It is not widely understood that the importance of small businesses
only became apparent with the publication of David Birch's book The
Job Generation Process in 1979. Over the past four decades,
governments across the globe have struggled to design, implement
and evaluate policies that benefit the development of small firms.
Deciding whether macro or micro policies are more appropriate for a
given context has usually created an initial challenge for
policy-makers. However, a cause for even greater dispute has been
determining and agreeing what might be the preferred outcomes of
such policies (e.g. more firms, better performing firms, fewer firm
failures, job creation, greater productivity, higher levels of
innovation, inclusivity of disadvantaged groups). Furthermore,
evaluating the impact of specific policies presents a wide range of
difficulties since it is impossible to isolate a simple
cause-and-effect relationship between policy and its stated goal.
This book explores the development of small business policy in five
countries across five continents and seeks to develop a deeper
understanding regarding how small business policy has evolved in
these countries and what we might learn from their experiences.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Small
Enterprise Research.
