ENTREPRENEURIAL
COMPETENCIES
• To better understand what PECs mean and to be able to explain why we need to have, or at
least examine one's self to develop PECs, let us first break down and define the significant
terms used so we can understand PECs in layman's term. First. what is an ”entrepreneur"?
Taking from Merriam—Webster's (most common and widely accepted dictionary) definition,
an entrepreneur is "one who organizes, manages. And assumes the risks of a business or
enterprise. "second, to be successful in this undertaking, its suggested that one must be
competent enough to handle the rigors of such undertaking. But what exactly is being
"competent"? Again, taking from Merriam-Webster's definition, it is “having the necessary
ability or skills: able to do something well or well enough to meet a standard. "There is no
exact definition for "entrepreneurial competency” but by combining the definitions taken
from Merriam—Webster, it follows that entrepreneurial competency or competencies is a
concept of a collective set of abilities (could be non—academic—a person's inherent positive
character, trait, or attitude) and/or skills. sufficient enough or more than sufficient to
organize, manage, and assume the risk of a business or enterprise profitably.
