Opis

After the dramatic flourishing of small-scale enterprise 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 than favourable. Factors such as demographic change and technological developments threaten the economic future of the small firm.
