“…The results for entrepreneurial outcomes confirmed a positive and very strong relationship between entrepreneurial performance and both agricultural productivity and incomes. These findings are in agreement with the literature, also in an African context, with studies reporting a positive influence of agricultural entrepreneurial performance on productivity (Diochon et al, 2017;Kriese et al, 2021). The same can be attested for the increased incomes as an entrepreneurial outcome of agricultural entrepreneurship in Africa (Adeyanju et al, 2021;Dorsey, 1999;Ras and Vermeulen, 2009).…”

“…Other studies were not considered in this literature review either because they focussed on narrower research topics such as the efficacy of specific entrepreneurship programmes (Adeyanju et al, 2021), diversification and risk management (Little et al, 2001), specific pedagogies to foster innovation (Zossou et al, 2009), the impact of cell phones on social network dynamics (Mehta et al, 2011), the impact of social-grant dependency (Sinyolo et al, 2017) or the role of micro-franchise for the development of agricultural entrepreneurship (Diochon et al, 2017;Nukpezah and Blankson, 2017).…”

“…This seems a problematic assumption, because running even the smallest business calls for abilities, knowledge and competencies (Agyapong et al , 2011). Another issue is the evidence that microfinance may not reach the poorest of the poor (Mahmood et al , 2014; Diochon et al , 2016). In practice, it excludes the very poor from borrowing, failing to target the poorest, most needy applicants (Weiss et al , 2003; Chemin, 2008).…”

“…In addition, considering this support from franchisors provides security and safety perceptions to franchisees (Grace and Weaven, 2011), it is also important to understand the perception from microfranchisees related to this received support. Although the fact that the microfranchisee may be seen as a more autonomous and independent franchisee (Diochon et al, 2016), mainly to act locally in his/her business area, this franchisee still needs on-going business support from the franchisor (Kistruck et al, 2011;Hassan et al, 2016). Because microfranchises are smaller organisations than the traditional franchises, it might be expected that microfranchises face lower support from the franchisor.…”
