Strategic Perspective

The combination of entrepreneurship and strategic management, called strategic entrepreneurship, is still in its infancy, as Hitt et al. proposed it in the year 2001. Since then researchers have continuously pushed their limits to explore it on different fronts and domains. But, so far, a mutual consent on what actually constitutes it has not been achieved. In developing nations like India, this concept presents huge opportunities for researchers to explore it on different dimensions and domains. Specifically talking about the state of Jammu and Kashmir ( J & K) where entrepreneurship was once considered to be a male-dominated field, this concept presents huge opportunities for researchers to fill in the gap. The aim of the present study is to develop and validate a scale which can be used to assess strategic entrepreneurship among women entrepreneurs of the state of J & K in India. The major takeaway of this study is that innovativeness, entrepreneurial culture, entrepreneurial leadership, entrepreneurial mindset, strategic management of resources and networking significantly load on strategic entrepreneurship. The study proposes a significantly positive relationship between the various dimensions which means a positive variation in one dimension leads to a positive variation in another as well and vice versa. The study provides a scale which can be used for test–retest analysis for future studies on strategic entrepreneurship in the state. This study is of great help to the researchers who want to explore strategic perspective of entrepreneurship among women entrepreneurs.

In an emerging nation like India, entrepreneurship has the ability to present a solution for many problems related to the economy. The Union territory (UT) of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) has grave issues of high unemployment and low GDP. A strong form of entrepreneurship can help them overcome these issues. Strategic entrepreneurship has been proposed recently as a form of entrepreneurship which can do wonders for any organisation. So, the present endeavour assesses the strategic entrepreneurship among women owned enterprises in Jammu & Kashmir. The results propose strategic resource management, entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial culture to contribute towards Strategic Entrepreneurship among women entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial leadership is not found to have any significant impact there. In this study a model has been proposed to train women entrepreneurs so that their level of strategic entrepreneurship can be improved. With this they can contribute towards the entrepreneurial growth in J&K and thus overall economic development can be ensured.

High Level

In developing nations like India, entrepreneurship can be a solution of many economy-related problems; to achieve this, high level of entrepreneurial intensity (EI) is to be ensured. EI measures the focus and commitment of an entrepreneur towards his/her venture. It can influence performance of firms, provide sustainable advantage to individuals, societies etc. The state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is facing issues like low GDP and high unemployment. High level of EI, especially among women, can provide solution to many of its problems. So, the present endeavour assesses the level of intensity among the women entrepreneurs and then suggests some measures to enhance the same. The results of the study show that innovativeness, pro-activeness, risk-taking, competitive aggressiveness and autonomy, which are taken as the basic postulates of EI in study, show significant loading. Although women entrepreneurs tend to show pro-activeness and competitive aggressiveness strongly, it is innovativeness, risk-taking and autonomy are not good fit. This study proposes a model for training for the women entrepreneurs to improve their level of EI to accelerate the growth of entrepreneurship in the state. This will in turn enhance the overall economic growth of the state.

The International Labour Organization in Beirut has been running a project in the Palestinian Camps of Nahr El Bared and Ein El Helweh entitled “Palestinian Women Economic Empowerment Initiative”. The project started in 2011 and targets lowincome Palestinian women entrepreneurs through a threefold strategy: giving out loans and grants to women business groups in order to expand their businesses; training women entrepreneurs to enhance their business skills; and building the capacity of support organizations in order to improve business development services for women entrepreneurs and training them to be formally certified to deliver business group formation training. The project builds on the potential of business groups in assuring the protection of Palestinian women entrepreneurs from risks through resilience, pooling of resources, and collective voice. The objectives are to assure a sustainable livelihood for Palestinian women entrepreneurs through supporting them in expanding their businesses beyond survivalist low-income activities
