The concept of entrepreneurial competencies is complex, comprising components that can be acquired and changed through experience, training and education (Man, Lau & Chan, 2002). The relevance of such competencies for education calls for a better understanding of two issues: (i) what such competencies are, and (ii) how they can be assessed. In fact, given the inherent complexity in defining entrepreneurial competencies as an umbrella term for different elements, there is a certain risk of ambiguous and non-unique conceptualizations of them (Chell, 2013; Mitchelmore & Rowley, 2010). In this paper we first carry out a literature review regarding the conceptualization and measurement of entrepreneurial competencies. In the second stage, we develop a set of tools to assess the competencies identified and carry out a pilot study on a sample of 60 students attending entrepreneurship education courses in five European countries.

Abstract
The concept of entrepreneurial competencies is complex, comprising components that can be acquired and changed through experience, training and education (Man, Lau & Chan, 2002). The relevance of such competencies for education calls for a better understanding of two issues: (i) what such competencies are, and (ii) how they can be assessed. In fact, given the inherent complexity in defining entrepreneurial competencies as an umbrella term for different elements, there is a certain risk of ambiguous and non-unique conceptualizations of them (Chell, 2013; Mitchelmore & Rowley, 2010). In this paper we first carry out a literature review regarding the conceptualization and measurement of entrepreneurial competencies. In the second stage, we develop a set of tools to assess the competencies identified and carry out a pilot study on a sample of 60 students attending entrepreneurship education courses in five European countries.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
