The development of managerial competencies is an
individual, multistage and complex process. Not everyone
has the aptitude and ability to be a competent manager, but
many skills associated with this function can be improved
and developed with help of personal or general training.
The effectiveness of developing managerial competencies
depends on many factors, among others: individual predispositions,
attitude towards personal development, type and
quality of experience and the environment in which they are
formed. Those managers who set up their own businesses
are subject to specific verification by the market. Only some
of them manage to get through the first, most difficult step
associated with starting a business. The development of their
own business model is usually a risky business, but also an
excellent way to gain experience and competences, so useful
in the course of work of managers. To meet the needs of
people wishing to start their own business, Polish government
has included in the Innovative Economy Operational
Programme the measures for development of business incubators,
which tasks include, among others, comprehensive
support for young people starting businesses and testing
their business ideas in operating at universities – Academic
Incubators of Entrepreneurship. The activities of these units
are focused primarily on the development of managerial
skills of young people in developing their own businesses
inside incubators, and also serving as organizational and
even financial support in matters relating to accounting,
marketing, administrative support, offices etc.
