Abstract

Entrepreneurial activities are fundamental for several segments of the economy. This study aims to investigate the discourse related to the effects of entrepreneurial skills using a literature review. The structure of the study is based on three themes formed by the content of the selected studies. The first theme concerns the areas in which entrepreneurs can make an impact using their skills. The second theme introduces additional areas in which entrepreneurial skills can also be useful. The third theme focuses on the teachability of entrepreneurial skills. Finally, the study summarises the most important messages of the literature and highlights the fact that supporting entrepreneurs is crucial for the economy, society, and other areas.
