The risks assumed by managers contain unknown elements susceptible to contribute to the bankruptcy of businesses. The dilemmas of managers are not related only to costs, but also to the destiny of their employees.

The biggest challenge is related to the quality of human resources. It is interesting to ascertain that there are fields where the crisis of competences dominates the market. Although there are many individuals on the labour market searching for a job, our reality demonstrates that major disequilibria constantly arise between the demand and the supply of competences.
