Entrepreneurial Competence of Women in EU Project Management

Planning and managing projects in order to achieve objectives, mostly in a complex environment, including creativity, innovation and risk taking ability, are all characteristics and describe entrepreneurial competence. This paper provides findings of an entrepreneurial competence research by comparing the crucial aspects that project managers who conduct EU projects are expected to have, with the physical and psychological characteristics of female and male managers that are furthermore correlated to the business performance and it’s monitoring in strategic leadership context. Variety of studies shows the interconnection of entrepreneurship competencies and gender, clamming that women worldwide own and manage less business than men, they tend to focus on different business sectors than men, and have different socioeconomic conditions such as education, social status, financial capacities and similar (Minniti and Naudé, 2010, pp. 277–288). The level of entrepreneurial competences of employees is surely a significant element in a success of an enterprise but also of a project, specifically those funded by the EU. This paper provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for the successful fulfilment of EU projects in a complex gender environment.
