Abstract
This paper builds on a model of opportunity recognition, presenting findings from an exploratory study of four Nigerian entrepreneurs who all started their business as young people. Their narratives, enhanced by the inclusion of significant events derived through the critical incident technique, provide useful insights into their entrepreneurial career motivation, decisions, behaviour and patterns. Implications are drawn for further research, and the development of young entrepreneurs.
