Strategic Evaluation of 5G Networks' Role in Facilitating Mobile Entrepreneurship Processes
Keywords:
5G networks, mobile entrepreneurship, innovation, technical challenges, social impactAbstract
This study aims to strategically evaluate the role of 5G networks in enhancing mobile entrepreneurship, focusing on the potential impacts, challenges, and opportunities that 5G technology brings to mobile entrepreneurs and their businesses. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews as the sole data collection method. Participants included a diverse group of mobile entrepreneurs, IT professionals, and policy makers, providing a broad perspective on the integration of 5G technology in mobile entrepreneurship. Four main themes were identified: the impact of 5G networks on mobile entrepreneurship, the effect of 5G on innovation and product development, technical and infrastructural challenges and barriers, and the social and cultural effects of 5G networks. Each theme comprised several sub-themes and associated concepts, highlighting the multifaceted role of 5G technology in mobile entrepreneurship. 5G networks hold significant potential to revolutionize mobile entrepreneurship by offering new opportunities for innovation, improving operational efficiencies, and enabling entrepreneurs to overcome traditional barriers. However, the successful adoption of 5G technology also requires addressing technical challenges and regulatory issues.
