“…The positioning of the inquiry extends macroeconomic literature on the employment of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for entrepreneurial purposes, notably: emphasis on entrepreneurs that are continuously innovating because of evolving skills and financial resources (Best, 2015); the use of social media to promote entrepreneurship (Jones et al, 2015;McCann & Barlow, 2015;Wang, 2016); knowledge sharing in entrepreneurial success (Allen et al, 2016); the use of social entrepreneurship to drive technology (Mulloth et al, 2016); the creation and discovery of innovation opportunities (Wan et al, 2015;Hang et al, 2015); innovations in technology that are offering novel opportunities due to the roadmapping of patents (Jeong & Yoon, 2015); doing business avenues that are associated with an ageing population (Kohlbacher et al, 2015) on the one hand and emerging ecosystems on the other hand (Overholm, 2015); research collaborations (McKelveyet al, 2015) and scientific entrepreneurial business opportunities (Maine et al, 2015). Moreover, the present inquiry steers clear of the bulk of studies on the use of ICT for social change and development outcomes, notably: the distributional externalities of growing technologies (see Cozzens, 2011), especially in sustainable development (Alkemade & Surrs, 2012); the relevance of mobile phones in social outcomes (Brouwer & Brito, 2012;Islama & Meadeb, 2012;Mira & Dangersfield, 2012;Amankwah-Amoah, 2015Amankwah-Amoah & Sarpong, 2016) in both developed nations (Thakar, 2012) and developing (Sonne, 2012;Gupta & Jain, 2012) countries.…”
