Abstract

Regardless of the context, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) continued to encounter challenges that threaten their performance in terms of expanding customer bases as such; this paper investigates the effect of technopreneurship dimensions on the client's expansion of selected MSMEs in Lagos State, Nigeria. A survey research design was adopted and the population was comprised of 7,017 owners/managers from 6 purposively selected MSMEs technology hubs. A sample size of 475 owners/managers was determined using simple random sampling techniques adopted for the study. A validated and structured questionnaire was adopted for data collection after Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients were established. The findings revealed that the technopreneurship dimensions had a significant effect on client expansion with Adj.R2 = 0.424; F(5, 277) = 52.809, p
