The Foundations of Small Business Enterprise
Written by Professor Gavin Reid,
of the Department of Economics, University of St Andrews
The Foundations of Small
Business Enterprise provides an extended, and novel, entrepreneurial analysis
of small firm inception and growth. Gavin C Reid develops a new kind of
'micro-micro' analysis, applying rigorous methods from economics, accounting and
finance to gain a deeper understanding of micro-firms, by examining their
performance, hierarchy, strategy, capital
structure, monitoring and control, flexibility, innovation, and information
systems.
Written by a leading authority in the field, and using
statistical, econometric and qualitative methods of empirical research, in The
Foundations of Small Business Enterprise the
author tracks and analyses the evolution of small firms from their early years
through to maturity.
