Abstract
This study analyses the extent to which facilitation of market linkages
and network opportunities through entrepreneurial knowledge and skills by the
cooperative societies might significantly impact the business success of
entrepreneurs in Bauchi metropolis. To achieve this, government should endeavor
to provide adequate infrastructural facilities and support for entrepreneurial
training as well as formulating fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies
conducive to the growth and development of the economy. A sample of 71
respondents was drawn from a population of 500 members of the three (3)
randomly selected cooperative societies in the Bauchi metropolis. The data
collected was analysed using descriptive statistics and regression with the
help of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). This paper believed that
the linkage and networking is very important to the entrepreneurs both new and
established and can positively impact on their performance, the linkage and
networking would also help increase an entrepreneur's legitimacy, which in turn
positively influences the firm's access to external financing. Therefore, the
paper recommended that the cooperative societies in Bauchi metropolis should be
positioned to provide value to their entrepreneur members to tap resources from
their external environment successfully to navigate market linkages and
networking opportunities.
