Abstract:
New information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly intelligent and user friendly. The achievements of web 2.0, the harbingers of web 3.0 and cloud computing dramatically change the game rules in each and every place where the internet and mobile technologies are exploited, in particular, in production and business. Nowadays, owing to the internet and mobile technologies the market entry threshold, investments and skills necessary to start up, survive and develop a business are less demanding for upcoming entrepreneurs than in the classic bricks-and-mortar production and business environments. Therefore, there are more and more entrepreneurs exceeding this threshold and starting up businesses in the cyberspace. This is a new generation of entrepreneurs whose main leverage are the new ICT, knowledge, and social networking. They significantly differ from their conventional counterparts for they are heavily oriented towards and focused on innovation, they are internet savvy and highly information literate, they have a global reach, their mind-sets are founded on self-reliance, cooperativeness, prosumerism, and risk taking, they are challenge driven, usually aware of social and environmental and ethical issues. In this paper we put forward the conjecture that the population of new generation entrepreneurs will be numerous, counted in hundreds of millions and in the incoming society will join or perhaps even take over the role of the present middle class that is now shrinking.
