Paths of Enterprise

While small-scale enterprise has expanded rapidly in recent years the way ahead looks uncertain. Drawing together recent research and thinking on small business activities from several disciplines, this book gives a comprehensive picture of the current situation and assesses the future. It evaluates the impact of such diverse influences as technological innovation, demographic change, changes in organization of work, banking practices and government policies. As the environment for small businesses looks increasingly hostile, home-based working, franchising, the high-tech small firm, women-owned businesses and ethnic businesses are just some of the small enterprises whose futures are discussed.Curran, James is the author of 'Paths of Enterprise', published 1991 under ISBN 9780415057899 and ISBN 0415057892.
