Abstract

This paper examines the knowledge needs of entrepreneurs in a regional context with particular emphasis on the information and communication technology (ICT) industry sector. The paper begins by clarifying and defining the basic concepts. This is followed by the introduction of the entrepreneurial fountain as a model of the entrepreneurial milieu and as a framework for examining factors that influence the expansion and contraction of knowledge and entrepreneurial activity. The role knowledge plays in entrepreneurial discovery and action is thus examined and the implications are examined. The paper ends with a set of conclusions and recommendations for future research.
