Economic stagnation in the 1970s heavily influenced public
perception of small business in the industrialized world. Suddenly,
small businesses were seen as the dynamic creator of new jobs, as a
source of new technology, as a flexible mode of organization able
to outmanoeuvre larger firms, and as an important key to community
revitalization. Because of its inherent diversity and complexity,
however, small business does not easily lend itself to traditional
quantitative consideration, and relatively scant scholarly
attention has been paid either to the role of small business in the
wider economy or to potentially valuable international comparison.
In Small Firms, Large Concerns, G-7 researchers and scholars follow
the process of small business development in North America, Europe,
and Japan. They examine economic growth and social stability; the
links between small and big business; and the resilience and
vulnerability of small business management. Fuji Business History
