entrepreneurs, a set of qualities has been created and developed by a behavioral
scientist and is collectively called as Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies
(PECs). A lot of studies have been made to characterize entrepreneurial
personalities and even though there is no particular set of traits that can assure
success, some identified behaviors are found common in most successful
entrepreneurs. A well-known research on human behavior is done by McClelland
and McBer and is able to identify 10 behavioral patterns grouped into three general
clusters: the achievement, planning and power clusters.
The entrepreneurial qualities, more known as the Personal Entrepreneurial
Competencies (PECs) are as follows:
1. Opportunity Seeking
2. Persistence
3. Commitment to Work Contract
4. Risk-taking
5. Demand for Efficiency and Quality
6. Goad Setting
7. Information Seeking
8. Systematic Planning and Monitoring
9. Persuasion and Networking
10.Self-Confidence
ACHIEVEMENT CLUSTER
OPPORTUNITY SEEKING is being active in finding openings
in the environment which can be used in different ways to
start a business, to create a new market or to improve
business operations. Opportunity seeking is what enables an
entrepreneur to act and grab new business opportunities
even in the most problematic and hopeless situations.
PERSISTENCE is doing something continuously
even though other people say that you will not
succeed or that you are just wasting your time and
effort. It is doing something over and over again until
you get what you think you deserve. It means
standing up straight and not giving up even during
the hardest times when you are trying to do
something new or something difficult.
Opportunity Seeking

AL_ENTREPRENEURIAL_COMPETENCIES
Persistence

COMMITMENT TO WORK CONTRACT is the state of
giving much time and attention to something because you
believe it is right and important. Commitment comes with
a personal value, it is what a person truly believes and
considered very important. In terms of being committed
to work, once a person accepts a job, he should agree to
take full responsibility and have the job done efficiently to
create a delighted customer. Commitment is being able
to meet the deadline.
RISK-TAKING means taking the chances to do
something which is out of your comfort zone. It
may also imply doing something that can result
in anything unpleasant or dangerous. The three
kinds of risk-taking behaviors are as follows:
a. High risk-taking is doing something
risky without even checking what are
the possible results of such action and
without calculating the probable
losses that may be incurred after the
action has been taken.
b. Low risk-taking is almost as not taking
risk or avoiding anything difficult or
anything which may have unpleasant
or dangerous results.
c. Moderate risk-taking is carefully calculating all the chances before doing
something difficult or something which may have unpleasant or
dangerous results, thus reduces possible negative results by making the
most out of the positive possibilities.
DEMAND FOR EFFICIENCY and QUALITY is a good entrepreneur demands
quality and efficiency not only from himself but also from her workers and suppliers.
A successful entrepreneur demands quality standards and cannot stand a bad
performance from people he is working with.
Quality is the standard that customers seek
when buying a product or receiving a service.
Efficiency is the ability of an entrepreneur and its
staffs to work well without error or without
wasting time, money and energy. Having
demands for efficiency and quality is a normal
occurrence in any business. They often set a
high standard of excellence to fulfill the needs
of the customers.

PLANNING CLUSTER
INFORMATION SEEKING is the behavior of gathering information from relevant
sources. Information-seeking means an entrepreneur must always be ready to
seek useful information from persons related to his business including clients,
suppliers, and competitors through contacts or
information networks. An entrepreneur must also be
open to the idea of expert consultation for business
and technical assistance. Feedback is important to
the entrepreneur; he seeks direct response for his
performance and only acknowledges accurate and
relevant data on the information he gets.
Entrepreneurs often deal with a variety of changes,
take notes on any management weaknesses and try
to find immediate feedback on their performance
(Calvin, 2008).
An entrepreneur is a GOAL ORIENTED individual who
knows how to set specific, measurable, attainable,
realistic and time-bound (SMART) goals. He plans his
every action and carefully makes decisions based on
where he wants to go. He is competitive in a positive
way and loves the idea of winning through hard work
and perseverance.
SYSTEMATIC
PLANNING AND MONITORING: Entrepreneurs who
develop and use logical, step-by-step plans to reach
their goals. He plans by breaking large tasks down into
small one and puts time limits against them. They
monitor progress towards goals and to alter strategies
when necessary.
POWER CLUSTER
PERSUASION AND NETWORKING:
Entrepreneurs know how to use the right
strategies to influence or persuade other people.
It’s something that helps you connect with the
people around you. They’re respected, well-liked
and able to talk about their accomplishments,
goals and ideas in a way that gets those around
them excited and passionate as well.

LEARNING OUTCOME 2.2
Do an oral presentation on the importance of PECs using productivity
and presentation tools.
Definition of Terms
Cut – is a command that allows you to cut out a selection of text or other data and
save it to the clipboard.
Copy - refers to duplicating a section of a document and placing it in a clipboard.
Save is the process of writing data to a storage medium such as a floppy disk, USB
flash drive or hard drive.
Slides is a single page or image shown in a slideshow.

