Students’ interpersonal skills and attitudes towards the role of entrepreneurship in the market economy

Abstract

The market economy plays an important role in the modern world, i.e. the market economy in which decisions regarding the scope and method of the production are made by the economy entities (house--holds, farms, financial institutions, government) and which are guided by the so-called self-interest and act according to the principles of the rationality in the management. ‘Enterprising’ is one of the essential characteristics of the people who live and manage in the world, in the conditions of the mar-ket economy. In today's world, the economy entity involving the production and the exchange is run by a    number of entities competing with one another. Therefore, if the economy changes the qualities needed to survive in it must also change, not to mention the changes in the sphere of the abilities of be -ing successful. The basis for the preparation and decision-making about the principles, directions and pace of the long-term development of education dealing with entrepreneurship in the market economy was created due to the conducted diagnostic research among students. The results of which showed that there was the sufficient lack of knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship in the market economy. Choosing the young population as the target group for the investigation is justified by the role it plays in the society, and therefore, in the process of creating the entrepreneurial and innovative society.
