Competency is a term used for specific skills to manage a certain assignment/work with proper knowledge and experience. Management competencies in similar way mean the ability to accomplish or manage certain assignment.

The findings shows that the most of the parameters of competencies of the managers of the micro enterprises are rated very high. The parameters book-keeping/accounting and tax planning are rated high and moderate competencies to run a business.
