ANALYSIS OF ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCIES ON BUSINESS PERFORMANCE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE SHARING
Keywords:
entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial competence, knowledge sharingAbstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of entrepreneurial competence in business success through knowledge sharing. Research method: This study is a literature review using the PRISMA method. Relevant literature that meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria was selected from various international journals using ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, and other methods to ensure suitability with the research objectives, resulting in 53 pieces of literature as analysis material. The research results indicate that entrepreneurial competencies are developing rapidly through technological advancements and digitalization, further enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) findings in strengthening entrepreneurial competencies. Entrepreneurial competencies significantly improve company performance, with knowledge sharing serving as a mediating role. This study is expected to enrich the literature on entrepreneurship and its development in the 21st century. Further studies are hoped to develop an empirical model that quantitatively tests the mediating role of knowledge sharing.
