¶ … Saudi women entrepreneurship
Saudi women of the 21st century have progressed in marked ways compared to women of a decade ago. Nonetheless, female entrepreneurs are saddled with quite a few difficulties that prevent them from progressing and impede their social and personal life as well as making their vocational progress extremely challenging. The research will investigate Saudi women entrepreneurs social role in developing Saudi economy and challenges facing them.
Women are faced with tremendous difficulties. Barriers include lack of market studies, lack of governmental support, lack of coordination among government departments, lack of support from the community, society restrictions and oligopolistic attitude of the investors (Asad Sadi, & Al-Ghazali, 2010). To overcome all of this and proceed with one's dreams, one must be remarkably stubborn and the women must be extremely resilient to overcome these difficulties. That they are motived by self-actualization is one matter. But entrepreneurs in this position need far more than self-actualization; they need perseverance, persistence, and a particular type of resilience and invulnerability to...
All entrepreneurs have to possess a special mindset in starting and maintaining their business, since all business involves stubbornness and a mindset of courage and resilience (McElwee & Al-Riyami, 2003; Starr & Yudkin, 1996). These women not only have the normal challenges of the regular entrepreneur but challenges far beyond that, where their very country, friends, family, and competitors all oppose them and often attempt to make them fail (Syed Zamberi, 2011).. The question of this study then is to inquire into what exactly makes them surmount these difficulties; how they surmount these difficulties; and kind of techniques that they use that enable them to do so.
Relevance of the study
I see contributions of this study as being multiple from applying to any entrepreneur in any regular circumstance who attempts to put together and maintain a business, to any and every woman who would like help in dealing with challenging situations. Chances of businesses succeeding are slim and females have even more hurdles than males in launching successful businesses. Much devolves on perseverance and on obtaining and maintaining a 'thick' skin (Cohoon, J. et al., 2010)). These female entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia who seem to be able to persevere despite their incorrigible difficulties present a sample of remarkable individuals who would be worthy of study. Investigating their strategies can…

Regardless, this type of commitment to promoting women's involvement does not guarantee that they are empowered to participate. Indeed, the case of Iraq exemplifies that gender concerns may be sacrificed to "greater priorities" as security and the political agendas of different actors. As long as the Western occupation continues, there will be Islamist forces that, in the name of fighting the occupation, will greatly restrict women's participation in public life.

As he believes, that when firms are collaborating with government officials, they are creating win -- win situations for everyone involved. This is significant, because it is showing how the government wants to see these kinds of programs implemented to improve the business environment and the standard of living in various regions of the country.
