Entrepreneurship and Small Business

This book is dedicated to honouring the contributions of Professor David Storey OBE in the field of entrepreneurship and small enterprises. David Storey, with his seminal book entitled Understanding the Small Business Sector, brought the field of entrepreneurship and small firms to the forefront of business economics and to the attention of policymakers as a critical parameter for economic growth and prosperity. His work paved the way for ongoing academic research into entrepreneurship and small firms both in the UK and worldwide. At that time, he was undoubtedly right to highlight the unique features of small firms, the significant role they would play in the economic setting, and the effective policies aimed at fostering productive entrepreneurship and healthy business activity.
