“…The challenge of micro-entrepreneur support lies in the development and enrichment of micro-entrepreneurs' abilities to advance their representation system and embrace new complexities. Several studies have demonstrated the centrality of micro-entrepreneurs' skills in microenterprise support (Loué and Baronet, 2015;Bayad et al, 2006;Loué and Laviolette, 2006;Lorrain, Belley, and Dussault, 1998). Nonetheless, given the current state of knowledge, we cannot model the micro-entrepreneur support process to ensure the success of these microenterprises.…”

“…Note that the theoretical guidelines formulated to define the skills required to become an entrepreneur (Loué and Baronet, 2015;Bayad et al, 2006;Loué and Laviolette, 2006;Lorrain et al, 1998) pertain to human resources management or behavioral skills. As a result, these guidelines largely ignore soft skills and the way they influence the development of the individual entrepreneur during the entrepreneurial project.…”

Purpose This study aims to propose a model of entrepreneurial microcredit support that could address the problem of entrepreneurial support provided by microfinance institutions. This objective is justified by the need to produce scientific knowledge that could be of use to practitioners and political decision-makers who formulate and implement strategies of social inclusion and poverty reduction. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a socio-constructivist research perspective. Social constructivism is a theoretical approach that posits that all social reality is constructed. In other words, individuals construct their knowledge of reality relative to their social setting. This justifies the use of the focus group to supplement and validate the data gathered in an individual interview. The socio-constructivist perspective allows us to better understand and develop knowledge based on the meaning that interviewees attribute to their experience. This perspective also justifies the choice of qualitative data collection method. The data were collected during semi-structured interviews. Findings Entrepreneurial microcredit support is distinguished from classic entrepreneurial support because it places the individual at the center of the process by emphasizing soft skills in the development of the entrepreneurial spirit. This approach engenders an efficient support process that comprises three main steps: determination of entrepreneurial potential, empowerment and reinforcement of autonomy and acquisition of managerial skills. The efficiency stems from the fact that the time factor is not a constraint in the entrepreneurial microcredit support process and from the relationship of proximity and trust between the credit agent and the micro-entrepreneur. Originality/value To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper to deal with the entrepreneurial microcredit support, which is completely different from the classical entrepreneurial support because of the uniqueness of microfinance and micro-entrepreneurs. The model clearly reveals that the support for the development of the skills required to successfully run a microenterprise is provided based on a socio-constructivist approach in which the micro-entrepreneur is the main actor in the construction of “mobilized knowledge” required to nurture promoters’ entrepreneurial spirit. Consideration of soft skills in a socio-constructivist perspective is, therefore, indispensable for entrepreneurial development.

“…With regard to the study conducted by Loué and Baronet [25], which aims at preparing an entrepreneur's dictionary of competencies, the adopted methodology was initiated by a review of literature on the subject, so as to suggest a preliminary set of theoretical competencies for the entrepreneur. Then, a first list of competencies was presented to a sample of entrepreneurs for approval, and that is through a set of qualitative interviews and subsequently via a quantitative questioning in order to end with a significant sample.…”

This review paper fits in the context of the adequate matching of training to employment, which is one of the main challenges that universities around the world strive to meet. In higher education, the revision of curricula necessitates a return to the skills required by the labor market to train skilled labors.In this research, we started with the presentation of the conceptual framework. Then we quoted different currents that discussed the problematic of the job training match from various perspectives. We proceeded to choose some studies that have attempted to remedy this problem by adopting the competency-based approach that involves the referential line. This approach has as a main characteristic the attainment of the match between training and employment. Therefore, it is a relevant solution for this problem. We scrutinized the selected studies, presenting their objectives, methodologies and results, and we provided our own analysis. Then, we focused on the Moroccan context through observations and studies already conducted. And finally, we introduced the problematic of our future project.

“…Those two stages of BD are especially challenging for start-ups having limited resources, funding, and market power, since these limitations may preclude them from conducting BD in a separate organisational unit (Kind and Knyphausen-Aufseß, 2007;Lorenzi and Sørensen, 2014;Daubenfeld et al, 2014). A start-up's IBD and FBD are linked to entrepreneurial competences (Loué and Baronet, 2012) and the ability to develop and renew the business model (BM), open innovation (OI), and knowledge management (KM). During the IBD, start-ups design their first BM, mobilise external stakeholders through the OI outside-in process, and capture knowledge modules through compositeness.…”

In a technological spin-off, initial and further business development is a two-stage challenge of survival and growth. Spin-offs' business development relies on the design and renewal of an adequate business model, effective open innovation, and advanced knowledge management. This study describes the initial and further business development of a successful spin-off, MEMS&Co, through a longitudinal case study. The business model benefited from specific revenue/investments streams from clients and was subsequently supplemented by new business models in novel applications. Open innovation offered a unique outside-in process from universities, suppliers, and research centres and then transformed into an advanced new process. Knowledge management focused on cross-technical knowledge modularity and subsequently on knowledge recombination.
