Abstract: Due to the application of new technologies, changes in tasks and organisational structures, a shorter product lifetime cycle, and changing customer requirements of product and services, as well as liberalisation and globalisation, entrepreneurs in the small-scale sector are confronted with new qualification demands. The typical technical/scientific qualification has to be extended by interdisciplinary knowledge and skills, which enables creative problem solutions, cooperative social behaviour with leadership qualities and effective communication competencies, as well as a holistic view of technical problems.
