Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the entrepreneurial mind set of indigenous Igbo entrepreneurs: Critical success factors. The study is largely conceptual and adopted a review of literature. From the review of extant literature, it found that Igbo entrepreneurs are visionary, enthusiastic and result driven. The Igbos are risk-takers and intelligent entrepreneurs, who are committed in totality to economic activities as their lineage hobby. More so, for the Igbos, entrepreneurial success is not just a choice but a must. These goes to show that it is in the nature of the Igbos to also embrace viable alternatives. Individualism in the Igbo world is an understanding conspicuous in property ownership, acquisitions, productions, exchange of goods and services. This shows that both in traditional and modern Igbo world, much focus are on the economic prospects of the individual within the context of the community
