Abstract

Introduction: In the present study, a Micro enterprise is any business unit which is located at rural and semi-urban areas with the capital of not more than three lakhs. These units may be engaged in production, trading, servicing, finance and the other local activities with the available resources of local area and not defined on high technology. Today the village and MSME units account for about 45% of the total industrial production, 30% of the country exports and estimated to employ 96 millions person in over 26 million units throughout the country. It was identified that entrepreneurship is integrally related to variables of environment, structure, strategy and leader personality, and that these relationships vary systematically and logically from one type of firm to another. The scientific interest, expertise and desire for learning and career development among the entrepreneurs may lead them to reverie and wish to implement ideas for innovation and organization renewal (Danny Miller,1983)
