Resumo(s)
In this paper we present a theoretical model of entrepreneurial potential. First, we highlight the relevance of individual factors on the
entrepreneurship process as they are possible to control and monitor by the entrepreneur. Next, we revise the literature on the main
characteristics of entrepreneurs, which are on the basis of the entrepreneurial potential model. Based on the literature, we then suggest
that entrepreneurial potential includes four main dimensions entrepreneurial motivations, psychological competencies, social
competencies, and management competencies. These major competences, in turn, are constituted by eleven specific competences: desire
for independence, economic motivation, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, vision, resource mobilization capacity, leadership capacity,
innovation capacity, emotional intelligence, resilience, communication and persuasion capacity, and network development capacity.
Finally, we discuss the importance of assessing entrepreneurial potential at universities and entrepreneurship centres.
