Micro-enterprise development in Third World countries
by Harry G Miller, David Clarke
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 5, No. 5, 1990

Abstract: The art and science of micro-enterprise development in developing countries need to be more than experimental or trial and error. This paper supposes that there are some factors in micro-enterprise development which can be enhanced through a more complete awareness of its dynamics and high learning processes. As the more elusive factors are identified and examined, the educational process can be applied to addressing and implementing change for local and regional private sector development. In other words, how micro-enterprises utilize their internal resources will determine their success in their economic marketplaces. The extent to which the cultural context of the environment and the level of economic pragmatism are addressed will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the effort to promote social and economic development.
