ENCISO-CONGOTE, Juan David. Entrepreneurship and the common good: complementary or exclusive aptitudes?. educ.educ. [online]. 2010, vol.13, n.1, pp.63-76. ISSN 0123-1294.

This study proposes a comparative analysis between the requirements involved in building aptitudes for entrepreneurship and those for job performance, according to the scenarios that serve as the context for each of them. In the case of job performance, the bureaucratic structure described by Max Weber is used as a point of reference. With respect to entrepreneurship, the roots are anthropological and human nature, regardless of the cultural or historical reference. These considerations provide a framework for reflecting on the conceptual and educational difficulties that hamper the construction of a more inclusive view of what is public and the commitment required of a professional to the search for the common good and, hence, the responsibility incumbent upon a college education to secure that commitment.

Palabras clave : Professional competence; professional training; active learnin; college teaching; social responsibility.
