Publisher's Synopsis
The efficiency, success and contribution of entrepreneurship development programmes (EDPs) in India are the focus of this volume. The authors highlight the factors contributing to the success or failure of such programmes and evaluate the role of support agencies with reference to the promotion of first generation entrepreneurs through EDPs.
Centring on data generated from extensive interviews and using both quantitative and qualitative techniques, Dinesh NAwasthi and Jose Sebastian analyze the factors affecting the quality of EDPs. They conclude that while EDPs have fulfilled expectations to a great extent, they need to be streamlined to become more efficient and easier to implement.
