As easy as that may sound, it is very difficult to accomplish in reality. Unlike organizations where work is delegated among a number of individuals, an entrepreneurial venture has all its crucial work shouldered by a single individual-The Entrepreneur (Prajapathi and Rathod, 2014). Thus the skills, capabilities, traits also called the competencies, influence the success of an entrepreneurial venture. This is based on the idea put forth by Chandler and Hanks, (1994) that a start up is basically an extension of its founder. This is truer in case of women entrepreneurs, given the very little support and motivation they receive from the society and the humungous task of balancing work and family that quite naturally falls on them. This probably is the reason why a woman entrepreneur differs from her male counterparts. The present study tries to analyze the role of entrepreneurial competencies in predicting the firm performance of women entrepreneurs. Data from 150 women entrepreneurs who have been running a registered firm for at least 3 years has been collected and analyzed using SPSS 21. Results reveal that the entrepreneurial competencies are positively related to the firm performance of these women entrepreneurs.Item EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND RESILIENCE TO EMBRACE CHANGE DURING INDUSTRY 4.0(Asian Journal of Multi-dimensional Research/8/ Spl Issue 1, 2019-05) M., Reshma; B., SripirabaaIndustry 4.0 or the fourth industrial revolution as it is commonly called is an era of automation and digitization but most importantly an age of turbulence, volatility and uncertainty. Every time industry embraces new technology or automation, there is always reluctance and resistance from people for fear of change. While change is inevitable, our preparedness for it is what matters. Only organizations that are able to predict future changes and prepare well in advance grow with time and survive. Though the impact of industry 4.0 will be felt in every department of an organization, its effect on the human resources will be the strongest. So, what will be required of the employees in an organization in the age of machines? What are the competencies that employees will be required to possess in order to adapt to changing times? Up skilling and continuous search for knowledge will be the norm if one has to sustain among the hyper intelligent machines, but what competencies in a person will facilitate such adaptive behavior? This paper tries to conceptualize a model that proposes that emotional intelligence and resilience of an individual can facilitate himto effectively adapt and manage changes like the fourth industrial revolution.
