Using modern technologies, this article examines the link between ICT entrepreneurship and small business innovation. In particular, the authors develop a conceptual model arguing that regulatory environment on ICT entrepreneurship development influence small business innovation. The paper adds to existing body of knowledge on ICT entrepreneurship and provides bases for more informed decision by offering new constructs, a team-based entrepreneurship activities and experimental activities. We proposed a model of ICT entrepreneurship to form a richer theoretical framework that guides the understanding, explanation and prediction of innovativeness in ICT entrepreneurship.
