Popis: | The success of entrepreneurship practice largely depends on the opportunities provided by an environment and the intuition and innovativeness of the enterprising individuals to leverage on the opportunities. The emerging information and communication technologies (ICT) in Nigeria brought about arrays of opportunities for ICT entrepreneurship practice in the country. Conscientious examination of the dimensional exploration of the information-driven technologies for economic activities among the enterprising individuals revealed extensive exploitation for fast-tracking online businesses and merchandising of ICT resources. Socioeconomic impacts of the ICT entrepreneurship thus range through increased employment opportunity in the informal sector to satisfaction of basic needs of such employees. The need to strengthen the ICT sector through enabling policy for economic growth of the micro, small and medium entrepreneurs is recommended. |
