Abstract

The Entrepreneurship Olympiad is one of the most important educational events addressed to secondary school students. The topics of this contest concern both general aspects of entrepreneurship as well as a number of issues in the field of marketing, management, capital markets or business ethics. The purpose of this paper is to assess the topics of particular editions of the Entrepreneurship Olympiad. This assessment was made in the context of educational need and economics challenges encountered by young people in their adulthood. The analysis included programmes of each edition of the Olympiad, lists of recommended literature, as well as test questions and tasks for participants. On this basis, it can be concluded that the contest issues included both relevant and current problems in the field of entrepreneurship, as well as some content of limited usefulness for young people. The authors postulate to eliminate such content from the future editions of the Olympiad, which should lead to increased interest of potential participant in this interesting educational project.
