Download or read book The Financing of Small Business written by Lauren Helena Read and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed empirical study of how small business owners finance their enterprises, this volume compares the experiences of women with those of men. The author redresses an over-reliance on subjective and anecdotal evidence of discrimination in this area with a controlled study of forty matched pairs of male/female owners and their strategies for raising finances. The research reveals the importance of adopting a theoretical framework in which the role of gender in the financing of small businesses is considered, and the practical implications for female entrepreneurs, banks and policy-makers.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conceived to respond to the need for a benchmark report on the state of the northern Ontario economy. The first two chapters provide the economic base of the report and describe changes in the industrial structure of the northern Ontario labour force and the state of northern business. Information is included on employment distribution by industry, changes in employment over 1989-93, employment by gender, the importance of the resource sectors, number of businesses and their sectoral distribution & growth, sectoral distribution of businesses by size, and employment & average earnings by business size. The next three chapters are largely based on data collected from a 1997 survey of 229 northern Ontario businesses. These surveys provide information on northern entrepreneurs, sources of financing, the relationship between small businesses and financial institutions, utilization of government agencies and programs, demographic sub-groups of business owners (women, Aboriginals, Francophones), trading outside the local market, extent of market research and perceived competition, use of technology, employee training, organizational strategies, and growth rates. The final chapter contains an overview of the recent economic picture and a framework for assessing the state of small business & entrepreneurship in the north, with reference to factors identified as important to business formation and growth.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories written by Godfrey Baldacchino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories is the first publication to consider the ‘creative’ side of enterprise in small island states and territories. Rather than playing out as remote, vulnerable and dependent backwaters of neo-colonialism, the world’s small island states and territories (with resident populations of less than 1 million) show considerable resourcefulness in facing up to the very real challenges of their predicament. The creative endeavours of their residents, facilitated by adroit public policy, has created economic and investment opportunities that translate into some private sector employment and decent livelihoods for many. Their ingenuity, coupled with strategic investments and the support of the diaspora, has led to a suite of (sometimes unlikely) products and services: from citizenship and higher-level internet domain names, to place-branded foods and beverages; from electronic gaming to niche manufacturing. There is much more to small island survival than subsistence farming, aid, remittances and public sector workfare. Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories helps to dispel this myth, showcasing an aspect of life in small island states and territories that is rarely documented or critically reviewed.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship Community and Community Development written by Michael W-P Fortunato and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While entrepreneurship is widely cited as playing a key role in economic development, job creation, and advances in well-being in capitalist nations, there has been an overwhelming focus on the firm, firm founders, and founders’ strategies and decision-making processes. Only more recently, the important link between communities and entrepreneurs has emerged as a new frontier in entrepreneurship research. This book brings the emerging nexus between community and entrepreneur to light by exploring the mutual impact that communities and entrepreneurs have on one another. It focuses on how entrepreneurship development can push beyond the traditional emphasis on economic growth: from enriching the local lifestyle to building self-sufficiency; from attracting new markets to rediscovering traditional work; from the highest tech enterprises to the most ancient crafts and trades. The authors cover a wide variety of topics including rural community entrepreneurship development and culture, innovation and regional development, community-based enterprise learning, and urban revitalization strategies. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Community Development.
