Abstract
This study utilizes data from 119 survey respondents to assess a set of previously published entrepreneurial competencies and how frequently they are used by entrepreneurs and employees. Three hypotheses are developed specifying expected differences between entrepreneurs and employees. We also take into account whether the entrepreneur or employee innovate on a daily or intermittent basis. Comparing these four groups we find partial support that entrepreneurs some of the competencies significantly more often than employees. Daily innovators also use some competencies more often than intermittent innovators. We also compare these four groups and find significant differences between them as well. This research contributes the first test of these competencies comparing entrepreneurs and employees and indicates that only certain competencies are unique to entrepreneurs.
