摘要：Tacit knowledge is created in the mind as individual know-how and expressed as innovation. The process that facilitates the creation of individual know-how is entrepreneurship development. Entrepreneurial learning as a method of entrepreneurship development facilitates the creation of individual know-how better than entrepreneurship education as it is both experiential and socially interactive. Thus, entrepreneurial learning leverages innovation. Since today's society is technologically driven and the markets innovation conscious, there is therefore the need to have today's nascent (budding) entrepreneurs or protégés go through a specific and identifiable process that will enhance their tacit knowledge. This study theoretically provided a link between entrepreneurial learning and individual know-how. Empirically, the study investigated the relationship between tacit knowledge and the dimensions of entrepreneurship development. The survey data were collected from nascent (budding) entrepreneurs or protégés who are learning their chosen vocation in entrepreneurial learning oriented firms. The generated data were analysed using multiple regression. The result revealed that the dimensions of entrepreneurship development are significantly related to tacit knowledge. Consequently, concerted efforts should be directed towards using experts or network providers to develop the individual know-how of nascent (budding) entrepreneurs or protégés. This is to ensure that the nascent (budding) entrepreneurs or protégés have well developed tacit knowledge that will translate to innovative products and/or services in their chosen vocation
