Sažetak
This paper discusses the importance of entrepreneurial skills and competences in managing the educational institutions, with emphasis on primary educational institutions and entrepreneurial skills and competences of principals of these institutions. Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and living, which includes innovative, proactive and responsible acting, as well as the skill to cope with risk. It requires the ability to create something new, encourage change and look at problems from a different angle. Making decisions often entails risk, which one must know how to handle and to predict. These are the situations that a person who manages an educational institution encounters daily. Even though there is no requirement for formal education of principals of educational institutions, there is a need to introduce it, at least through informal forms of education and training. The aim of this paper is to investigate the importance of entrepreneurial behaviour in primary school management and point out the need for improvement of entrepreneurial competences of headmasters in successful performance of this function. Based on the results obtained through analysis of the GET (General Enterprising Tendency ) test, conducted among school headmasters from three Slavonian counties, information on the level of development of entrepreneurial competences of headmasters was obtained. Based on the above, recommendations on what can be done to influence the development of these competences are given.
