BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:
LOOKING BACK TO LESSON:
Entrepreneurship is a catchword in this era of globalized economy. It is a foundation and catalyst for
economic growth and innovation across nations (Edralin, D. M., 2016).

Common Elements of Entrepreneurship (Edralin, D. M., 2016):

 Innovation
 Opportunity seeking and exploitation
 Resource mobilizing
 Encountering risks and uncertainties
 Economic and personal rewards

Roles of Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurs in Economic Development and Society (Edralin, D.

M., 2016):
 Creates employment
 Develops new markets
 Introduces innovation
 Generates new sources of materials
 Stimulates investment interest in the new business ventures being created
 Improves the quality of life
 Serves as role models  Brings social benefits to the people
 Utilizes and mobilizes indigenous resources  Provides more alternatives for consumers

Entrepreneurs are found everywhere around the globe and they are a distinct group of business
people who contribute to the development of the society. They are the founder and creator of the
enterprise who make use of the opportunities that abound to start or grow business, knowing that
there are risks involved in such undertaking (Edralin, D. M., 2016).

Are entrepreneurs born or made?

This question has long been debated with little agreement.

However, as cited by Longenecker, J.G., et.al. (2016), Stephen Spinelli and Robert Adams described
entrepreneurs as having and exhibiting “desirable and acquirable attitudes and behaviors” such as
commitment and determination, leadership, opportunity obsession, risk-takers, motivation to excel,
creativity, self-reliance, and adaptability.
 According to (www.ideasforleaders.com), competencies such as risk seeking, assertiveness and
vision are considered typical of a successful entrepreneur. But these are innate predispositions or
aspects of temperament; by using them as yardstick, it is wrongly concluded that only certain types
of people make good entrepreneurs or are capable of worthwhile innovations.

Is there such a thing as a ‘natural-born entrepreneur’?

Accordingly there is not. Specific techniques and habits must be practiced and developed by all
would-be entrepreneurs. Aside from business competencies, entrepreneurs need interpersonal
and self-leadership skills too; however, these are often overlooked. Entrepreneurial behavior‟ can
be learned and developed (www.ideasforleaders.com).

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:

1. Personal competencies – These are your abilities to ground yourself so that you are secure and
self-assured in whatever situation you may find yourself (www.free-management-ebooks.com).
Ex. creativity, determination, integrity, self-criticism.

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).
Ex. communication, engagement, delegation

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
