Entrepreneurial competences from syntegrative perspective

Abstract

This article nuances a distinct approach for
entrepreneurial competences, key category in contemporary
education, which is addressed to an individual who can choose
himself and give meaning to his becoming by exploitation of
learning opportunities in different moments of the life. The
starting point is the holistic approach, as reflected by their
definition in “ Key Competences for Lifelong Learning – An
European Framework†from 2006, narrow in this case because it
does not sufficiently capture the perspective of becoming.
Personal meditations of professor Florin Felecanu who signals
that XXI century predicts a new holism,as syntegrative type,
have conducted the literature review to professor Stafford Beer
achievements fromManchester Business School, U.K.Amazing
discovery of syntegrative principles, basis of Syntegration®
method that prof.Beer has proposed to solvecomplex problems,
it caused transposition and connecting them to an educational
context that has becoming the main reference. The paper
presents a syntegrative model of entrepreneurial competences,
illustrated by a cube, perfect figure, specifically chosen to
involve components (knowledge, skills and attitudes) in a
syntegrative functionality, three by three. It aims to show that in
entrepreneurial competences training, three procurement
categories work simultaneously in several basic steps of
entrepreneurial process and can be common landmarks for
different types of education. Because this last consideration
were selected eight major stages of the entrepreneurial process 

and 12 types of acquisitions (four types of knowledge, four
types of skills and four type of attitudes) after recomandations of
2004 national curriculum for Entrepreneurial Education in
Romania high school, but also after 2006 “ Key Competences
for Lifelong Learning – An European Frameworkâ€. Those
correspond to the cube with 8 tops and 12 sides and all
participate equally and simultaneously to the formation of
entrepreneurial competences, necessary to start a business at any
opportune moment of life. The model can be adapted to other
types of competences, being a matrix of individual success,
possible todayor tomorrow.
