Small Business in Britain - New Labour and Entrepreneurship

Zusammenfassung The only book to focus on British entrepreneurship and small businesses under Labour from an academically rigorous and analytical perspective, this book covers: the nature of the Labour Government's policies for small firms: how far has Labour maintained the Conservative emphasis and how far has it provided a distinctive interpretation of its own? In what way does Labour's approach connect to its general economic and industrial policy? the way in which Labour has formed and implemented its small firms policy: to what extent has Labour maintained previous practices and what changes have been introduced into policy-making, stressing alternative themes? the impact on the small business constituency of Labour policy and practice since 1997: how distinctive does Labour's strategy and procedure appear to small business? This book is a must read for all economics, and business and management students interested in, or studying entrepreneurship. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction 1. The Small Business Groups 2.
