The aim of this paper is to examine the importance of different aspects of business success for different age and educational groups of female entrepreneurs in the Republic of Serbia. An empirical study was conducted on a sample of 40 female entrepreneurs from several urban areas in the Republic of Serbia. The data are analysed by conducting the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and one-way Multivariate Analysis of Variances (MANOVA). Results show that all different aspects of business success that were examined can be grouped around two main dimensions - qualitative and quantitative one. Although certain differences in the importance of these dimensions between female entrepreneurs of different age and education were found, they were not statistically important. However, this research can be seen as a pilot study, so further research, which would possibly presuppose a realization of a larger sample, can be carried out starting from the defined conceptual and methodological framework.

Small and medium sized-enterprises (SMEs) are often seen as a sector important for job creation. About 2/3 of the overall employment is provided by this sector, both in the EU and in the Republic of Serbia. There is evidence that SMEs are responsible for the most part of the net employment growth. The SMEs sector in Serbia is identified as sector which can absorb a part of the unemployment generated by the large scale enterprises’ (LSEs) restructuring and privatization. Today, the unemployment rate in Serbia is high above the average unemployment rate in the EU. The question is whether the SMEs sector can absorb that unemployment, or is this sector more influenced by the crisis, relative to the LSEs. The aim of this paper is to examine the employment contribution of the SMEs in the Republic of Serbia. Furthermore, the paper will deal with the impact of the crisis on the SMEs’ employment, efficiency and their investment activities. The problems that are identified by SMEs, and that lead to rising unemployment in this sector over the past few years will be considered and analyzed.

Mala i srednja preduzeća (MSP) se često vide kao sektor bitan za kreiranje novih radnih mesta. Ovaj sektor privrede obezbeđuje oko 2/3 svih radnih mesta, kako u Republici Srbiji, tako i u EU. Postoje empirijski dokazi da su mala i srednja preduzeća zaslužna za najveći deo rasta neto zaposlenosti. U Republici Srbiji se ova preduzeća vide kao preduzeća koja mogu da apsorbuju deo nezaposlenosti koja se restrukturiranjem i privatizacijom generiše u sektoru velikih preduzeća. Danas je stopa nezaposlenosti u Srbiji značajno veća od prosečne stope nezaposlenosti na nivou EU. Pitanje je da li sektor MSP može da apsorbuje ovu nezaposlenost, ili su ova preduzeća u većoj meri pogođena krizom, relativno prema velikim preduzećima. Rad ima za cilj da ispita doprinos malih i srednjih preduzeća zaposlenosti u Republici Srbiji. Takođe, u radu se istražuje uticaj krize na zaposlenost u ovom sektoru, na efikasnost i na nivo investicionih aktivnosti malih i srednjih preduzeća. Osnovni problemi za vlasnike malih i srednjih preduzeća koji vode rastućoj nezaposlenosti u ovom sektoru biće razmotreni i analizirani.
