dc.description.abstractThe premise that entrepreneurship is linked to economic growth finds its most immediate foundation in simple intuition, common sense and pure economic observation. With technological change and the intensified global competition, the assumption that fostering entrepreneurship means fostering a country's competitiveness today appears more valid than ever before. This thematic study analyses the role of entrepreneurial activity for adjustments on the process of structural change in Nigeria drawing on the accelerated economic transformation as a historical framework Using multiple regression and relying on macroeconomic indicators between 1989 and 2012, the current study find that increase in manufacturing firm entry has positive and significant impact on gross domestic product. Industry capacity utilization also emerges as a good predictor for growth of increasing manufacturing entrepreneurial participation but not with growth in manufacturing GDP. The result of the study has economic implications for the continuous renewal of macroeconomic strategies aimed at transforming entrepreneurial activity into growth.
