Abstract

This chapter examines the three dimensions encompassed by the concept of competencies: competencies as the idiosyncratic mixture of resources or capabilities of the firm (RBV); specific competencies of each profession (HRM); and generic competencies whose value has been highlighted by sociologists and education specialists. Within this set of competencies, entrepreneurship is a key competency that allows people to organize, coordinate, and guide others. At the same time, entrepreneurship is also one of the characteristics that defines a profession. The main aim of this chapter is to highlight the importance of generic competencies and the benefits of fostering the acquisition of generic competencies in higher education programmes.
