First published in 1973, this title examines the development
patterns of small businesses. It considers why people found firms;
the factors that contribute to entrepreneurial success; problems of
management succession and inheritance; the strengths and weaknesses
of family firms; the reasons why small firms are taken over; and
the social, economic and managerial context of their growth,
decline, and revival. Based on a survey of sixty-four firms, each
employing fewer than five hundred people, in engineering, hosiery,
and knitwear, and on the records of 370 similar organisations, a
striking gap in performance and management attitudes emerges as
between dynamic, mostly founder-run firms and stagnant, mostly
inherited ones. Where many books are either minutely specialised or
highly abstract and over-generalised, Jonathan Boswell's work is
practical and diagnostic, probing the inner recesses of the small
firm sector. With particular relevance to the difficulties faced by
entrepreneurs in today's economic environment, this title advances
selective measures to deal with old firms and inheritance, and a
wide range of policies to encourage new entrepreneurship.
