This research investigates the inclination towards entrepreneurship among university students in Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University and Imo State University, Owerri using a survey design and a randomly drawn sample of 90 respondents. A two-part, twelve-item questionnaire based on the Likert scale was used to generate primary data for the research. The reliability of the instrument was tested using the Chronbach alpha and a reliability value of 0.84 was obtained. Two hypotheses were tested using z-test statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The result indicated that entrepreneurship education is a precursor of entrepreneurial inclination and that both male and female undergraduates in business-related courses are inclined to self-employment. Based on the research findings, it was recommended that entrepreneurship education should be encouraged in Nigerian universities to serve as a catalyst for self-employment amongst graduates.

The study became necessary following the fact that E-commerce is changing all business functional areas and their important tasks all over the world. The study reviewed relevant theoretical and empirical literatures and is anchored on two theories. Technology, Organizational and Environmental Model (TOE model) and Resources-Based View Theory. The data used were generated from the selected small scale enterprises in Nnewi, Onitsha and Awka. The data generated were analyzed using percentage analysis while the hypotheses formulated were tested using Z-test statistics. The study found that business-to-customer (B2C) exerts significant effect on the performance of small scale enterprises. It also revealed that E-commerce adoption has significant effect on growth of small scale enterprises. It was recommended that small scale enterprises yet to adopt e-commerce technology should do so to remain competitive in their industries.
