Interrogating cluster entrepreneurship - the Nigerian artisanal experience
by Funmilayo Juliana Afolabi; Sanya Ojo
International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business (IJESB), Vol. 48, No. 4, 2023

Abstract: The artisanal entrepreneurial clusters are bounded enterprise spaces that facilitate the convergence of proximate businesses in the informal sector. These bounded spaces are governed by their own ethics and practices, which are underscored by the local tradition and customary ethos. Through a qualitative interview methodology, respondents' rational and non-rational perspectives are found to dictate entrepreneurial clusters' rituals and praxes. The rational and non-rational explanations include the cultural view of the entrepreneurs, which offer in-depth understanding of how people in particular setting interpret events such as the causes of accident in the workplace, competition pressure, sexual harassment, etc.
