This book, originally published in 1982, review the resurrection of
the small firm, partly by a multi-disciplined examination of the
existing literature on small and new firms and partly by reporting
the results of a study of firms new (in the early 1980s) to the
North East of England. Part 1 deals with the role of small firms as
sources of potential or actual competition, and their role in
research and innovation. In Part 2 the theoretical foundations for
the study of entrepreneurs and their new firms are laid, using
concepts from a cross-section of the social sciences. Part 3 tests
some of the theories outlined in Part 2 and reviews the problems
which the entrepreneurs faced in starting and developing their
business and the impact which such businesses had upon the local
economy. Part 4 reviews the lessons of the preceding parts in the
context of the regional and national economy of the UK.
