Book Synopsis Entrepreneurship and the Informal Sector by : Nnamdi O. Madichier
Download or read book Entrepreneurship and the Informal Sector written by Nnamdi O. Madichier and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-26 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the ongoing discussion around entrepreneurship in Africa and how it can be made more sustainable. The chapters included highlight the need to consider the grey area between private and public sector dichotomy, which has been the focus of previous research efforts. The contributors to this book offer an intersectional view of entrepreneurship and widen the lens of inquiry to include informal sectors in discussions pertaining to innovation in business. The individual chapters consider economic and sociocultural contexts, the role of gender, the effect of militancy on entrepreneurship and informal small and medium enterprises. By doing so, this book argues that the neglect accorded to the informal and self-employment sectors may have hampered African business development in various ways. This book is a significant new contribution to studying informality in relation to business and entrepreneurship. It will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of business, economics, politics, sociology, public policy, and development studies. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of African Business.

Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship has become a veritable tool for economic development. It plays a crucial role in creating jobs, reducing poverty, increasing competition and pomoting innovations. Nigeria is endowed with abundant human and material resources that can be used to build a strong, virile and prosperous economy. There are bountiful opportunities for entrepreneurship development especially through micro and small business activities. But unfortunately entrepreneurship development has been marred with series of problems. There are several factors militating against entrepreneurial activities which include lack of accessibility for finance for business start up, inadequate managerial and technical knowledge for sustaining the business, weak and inadequate infrastructural facilities, lack of government support and inconsistency of policies for entrepreneurial development. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify and examine factors influencing entrepreneurship development at both individual and aggregate levels in Nigeria.

This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Economics - Job market economics, grade: A, University of Calabar (Faculty of Arts & Social Science Education), course: The Structure and Organization of Social Studies and New Education Initiatives, language: English, abstract: This paper explores the effectiveness of entrepreneurship in job creation, hence, underlining the importance of the MSMEs sub-sector in the socioeconomic development of the Nigerian economy. Nowadays, the burden of job creation is not solely placed on the shoulders of the government alone but, has become a joint-venture effort between the public and private sectors. On this premise, the paper seeks an enduring answer to this prevalent phenomenon in entrepreneurship development. So, the paper is divided into subheadings, covering the introduction, conceptual explications, theoretical discourse on MSMEs as the driving force of socioeconomic development, and the role of entrepreneurship in the socioeconomic development of Nigeria. The paper concludes by noting that, the transformation of Nigeria's education system into entrepreneurial-based is a way of empowering the young generations with practical skills that could help them become self-reliant (self-employed), thus reducing the increasing social vices and consequences of unemployment. Among others, it was recommended to incorporate entrepreneurship in our school curriculum where vocational subjects would become compulsory right from Upper Basic Education level through tertiary education level to train, prepare, and develop the economic mindset of the younger generations and decrease the high level of unemployment.

This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan Africa remains one of the poorest and least industrialized regions in the world. The reasons for the poor performance of the African nation have ranged from external shocks, underdevelopment of the private sector to flawed domestic policies. The private sector which includes Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) constitutes the most feasible vehicle for self-sustaining industrial development from experiences especially in developed countries. SMEs indeed possess enormous capability to grow an indigenous enterprise culture more than any other strategy. From all accounts, SMEs represent the sub-sector of special focus in any meaningful economic restructuring programme that targets poverty alleviation, employment generation, food security, rapid industrialization and reversing rural-urban migration. Strengthening the private sector is thus a major priority for governments in any assistance strategy. Although Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer, petroleum production and consumption has probably brought out the best and worst of modern civilization in the country; petroleum has contributed enormously to the country's economic growth, but it has also resulted in the neglect of various other economic sectors and has had profound adverse impact on the Nigerian SME sector in particular. Despite many development activities implemented in the past and potential opportunities available in Nigeria, the Nigerian economy at present is undergoing severe difficulties. Declining employment opportunities, a deteriorating situation of the infrastructure facilities, and increasing poverty have all worked together to constitute difficulties to the Nigerian economy. It is in this context that the SME sector can find its priority position in the development of the economy to strengthen a sustainable economic growth of the Nigerian nation. The attitudes towards the SME sector and entrepreneurship in Nigeria is disappointing. Consequently, the future of many SMEs in Nigeria remains bleak, these firms continue to function in an unfavourable environment. The reality is that Nigeria lacks a comprehensive and effective strategy document for entrepreneurship practice and policy. Nigerian SMEs are not as innovative or productive when compared with SMEs in other countries. Nigeria lags behind top performing countries in generating and sustaining high-growth businesses and their involvement in export-oriented products and services is insignificant on a global scale when one considers the country's export-output against its vast human and natural resources. Nigeria boasts of a variety of policy initiatives, which have thus far failed to achieve any real or meaningful change in the sector. The Nigerian government has danced to the beat of the same senseless proverbial drum for the past six decades. A large share of government support for SMEs and entrepreneurs is provided through theoretical incentives that have so far failed to be realized rather than targeted practical programmes. The problem is also exacerbated by the absence of good practices in entrepreneurship education across schools and universities. There is a dearth of best practice tools for entrepreneurial experiential learning in schools and universities and there is little support for developing entrepreneurial mindset and skills in the vocational education system. Co-ordination of policy vis a vis Nigerian female entrepreneurship also requires improvement. There are inequalities which affect women's entrepreneurship activities. Successive Nigerian governments have failed to advance the status of women and address these inequalities. There is a need to introduce a nuanced approach in line with 21st Century thinking to address some of the issues faced by the sector.

Book Synopsis Entrepreneurship as a Driver of Economic Growth by : Adesoji Farayibi
Download or read book Entrepreneurship as a Driver of Economic Growth written by Adesoji Farayibi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides an econometric analysis of the role of entrepreneurship in economic growth in Nigeria. The study also assesses the areas where the country has developed enterprise and innovations. Findings from empirical analysis confirm the roles of entrepreneurs as good drivers of economic growth in the country. Specifically, results reveal that credit to SMEs is statistically significant in the determination of economic growth, implying that increase in entrepreneurial financing has significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria. Particularly, the increase in the operations and activities of SMEs in Nigeria remains indispensable to the pursuit of economic growth and development as a nation. However, the major hindrance inhibiting entrepreneurship as a growth driver in Nigeria include; poor infrastructural facilities, inadequate start-up process, financial management problems, lack of strategic planning and other socio-cultural problems. The study recommends building an in-country entrepreneurial capacity by incorporating requisite enterprise trainings and development progammes into the nation's education system at all levels. Also, government, banking institutions and the organized private sector should increase financial support for entrepreneurial oriented initiatives.
