Description
This book discusses the formation of small businesses and the importance of regional economic development. It discusses the prerequisites for successful small business formation policies and questions the economic dependence on small businesses.
Drawing on studies and expertise from around the world, this book describes the transition from research to policy and covers the pre-requisites to successful new firm formation policies. At a time when a new firm formation is promoted by central and local government, business development agencies and the private sector, this book questions the economic dependence on small firms and explores the relevance of networking, information and advice.
