will reflect their belief that being an entrepreneur, irrespective of whether one is successful or not, is socially valued.

The conviction that success will not be resented or failure stigmatized is fundamental.

A large section of masses from developing countries are oblivious of Entrepreneurship and its benefits.
Young generation after passing their initial phases of education are still running to get admissions in those courses or programmes which would ensure jobs in government or private sector or multinational companies etc.

Even after completing education only a handful of youngsters prefer to opt for entrepreneurship as their career.

A general perception that those who could not perform well in other careers normally choose business as a career creates more disinterest in entrepreneurship.
Business is thus a last resort for them.

Therefore there is a need for focused strategies and interventions in education specifically designed to create and expand the resource base of faculty/trainers in entrepreneurship.

As entrepreneurship is an applied discipline, even the teaching pedagogy needs to be different from management or traditional education.
Having pioneered entrepreneurship education and development, and capacity building and institutionalisation of entrepreneurship in India and several other countries, the Institute is keen to share the rich experiences with policy makers, administrators, development professionals, practitioners, early stage entrepreneurs, faculty members, trainers, and consultants of developing countries to enhance entrepreneurial mind sets.

In many areas of the world, particularly in sub- Saharan Africa, the number of people living in absolute poverty is rising.
Families living in poverty also lack representation, power and status that prevent them from claiming their rights and are denied to them opportunities to improve their lives.

In the current decade, according to estimates of the World Bank, more and more people across the world will be seeking work every year.

Thus, to ensure full employment within a decade, new livelihood opportunities will have to be generated every year.
Given the magnitude of the problem, and the dearth of resources for livelihood promotion, the task of promoting livelihoods for the poor becomes all the more urgent.

It calls for organizations to use their resources optimally to achieve maximum scale.

The primary reason to promote livelihoods is the belief in the essential right of all human beings to equal opportunity.

Poor people do not have life choices nor do they have opportunities.
Ensuring that a poor household has a stable livelihood will substantially increase its income, and over a period of time, asset ownership, self-esteem and social participation.

The second reason for livelihood promotion is to promote economic growth.

The 'bottom of the pyramid' comprising nearly 4 billion out of the 6 billion people in the world, do not have the purchasing power to buy even the bare necessities of life – food, clothing and shelter.
But as they get steadier incomes through livelihood promotion, they become customers of many goods and services, which then promote growth.

The third reason for promoting livelihoods is to ensure social and political stability.

When people are hungry, they tend to take to violence, crime.

Thus, we see that there are idealistic, utilitarian and plain self-interest based arguments for livelihood promotion.

But whatever be the reason, we need to worry about – how to promote livelihoods?
Against this backdrop, the Institute offers to share the knowledge, learning and experiences with international professionals engaged in pursuing livelihood agenda.

Country Botswana Cameroon Gambia Ghana Kenya Lesotho Malawi Mauritius Mozambique Namibia Nigeria Seychelles Sierra Leone South Africa Swaziland Tanzania Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe 42 43 II D E F aci l it ie s About the Institute An acknowledged National Resource Institute for Entrepreneurship Education, Research, Training & Institution Building.
Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), an autonomous and not- for-profit institute, set up in 1983, is sponsored by apex financial institutions - the IDBI Bank Ltd., IFCI Ltd., ICICI Bank Ltd. and the State Bank of India (SBI).

The Government of Gujarat pledged twenty-three acres of land on which stands the majestic and sprawling EDII campus.

To pursue its mission, EDII has helped set up twelve state-level exclusive entrepreneurship development centres and institutes.
One of the satisfying achievements, however, was taking entrepreneurship to a large number of schools, colleges, science and technology institutions and management schools in several states by including entrepreneurship inputs in their curricula.
In view of EDII’s expertise in Entrepreneurship, the University Grants Commission had also assigned EDII the task of developing curriculum on Entrepreneurship and the Gujarat Textbook Board assigned to it the task of developing textbooks on Entrepreneurship for 11th & 12th standards.
In order to broaden the frontiers of Entrepreneurship Research, EDII has established a Centre for Research in Entrepreneurship Education and Development (CREED), to investigate into a range of issues surrounding small and medium enterprise sector, and establish a network of researchers and trainers by conducting a biennial seminar on entrepreneurship education and research.
In the international arena, efforts to develop entrepreneurship by way of sharing resources and organising training programmes, have helped EDII earn accolades and support from the World Bank, Commonwealth Secretariat, UNIDO, ILO, FNSt, British Council, Ford Foundation, European Union, ASEAN Secretariat and several other renowned agencies.

The Ministry of External Affairs, Govt.

of India assigned EDII to set up Entrepreneurship Development Centers in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam.
One such Centre in Uzbekistan and five such centres in African region will be established very soon.
