A Conceptual Approach to Competency Project Management of Mini- Companies in Economists

Abstract

Aim: To assess the theoretical treatment of acquisition and development of competency project management of mini-companies in economists.

Methods and techniques: Theoretical research methods were used to provide the rationale that helps reveal the gap existing in this area of knowledge.

Main results: Besides recognizing the priority of the Ecuadoran government to encourage mini-company project filing, emphasis was made on that it is also a responsibility of universities during professional education, so that economists can provide counseling, and be in charge of professional training. Accordingly, the recent literature was reviewed to assess the state of the art regarding this competency.

Conclusions: The complex character of competency-based education is explained in order to include competency project management of mini-companies in the curriculum of education in economics.
