description [...]the study argues that social capital itself is a critical conversion factor towards developing entrepreneurial capability. Central to this are a priori assumptions about economically disadvantaged populations and their symbiotic relationship with conflict, a phenomenon frequently exploited by armed groups with deviant agenda. [...]access to employment opportunities benefits disadvantaged populations, thereby plays a decisive role in conflict mitigation. Personality traits have a significant influence on SME performance through cognitive characteristics. Since entrepreneurial characteristics are considered a driver of a country’s economic development and performance, it is hoped that governments and sector associations implement suitable policies and incentives to develop an entrepreneurial culture among citizens.
