An Exploration of Factors Influencing the Adoption of Ict Enabled Entrepreneurship Applications in Namibian Rural Communities
Kamutuezu et al. Adoption of Rural Entrepreneurship Digital Services in Namibia AN EXPLORATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ADOPTION OF ICT ENABLED ENTREPRENEURSHIP APPLICATIONS IN NAMIBIAN RURAL COMMUNITIES Elizabeth Ujarura Kamutuezu, Namibia University of Science and Technology, [email protected] Heike Winschiers-Theophilus, Namibia University of Science and Technology, [email protected] Anicia Peters, University of Namibia, [email protected] Abstract: Digital services have the potential to improve rural entrepreneurs’ access to wider markets and increase their competitiveness among other benefits. Moreover, during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in which movement and physical contacts have been limited, businesses relied much on digital services. However, many Namibian rural entrepreneurs have not been able to use digital services to maintain their livelihood. Therefore, this study investigated the factors affecting the adoption of ICT enabled services by rural entrepreneurs. The study applied a cross-sectional survey of 77 respondents comprising 14 rural entrepreneurs and 63 rural community members from four sites. It was found that the five main factors affecting the adoption of digital services by rural entrepreneurs are a lack of awareness of digital services, electricity, skills to navigate smart devices, high cost of both devices and mobile internet and cybercrime. We recommend a tailor-made training program for rural entrepreneurs which includes raising awareness of digital services and associated benefits, capacity building on digital skills and best practice for cybersecurity. In addition, we propose that the Namibian Government should enhance digital inclusion through a policy initiative to reduce the cost to make both data and smart devices affordable for the poor and rural communities. -
