Lesson Proper:

An entrepreneur creates a new business in the face of risk and


uncertainty for the purpose of achieving profit and growth by identifying
opportunities and assembling the necessary resources to capitalize on
them (Kent 1995). For one to be successful like Bill Gates, Warren
Buffet, Elon Musk, Henry Sy, Manuel Pangilinan, Jack Ma and the like
you must possess or acquire an entrepreneurial competency.

Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PEC’s) refers to the key


characteristics, qualities, skills, abilities, knowledge, and attitude that a
successful entrepreneur should have to be successful. These
competencies of entrepreneurs, if acquired at an earlier stage of the
educational process, may lead to the development or enhancement of the
entrepreneurial inclinations especially in the food business.

PERSONAL ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCIES

Management System International identified ten (10) entrepreneurial


competencies namely:

1. Opportunity seeking is the ability to spot and explore opportunities


before they become obvious.

2. Persistence is what allows people to keep going, even if others


decided to quit and give up. It is the ability that drives you to go on no
matter how tough and challenging the obstacles may be.

3. Commitment It is the feeling of responsibility that a person has


towards the goals, mission, and vision of the organization he/she is
associated with.

4. Demand for Quality and Efficiency is related to self-efficacy, the


belief that he/she is in control of his/her fate, which has been validated
to be a strong predictor of entrepreneurial intention.

5. Risk taking is our ability to correctly identify, evaluate, control, and


monitor the danger we are exposed to, and make to a conscious decision
to engage based on the cost benefit analysis. In life and business, we
should take calculated risks.

6. Goal setting. Experts define goal setting as the act of selecting a


target or objectives you wish to achieve for a specific period and the ways
to achieve these goals. When setting a goal, it should be SMART; specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bounded.

7. Information seeking is the process or activity of obtaining


information both in human and technological contexts before making a
conscious decision. Information at hand may have a significant impact
in decision outcomes. Entrepreneurs do not like uncertainty or
assumptions they get information from experts, research, and clients.

8. Systematic planning and monitoring. Systematic means “in an


orderly way”. Planning is deciding what you are going to do, when do you
want to do it, and how you would like to do it. Monitoring on the other
hand is checking how far are you from the target and what adjustment
must be made to redirect actions towards the target.

9. Persuasion and networking are skills not everyone is good at. But
successful entrepreneurs had mastered the skill of influencing other
people to follow them, believe in their advocacy and buy the product or
service they are selling through effective and efficient persuasion.

10. Self-confidence belief in oneself and taking total responsibility for


making things happen is what self-confidence is all about.
