Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to define a set of competences together with the desired level of mastering necessary for the manager of micro and small enterprises. Enterprises employing less than 50 employees in Poland constitute the majority of business entities, which is why they were focused on them. The premise for undertaking research is the growing problems of these entities resulting from the growing competition, not only national but also foreign, and often their low financial and human potential. There are no studies in the literature that would contain a specific set of all competencies necessary for the manager of micro enterprises and small enterprises together with the definition of the level at which each competency should be mastered. The article is based on qualitative research  focus group interviews (FGI).Two interviews were realized, one of them was attended by representatives of the world of science, the other one by the business practitioners. Such selected groups allowed to confront the scientific stand with real needs and achieve the assumed aim.
