Entrepreneurship Skills Required To Overcome Barriers To Growth by Wumivic(m): 9:43am On Jul 18, 2016
It is still a topic of much debate whether entrepreneurs are born or made. While it is generally acknowledged that there are natural ‘born’ entrepreneurs, there are also researchers who believe that entrepreneurship is a skill that can be learned.

Drucker (1985) argued that entrepreneurship is a practice and that “most of what you hear about entrepreneurship is all wrong. It’s not magic; it’s not mysterious; and it has nothing to do with genes. It’s a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned.” If one agrees with Drucker’s concept of entrepreneurship, then it follows that education and training can play a key role in its development.

In a traditional understanding, entrepreneurship was strongly associated with the creation of a business and therefore it was argued that the skills required to achieve this outcome could be developed through training.

More recently entrepreneurship is being viewed as a way of thinking and behaving that is relevant to all parts of society and the economy, and such an understanding of entrepreneurship now requires a different approach to training.

The educational methodology needed in today’s world is one which helps to develop an individual’s mindset, behaviour, skills and capabilities and can be applied to create value in a range of contexts and environments from the public sector, charities, universities and social enterprises to corporate organisations and new venture start-ups.

Lichtenstein and Lyons (2001) argued that it is important for service providers to recognise that entrepreneurs come to entrepreneurship with different levels of skills and therefore each entrepreneur requires a different ‘game plan’ for developing his or her skills.

Furthermore, they suggested that skill development is a qualitative, not quantitative, change which demands some level of transformation on the part of the entrepreneur.
