activities leading to assessment of your personal entrepreneurial competencies (PECs) and

Moreover, this module 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 module, let us first understand entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurs are those with the skills and capabilities 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.
