Human Resources Crisis: Identifying Future Entrepreneur's Profile in Romania

Abstract

This paper aims to highlight entrepreneurship's importance in today's world as a paradoxical field. On the one hand, human resources have always worked on the labour market as either employees or employers, but today, the migration between the two specific categories has started to be more intense and people have just been developing the needed skills to run their own business (even if they are at the beginning of their career, in late-career or even retired) and to cope with entrepreneurial risks. On the other hand, business gurus on heels have appeared and feminine entrepreneurship has started to provide more and more good practices of business strategies. Hence, irrespective of the motivation of every entrepreneur, this concept highly developed in theory shall be more supported by real data on specific sub-samples. In this regard, we undertook a quantitative research on the Central Romanian Development Region (CRDR) so as to identify the profile of the future Romanian entrepreneur and to describe its funding needs and the major areas of business activity it would operate a new business according to its knowledge and skills.
