To what extent can governments supplement private venture
capitalists and stimulate the economy by providing money to new
entrepreneurs as well as existing enterprises? The UK's National
Enterprise Board (NEB) attempted to do just this, and whilst it
gained most publicity through its efforts to bail out ailing giants
such as British Leyland and Rolls Royce Aerospace, much of its
attention was actually directed to smaller ventures. Originally
published in 1988 Professor Kramer reports that the NEB's record of
success was surprisingly good, and that many flourishing
undertakings would not be in business today had it not been for the
NEB's efforts. The author goes further, and after discussing the
political and economic issues involved in according public aid to
private enterprises on a case by case basis, he argues that not
only should the UK revive its NEB, but that other countries,
notably the United States, could benefit by establishing their own
versions of it. Indeed, throughout, the author's perspective as an
outsider makes him peculiarly alive to the relevance of the UK
example to a whole range of international cases. As the first
scholarly, full-length study of the NEB, this book will be of value
to those interested in the relationships between venture
capitalists generally and the enterprises in which they take
equity. It will also interest those studying the relationship
between holding companies and their subsidiaries.
