Stimulating youth entrepreneurship in the public sector’s organizations

Abstract

Abstract
An entrepreneurial education and work culture brings changes in the relation between the public sector’s organizations and
its interested parties. More precisely, it is a question of changing managerial and organizational education practices towards
self-direction, innovativeness, flexibility and responsibility. Understanding how public sector’s organizations operate in an
entrepreneurial manner is also helpful for supporting growth within the business community. This article aims at presenting a
framework on young people’s possibilities of becoming successful entrepreneurs within the public sector’s organizations,
showing a literature review that concentrates on the entrepreneurship subject, with focus on youth and the public sector’s
field. The results are the research made by using studies on this subject, thus leading to a proper use of entrepreneurial
means, knowledge and start-up activities that allow an evolved education, self-responsibility and autonomy. We will see that
the entrepreneurship concept has been expanded and a strong tendency is in favor of placing entrepreneurship in the center
of attention, being regarded as natural in more contexts than the economic one. The wide understanding aims at developing
abilities – power of initiative, energy, creativity, cooperation and responsibility, whereas the narrow understanding is more
aimed at students obtaining business and self-engaging knowledge regarding personal growth activities.
