Abstract: Although competence is a central concept in the field of entrepreneurship, research has rarely examined this concept in the field of entrepreneurship education. That is, studies on students' entrepreneurial competences in developing a business plan are scarce. Therefore, the goal of this article is to investigate the effects of two business plan programmes (real and fictitious) on the entrepreneurial competences of management students. The results indicate that the two pedagogies positively influence entrepreneurial competences. However, no significant differences exist between the two teaching protocols.

Keywords: student learning; pereceived competence; entrepreneurship education; business plan pedagogies; Johannisson's taxonomy; small business; small firms; entrepreneurial competences; business plans; management students; higher education; teaching protocols.
