Abstract: Overall development of women entrepreneurs and their enterprise depends upon the degree to which these women are involved in various aspects related to the managing of enterprises. This therefore calls for a need to explore howfar women entrepreneurs are involved in the management of their enterprises. This, ifknown, will help professionals involved in capacity-building and other related aspects, plan for appropriate interventions. This paper makes an attempt to learn about women entrepreneurs who take initiatives to start their own enterprises. The paper also dwells upon factors that motivate women to initiate the launching of enterprises and then tries to understand those factors which constraints or supports their effective association in managing the enterprises. This under standing is expected to help us in understanding the external support these women obtain from their families and from other agencies. These findings are based on an exploratory survey on a sample of 300 women entrepreneurs in two urban centres. The result reveals that various socio-economic and demographic charac teristics have significant impact on involvement of women entrepreneurs in their enterprise management. It summarises that entrepreneurial development is a function of person in interaction with the environment.
