Abstract

The role of entrepreneurs as change agents responsible for innovation and socio-economic growth in countries is well recognized by various authors (see Burns, 2007: 5 and Kirby, 2003: 32). However, Burns (2007: 12) also indicated that entrepreneurship is not a new concept and has been around for ages; a view supported by Kirby (2003: 9) who indicates that it is only recently — in the 1980s — that entrepreneurship really came to its own because of factors such as increased uncertainty leading to more innovation. This increased focus on innovation created various advantages for entrepreneurs such as improved knowledge and information communication technology, allowing them to improve their product and service offering locally and globally.
