Download or read book Small Business and Employment written by Neil M. Mosby and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since small businesses have historically created a disproportionately large share of new jobs, this book analyses the factors that lead new businesses without employees to hire their first employee. This is a significant aspect of small business job creation. Given that about three in four small businesses do not have employees, these non-employer businesses present an important source of potential new jobs. Non-employer firms -- businesses without employees -- represent a large percentage of businesses; however, little is known about their dynamics (entry and exit). This book seeks to illustrate basic statistics about the prevalence of entry and exit for non-employers and the local conditions that led to their entry.

Download or read book Making America Work Again written by National Commission on Jobs and Small Business (U.S.) and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report sets forth findings of a committee charged with recommending policies to create 10,000,000 new jobs through small business. It defines the problems of American workers and small business owners in a period of dramatic economic change. Emphasis is on solutions for the conditions that nurture enterprise and on what the country needs to do to encourage small business formation, a more secure environment for workers, and economic growth. Findings and conclusions are presented in four major areas: preparing the American people to compete; encouraging greater savings and investing them productively; expanding export groups, including those for small businesses; and minimizing the impediments to the growth of small firms. Five recommendations, outlining institutional mechanisms to focus sustained attention on the problems, are as follows: (1) mobilize the American people, (2) prepare the American work force, (3) invest in the future, (4) restore the "Yankee Trader" tradition, and (5) clear the decks--in other words, institutional reorganization of structures and processes to reflect new realities of global competition. Suggestions for implementation follow each recommendation. Appendixes include annotations--quotations from relevant literature--on numerous current economic concerns. (YLB)

Download or read book The Illusions of Entrepreneurship written by Scott A. Shane and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are far more entrepreneurs than most people realize. But the failure rate of new businesses is disappointingly high, and the economic impact of most of them disappointingly low, suggesting that enthusiastic would-be entrepreneurs and their investors all too often operate under a false set of assumptions. This book shows that the reality of entrepreneurship is decidedly different from the myths that have come to surround it. Scott Shane, a leading expert in entrepreneurial activity in the United States and other countries, draws on the data from extensive research to provide accurate, useful information about who becomes an entrepreneur and why, how businesses are started, which factors lead to success, and which predict a likely failure. The Illusions of Entrepreneurship is an essential resource for everyone who has dreamed of starting a new business, for investors in start-ups, for policy makers attempting to facilitate the formation and survival of new businesses, and for researchers interested in the economic impact of entrepreneurial activity. Scott Shane offers research-based answers to these questions and many others: · Why do people start businesses? · What industries are popular for start-ups? · How many jobs do new businesses create? · How do entrepreneurs finance their start-ups? · What makes some locations and some countries more entrepreneurial than others? · What are the characteristics of the typical entrepreneur? · How well does the typical start-up perform? · What strategies contribute to the survival and profitability of new businesses over time?
