Abstract
Entrepreneurship plays a significant role in national economies around the world, including the Republic of Zimbabwe, which has largely focused on the socio-economic devolution program. The necessity for entrepreneurship and policymakers around the world currently is to advance the quality of the entrepreneurship outcomes rather than just increase the number of entrepreneurs.
