The Print Industry being a conglomerate requires different skill sets ranging from designing process involving aesthetic skills but sedentary; to binding and packaging which are monotonous but requires mobility. This plethora of skills can match different categories of persons with disabilities.

The authors map the characteristics of specific classes of disability to specific skills required for the jobs in the Print industry.With this mapping a multi-level, hierarchical business model to empower the disabled persons, specifically women, to become an entrepreneur in specific domains in the Print Industry, is proposed. 2013-02-20T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/320 Carpent-Entrepreneurs for Road Furniture – ABusiness for Tomorrow Patel, M, N; Desai, Dinesh With increase in population, transportation has increased many folds in India.

Such networks and relationships could also be built using the virtual medium. In this study, we test the hypothesis that the intensity of Virtual Embeddedness of an entrepreneur is positively associated with the benefits that he could derive in the form of Mentoring, Information, Visibility, Technical Help, Contacts and Reputational Endorsements. We use Non Parametric Correlation Analysis and Mann Whitney Tests in order to investigate the hypothesis. We find that the benefits in the form of Information, Visibility, Technical Help, Contacts and Reputational Endorsements are positively correlated with the degree of Virtual Embeddedness. The greater the level of Virtual Embeddedness of an entrepreneur, higher the benefits derived in the form of Information, Technical Help and Reputational Endorsements.Moderate level of Virtual Embeddedness is sufficient for the entrepreneur to derive benefits in the form of Visibility and Contacts. 2013-02-20T00:00:00Z
