The Use of Technology to Provide Training for Microentrepreneurs in Emerging Economies

This review explores the impact of using technology to provide training for microentrepreneurs in emerging economies, focusing on different training models and their potential to improve business performance. This review analyses the barriers faced by microentrepreneurs in developing countries due to gaps in infrastructure and digital access, as well as the limitations of technology in providing training. In addition, it examines how theoretically different settings might influence the adoption and influence of digital training. Findings reveal that online training tends to have limited positive effects on business performance, largely due to low digital literacy levels among microentrepreneurs. Due to economic and social constraints, female and rural microentrepreneurs are less likely to adopt digital technologies, limiting the impact of digital training on the most vulnerable microentrepreneurs.
