Entrepreneurship: "Traditionally the concept of entrepreneurship has been divided into three different forms which are self entrepreneurship, external entrepreneurship and internal entrepreneurship.
Self entrepreneurship means self guidance and independent decision making, power and responsibility. External entrepreneurship means to own and manage ones own firm. Internal entrepreneurship means organisation and its staff to act in an entrepreneurial way. If we understand entrepreneurship in this way it means that we all need to be entrepreneurs in order to be effective in our lives and to achieve good results in our working life as members of organisations.
The attitudes towards entrepreneurship seem to be rather good for developing further en-trepreneurship and entrepreneurial qualifications in Finland. Now it is time to look also at European dimensions of entrepreneurship and to promote entrepreneurial spirit."
To the project: "It has been fruitful and active co-operation between skilled partners in entrepreneurial spirit to increase interest towards entrepreneurships and firm establishment all over the Europe by offering a handy tool for it."
