Riassunto

Small Firms: Recession and Recovery contains some of the key research findings from at the 15th National Small Firms' Policy and Research Conference in 1992.

During the recession, between one quarter and one third of SMEs have continued to grow. Meanwhile increases in technology and productivity make it unlikely that major corporations will become a source of new employment for the foreseeable future. As a result, SMEs continue to be of particular interest to those interested in the economic and social well-being of society.

The chapters in this book are thoughtful analyses of the role and position of SMEs in the UK and will appeal to all those involved in the formulation and delivery of small business policy at both a national and a regional level.