PowerPoint helps us to think of each projected page as a “slide” in a slideshow.
But just as someone else’s home movies can be thoroughly uninteresting if they’re
grainy, poor in quality, and irrelevant. PowerPoint Slides that are too flashy,
cluttered, meaningless or poorly designed can quickly turn a darkened room full or
smart people into a mere gathering of snoozers. As you design your slides,
consider these factors:
 Templates: Eventhough PowerPoint helps you design your slides, don’t
assume that someone else’s template will always match your needs. Take
charge of slide design by considering first the most efficient way to transmit
the necessary information.
 Simplicity: Keep slides as simple and uncluttered as possible, and if the
information must be complex, prioritize it for audience as you present it (for
example: if presenting a ten-column table, direct your audience to the most
significant columns). Offer only one major point per illustration.
 Titles: Gives most slides titles, with a font size at least 36 points, and body
text with a font size of at least 24 points. If you need to cite a source of
information, include the citation in a smaller font size at the bottom of your
slide.
 Rule of 8s. Apply the “rule of 8”. This include no more than 8 words per
line and 8 lines per slide.
 Bullets: When using bulleted lists in slides, present each bulleted line in
parallel fashion – example: if the first line is a fragment, the others should
be as well; if the first line opens with a verb, so should the others.
 Design: Design slides so that their longest dimension is horizontal rather
than vertical. Use both uppercase and lowercase letters and orient pictures
left to right. Avoid the overuse of animations and transitions which can be
distracting and downright silly.
 Color: Make sure the color for both the background and text are highly
readable, especially under less than optimal lighting conditions.
 Images: When possible, replace words with images. Use images in
particular when presenting data, demonstrating trends, simplifying complex
issues and visualizing abstractions.
 Spelling: Spelling does count, and you can’t rely on PowerPoint to be an
effective proofreader.

LEARNING COMPETENCY 2.3
Use different dynamic computer applications and editing tools in
making infographics on PECs.
Infographics – is a visualization of data or ideas that tries to convey complex
information to an audience in a manner that can be quickly
consumed and easily understood.
SmartArt graphic – is a way to turn ordinary text into something more visually
appealing, make information easier to interpret and understand and
can be used to create organizational chart, a decision tree, a pyramid
or matrix structure, illustrate steps in a process or display events in
a timeline.
Definition of Terms

What is an Infographics?
Infographics is defined as a visualization of data or ideas that tries to convey
complex information to an audience in a manner that can be quickly consumed
and easily understood (Smiciklas, 2012). Infographics are essentially visual
representations of information. They are used to tell stories, convey ideas or
explore issues through a range of different graphics. The use of infographics and
other data visualizations have become increasingly popular in the mainstream
media as well as blogs, personal websites and social media. They can be a useful
mechanism to display information in visual manner. There are many different ways
you can create these images, some of which use specialist software while others
make more creative use of software you may already frequently use like Microsoft
Word and Microsoft PowerPoint.
“The key to making information visual is to first have good information..”Alberto Cairo
To make an effective infographic should be well-designed, supported by data and
tell a story. Infographics are created for different purposes so whatever the
purpose of the infographic the following lists should be considered:
1. It tells a Story
An effective infographic not only conveys valuable
information in a convincing manner, it also narrates a
story worth telling.
Figure 2. It tells a Story
https://www.visme.co/wp-content/uploads

2. It takes your eyes on a Predefined Journey
The mark of a good infographics is its effectiveness in
communication a message. The example uses
everything at its disposal-from a harmonious color
combination with effective contrast to a clear storyline.
3. It is Well Structured
Organize your infographic into sections so it is easier to
read and scan. The example is neatly divided into
sections, making it extremely easy to understand and
digest the information presented
4. It sends one Key Message
The most effective infographics
implement everything at their disposal-
including design elements and text- to
send one key message. One way to
gauge whether your infographic meets
this criterion is to ask someone who
wasn’t involved in the
creation process to explain it
to you.
5. It is visually Appealing
Whether it’s a new website you’re launching or a series of charts
and graphs, presentation matters and, when used effectively,
can make your content all the more effective.

6. Use your Data Effectively
Handle information responsibly and give useful tips
based on wide agreed-upon facts.
There are no rules for making infographics and there is no set
formula for a successful infographic as it will depend on the
content, purpose and design of the infographic. As you begin to
make infographics you will develop your own style, you will realize the kind of
designs that you like and are happy to work with, and others that you don’t. If you
are new to making infographics start with something small and simple and over
time add in more features and design idea as you develop your skills.
