SUCCESS IN SOUTH AFRICA: A CASE STUDY OF THE GAUTENG PROVINCE
7. LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE RESEARCH
The main limitations for the study include time and resources. Future studies should conduct longitudinal studies to confirm, or otherwise, the longer-term determinants of youth entrepreneurship success. In addition, future
research should interrogate the effect of demographic characteristics on the training needs of youth entrepreneurs in addition to examining the phenomena in the different South African provinces.
