Abstract
A precondition for overcoming the crisis and strengthening the competitiveness and growth of small businesses, is creation of an entrepreneurial environment. The enterprise, as the driving force of the economy, and the role of women and human resources in overcoming the crisis situation, will be the main topics of this paper. By encouraging women to become entrepreneurs a direct benefit would be the decrease of unemployment and with more women at the manager positions the society could benefit through more stable and successful businesses, according to different sources and research. This altogether could be one of the ways to overcome the crisis. The first section of this paper will show why entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs and generally human resources are important drivers of economic growth. Special focus will be directed to women managers and women’s leadership style. The central part of the work will show how women entrepreneurship, with all its problems and benefits, is contributing to the recovery of economy. Special attention will be paid to those problems which all entrepreneurs face, and also to the measures which have to be into consideration to overcome these problems as to achieve higher level of women self-employment.
