This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between creativity and innovation on entrepreneurship development. Before doing so, we marry the insights of several pieces of works of literature on creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship stemming from Joseph Schumpeter's perspectives, theory, and research on innovation and entrepreneurship development. A survey design was adopted for the study. A valid sample of 257 impacted the study using Yemane sample size determination formulae. The research employed the Ordinary Least Square method and ANOVA Test for data analysis. In this study, we accept hypotheses H2 and H5 due to their significant and mutual relationship on the measured variable whereas H1, H3, and H4 were not accepted owing to their insignificant impact on the independent variable (entrepreneurship development). The most significant variables in this research are technological advancement and strategy. The findings of this research are quite different from the influential factors (Ali Al Qudah 2018). The two measured significant variables can then be considered as major factors or requirements for innovation and the success of a country's entrepreneurship development. Having established this fact is a call on policy support and framework-specific not only for Nigeria but to any other country which is striving to achieve economic success. Interestingly, the matrix analysis established a strong relationship between creative thinking and innovative ability, as well as technological advancement although was negatively estimated on entrepreneurship development. This indicates that technological advancement is support for creativity and innovation. However, its direct effect on entrepreneurship development was not significantly estimated. This can further be investigated to ascertain reality. Therefore, this is a call on policy support and
In recent times, the emergence of knowledge and its application is fundamental to success and failure, for individuals, societies, business and corporate governance. Therefore, there is the neeed to tap up knowledge, disseminate and use for gaining a competitive advantage, despite the existing difficulties. Hence, having a pre-requisite knowledge on staff recruitment quality, employee's behavior to change management, inadvertent tacit knowledge, and knowledge update programs and their application will help determine the success of KM implementation in companies. In the process of KM implementation, some of the constraining factors are more general and have consequences on the knowledge management implementation process. However, enhancing and sustaining a competitive advantage and developing further innovative business strategies through the knowledge management implementation process is a means to grow companies, and achieve economic prosperity. This study examines the barriers to knowledge management implementation (KMI) and how they impact the implementation process in ten (10) companies in Ghana. The investigation was conducted using a survey design, which used valid sample adequacy of 295 respondents. Multiple linear regression model and ANOVA tests were applied. Our findings discovered a linked and aggregated impacts on the in dependent variable. The study revealed that staff recruitment quality and knowledge update programs have direct and positive effect on the KM implementation process (see figure 1). However, individual's inadvertent tacit knowledge and individual's resistance to change management were not statistically significant on the knowledge implementation process (see figure 1). Hence, companies must see staff recruitment quality, resistance to change management, inadvertent tacit knowledge, and knowledge update programs as variables with either positive or negative impact on KM implementation in businesses. Findings add to existing information in the fields of business and industrial management. We conclude that
