THE culture of entrepreneurship and business practice still is not well developed among many Zambian citizens, laments Zambian Social- Economist and Communications Specialist Kelvin Chisanga.
Mr. Chisanga is worried that the noted regrettable approach can perhaps be strongly related to a cultural mind set of dependency, built up over time, and many citizens have and exercise a low propensity for taking up of risks in view of accruing varying compositions of benefits.
Chisanga explained that the noted less participation as undertaken from the broader economic profile, has given some resultant effects in low levels of entrepreneurial ability and business management competency among most micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Said Chisanga:”These low levels of entrepreneurial skill and management competency have also delivered very limited opportunities around the potential ability of most MSMEs which is seen to have grown beyond the establishment phase”.
Therefore, Chisanga holds a view that for MSMEs in the sector to edge and achieve sustainable qualitative growth in their endeavors, and for citizens to be oriented towards business.
Advised Chisanga: “There is a strong need to build up framework of entrepreneurial capacity through moderating a deliberate entrepreneurship development system which should firmly be imbedded with the wider SME policy structure and should have a greater cut to cross-over into educational reformation strategy as it should therefore mirror developing plan synergies between academia and industries”.
