Opis

This title was first published in 2001: Governments world-wide have developed policies to encourage innovation, entrepreneurship and small firm growth, and to increase access to small firm finance. This book links these regulatory policies to the ethical and governance practices of small firms in order to explain the impact and success these policies might be expected to enjoy.
