to knowledge-driven economies. Nigeria has seemingly jumped on the bandwagon,
as national stakeholders are beginning to recognize the role of intellectual capital
as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth. This trend has become even more
prominent in light of the recent coronavirus pandemic and the continued resilience
of the knowledge economy amid the drastic decline in oil prices. At the center of this
renewed thirst for intellectual capital is the primary footstool of innovation − the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector.
For several years, SMEs have proven to be the lifeblood of the Nigerian economy.
According to business consultants PwC’s MSME Survey 2020, SMEs contribute a
whopping 49 percent to Nigeria’s GDP and account for about 99 percent of Nigeria’s
businesses. | | Del av verk: | WIPO Magazine 3/2021 |
