abstract |
This paper discusses research which was stimulated by the controversial question of
the educability of entrepreneurial characteristics and the economic value of enterprise
training. The research focuses on participants on enterprise training courses within
the Irish Republic which aim to help people to set up and run businesses. An attempt
was made to develop a technique, that is an adapted Osgood's Sematic Differential
Technique, for use in the exploration of participants’ perceptions of entrepreneurial
characteristics. This technique could represent a useful assessment technique for
appraising participants’ attitudes to themselves as entrepreneurs and any changes
over the duration of a training course in participants’ identification with entrepreneurial
characteristic. Although, this technique would require self assessments, it could
be used to establish the conditions for the development of entrepreneurial characteristics
and explore questions of whether entrepreneurial characteristics may be developed.
Despite methodological limitations, the reported study lends support to the thesis
that many entrepreneurial characteristics may be developed over the duration of enterprise
training courses in the view of participants. |
