A Study on Human Capital as a New Factor of Production in Reshaping the Entrepreneurial Education

Abstract

According to nowadays Digital Era, companies need to focus more and more on their intangible assets and the new factors of production inorder to increase creativity and initiative. Thus, the article will focus on the scientific debate on human capital and entrepreneurship from the perspective of the knowledge-based economy theories. Furthermore, there will be explored the entrepreneurial behaviour and competences as part of the human capital, perceived as important intangible asset. The study will present an inventory of ideas on how the competencies (as part of human capital - HC) could support the entrepreneurs’ success. Based on a structured interview with trainers/teachers a weak perception about the “capital” concept will be shown, HC and its relationship with entrepreneurship. Then, there will be presented a bibliometric research on human capital entrepreneurship to discover the gaps and defining the state of the research.
