This qualitative research provides a foundation for further research on entrepreneurial development and many other areas related to enterprise creation and development. The research could further refine the conceptual model on entrepreneurial capacity development for SMEs in the LDCs. The emphasis could be placed on cross business industries and the cultural settings of the case studies.
Further research methodology should focus on quantitative studies to analyse and test the conceptual model via survey questionnaires. This is because there is a lack of literature on how each variable and attribute relate to each other. Thus, it would be an interesting topic for in-depth studies to see the function of each attribute of ECB development in the local context. In other words, this concept can be understood as an exploration to see which factor during the interlock creates the most value to entrepreneurial enhancement for SMEs, regardless business industry. In doing this, the area of research should cover the following scope of exploration and statement of claims, which is perceived to significantly contribute to entrepreneurial capacity development and general competence development of SMEs.
