Entrepreneurial Skills, Significant Differences between Serbian and German Entrepreneurs
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2013) Morales, Carlos E.; Feldman, Percy Marquina
An extensive literature review reveals various authors acknowledge skills have an impact on entrepreneurial success. However, a lack of consensus regarding the main skills an entrepreneur needs is apparent. In this study, a contribution is made to the debate with empirical data and analysis, in two steps: by testing mean differences and reducing data with a principal components analysis. A sample of 394 potential entrepreneurs was administered the SAT-ECENT questionnaire, testing four skills: readiness to change, learning capacity, impact on people, and stress tolerance. The questionnaires were administered in Serbia (n = 190) and in Germany (n = 204). In this paper, evidence about two main issues is presented: Entrepreneurial skills vary significantly across countries, and the skill tolerance to stress plays an important role in explaining the variance in the development of entrepreneurial skills in the two countries. Discussion is focused on the research implications and relevance of the findings as well as the practical implications for entrepreneurship promotion programs.

The Impact of Diversity in the Perception of Performance: A Case Study in Lima and Barcelona
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Feldman, Percy Marquina; Morales, Carlos E.
An exploratory and comparative study was developed in both Peru and in Spain with the intention of measuring the impact diversity has in the perception of performance. The variables used were tenure, gender, age, and diversity awareness. The study shows a relationship between the real degree of diversity within the company and the awareness of diversity. It seems that the greater the diversity, the greater the awareness of diversity. Moreover the research provides statistical evidence that the awareness of diversity can be better associated with the perception of performance in companies with high levels of diversity. However the chosen diverse variables, gender, age and tenure do not have a greater relationship with this perception of group performance. The research also suggests that the perception of the degree of diversity acts as a moderator in the performance of the group.
