Tenth Biennial Conference on EntrepreneurshipSummary: Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDI) is engaged in developing a gold and silver manufacturing cluster in Rajkot. The cluster has about thirty thousand units and ninety eight percentages of these units are micro units. While conducting a diagnostic study of the cluster, EDI did technology mapping and technological gap analysis. The study resulted in six innovations involvingmoderate technologies essential for the cluster in order to improve the quality and productivity of the units. The response for adopting these technologies have been noted by contacting a sample of entrepreneurs and asking them questions related to acceptance of the innovations. The introduction of these technologies offered resistance for adoption among themicro units. EDI therefore, identified variable factorswhich are particularly important for acceptance of the technology. Subsequently, a mathematical model was developed taking one variable as resistance to innovations and other variables related to conventional characteristics of entrepreneurs. This model analyses and synthesises the factors which are ultimately responsible for the acceptability of the innovations by the cluster units....
