Opis

After the dramatic flourishing of small scale enterprises in the 1980s can the coming decade support and sustain the small business? The socio-economic restructuring of Britain allowed small businesses to thrive but the way ahead looks less favourable. Factors such as demographic trends and technological developments threaten the economic future of the small firm.
