BRIEF INTRODUCTION
In this topic, you will learn more about entrepreneurship and the
entrepreneurial competencies related to Computer System Servicing. You will have
a first-hand experience in educational activities leading to assessment of your
personal entrepreneurial competencies (PECs) and the entrepreneurial
competencies of a successful computer technician within your province. You will
also have several activities that will align your competencies with those of
successful practitioners. Moreover, this topic will encourage you to think about
entrepreneurship and its role in the business community as well as in the
economic and social development of an individual.

To start with this, let us


first understand entrepreneurs
and entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurs are
those with the skills and
abilities to see and evaluate
business opportunities. They
are individuals who can
strategically identify products
or services needed by the
community, and have the
capacity to deliver them at the right time and at the right place.

Entrepreneurs are agents of economic change; they organize, manage, and


assume risks of a business. Some of the good qualities of entrepreneurs are:
opportunity-seeker, risk-taker, goal-setter, excellent planner, confident problem-
solver, hardworking, persistent and committed.

Entrepreneurship, on the other hand, is not just a simple business activity


but a strategic process of innovation and new product creation. Basically,
entrepreneurship is both an art and science of converting business ideas into
marketable products or services to improve the quality of living.

Now that you have background knowledge about entrepreneurs and


entrepreneurship, you can now walk through in assessing your PECs. Always
remember that successful entrepreneurs continuously develop and improve their
PECs.
