ROLE OF A WOMEN ENTREPRENEUR IN AGCC (ARAB GULF COOPERATION COUNCIL) WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Abstract

With the fast-growing economies of the world, the role and contribution of women entrepreneurship to the growth and performance of the organization cannot be marginalized. In the present scenario, the genesis of women entrepreneurship is perceived in most of the organizations across the world. This has enchanted the concentration of the theorists and ideologists paving the way for further researches and amendments in this area. In greater numbers than ever before, women are stepping away from traditional economic roles and venturing out to start their own businesses, enabling them to become self- dependent and set the examples for the organizations.  Further women entrepreneurs have overcome seemingly impossible odds and reckoned to the high performance and growth of the organization parallel to the masculine manpower exploring the new avenues of the business potential.

Needless to say, the significant changes in the world economy have greatly altered the status of women in the marketplace. New opportunities have generated new challenges—meeting the greater demand for skills and specialization of knowledge, maintaining the viability of those skills and that knowledge in an ever-changing marketplace, and accommodating the instability that can arise from such changes. As a result, new ways of thinking and doing have to be considered. At this juncture, the leadership style of women and their special capacities and qualities appear quite valuable. This paper is an attempt to spotlight the role of women entrepreneurs in AGCC commonly known as Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The scholar has evaluated the role of women entrepreneurs in AGCC which would create a base for sound apprehension regarding women empowerment in the emerging economy of the world.
