| Abstract: | Despite the wealth of programs employed by governments towards the small business sector, there is often little in the way of studies that systematically evaluate those programs. The authors believe that a major cause of this is a general lack of models that systematically explain what environmental factors influence small enterprise development. The paper addresses in part this issue and recommends the need for research to test the model. Small business development will be a major policy front through the 1990s because of the perceived role of small businesses in job creation. |
