Esuh Ossai-Igwe Lucky (PhD), Adebayo Isaiah Olusegun

Open access

The inconsistent use of SME and entrepreneurship in the field of entrepreneurial business
management has made the author to explore the discrepancy between SME and
entrepreneurship studies. As a result, the paper distinguishes between SME and
entrepreneurship by highlighting the similarities and differences between the two concepts. The
paper concludes that entrepreneurship differs from SME in that entrepreneurship is a process
leading to the creation of SMEs and business ventures while SME only represents firms or
businesses in small and medium sizes
