The results confirm that there are meaningful changes in the competency requirements linked to their preparedness for successful management of the respective company.

Agricultural enterprises are facing the significant pressure in order to decrease their cost of production, to increase performances and production quality, to the need swiftly react on the changes in external environment and to the introduction of new technologies and modern processing procedures. Furthermore, it is important for these enterprises to know the factors of their business success as well as the legislation, to follow the market tendencies which are linked to the specific forms of the supply/delivery relations, to know with whom to create the strategic alliances, as well as to form the networking with cooperating partners, in permanent way to develop modern managerial approaches and to deal with continuing education.
