Concept of Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is one of the resources economists categorize as integral to production; the three
resources are land/natural resources, labor and capital. An entrepreneur combines these three to manufacture
goods or provide services. They typically create a business plan, hire labor, acquire resources and financing,
and provide leadership and management for the business (www.investopedia.com).
The word “entrepreneur” was derived from the French verb enterprendre, which means “to
undertake.” This is pinpointing to those who “undertake” the risk of enterprise. The enterprise is created by an
entrepreneur and the process is called “Entrepreneurship.”
Entrepreneurs are innovators, willing to take risks and generate new ideas to make it unique and
profitable solutions to the present-day problems.

g. Risk-taker - which means that he is willing to gamble but he will calculate it first.
2. Environmental Factors - Include political, climate, legal system, economic and social conditions
and market situations.
The question is not who entrepreneurs are, but what they do, and more important than business skills can
be other competencies that provide a foundation for those business skills (www.ideasforleaders.com).
Furthermore, according to www.ideasforleaders.com, there are three levels of competencies, which all
entrepreneurs need:

assured in whatever situation you may find yourself. (www.free-management-ebooks.com).

2. Interpersonal competencies – These are your ability to lead, influence, communicate, supervise,
negotiate, and control people at all levels. It is the ability to get along with people and motivate
people to perform jobs. Entrepreneurs must effectively manage people (baseread.com).

3. Business competencies – These are set of particular abilities and knowledge that sets a company
apart from its competitors (yourbusiness.azcentral.com). It also refers to the key characteristics that
successful entrepreneurs should have in order to be successful (www.mustangbols.com).
Ex. business vision, financial management, networking
Core vs. Common Competencies in Entrepreneurship
Competencies in entrepreneurship play a leading role in making entrepreneurs successful
(baseread.com).
Core competence is the foundation for sharpening a company's competitive edge and it guides brand
reputation, business growth, and marketing strategy (www.thebalancesmb.com).

2. Innovative - Entrepreneurs constantly look for new ideas, thus he needs to be creative.
