Instructional design for building entrepreneurial competency in Romania: First stage research framework and results

Abstract

Focusing on entrepreneurial competency, the paper presents the research framework and results concerning the current training needs in Romania as the first stage for specific instructional design. Key entrepreneurial competencies leading to business success-(1) personal, including dominant entrepreneurial values, (2) social, and (3) practical/professional-were analyzed against typical competencies described by the literature. The study was conducted in four Romanian NUTS Regions (North-East, North-West, West, and Center), as part of a larger research project, CE@ANPART-Partnership for developing entrepreneurial capability and competitive human capital in Romania, aiming at developing a flexible web-based education and training needs assessment complex tool to be used at national level. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media.
