economy. Looking at this perspective, it is imperative to develop the entrepreneurial
orientation and to update the entrepreneurial competencies in order to perform in this

attempts to establish the need of identifying entrepreneurial orientation and
entrepreneurial competencies in entrepreneurs in order to enhance enterprise
