Abstract

The success rate of entrepreneurs is very subjective and objective in nature because of the parameter to measure success is contentious. Literally, studies have argued for and against the relationship between demographic factors and entrepreneurs’ performance at their enterprises but there is no consensus among scholars on the specific determinants of entrepreneurs’ success. In order to explore on these controversies, this study was guided by human capital theory. Secondary information through extensive literature review was carried out by the researcher, while content analysis was utilised to explain the phenomena understudy. Thus, the finding is inconclusive, therefore future empirical studies are recommended to investigate the relationship between education, training, and experience on entrepreneurial success.
