Some Implications for Small Business ManagementReviews'Peter Johnson's wealth of experience in analysing small firms through an economics lens shines through in this book. It focuses on the key issues, cutting through the swathes of irrelevance that so often characterise entrepreneurship books, so as to produce a clear, crisp and accessible read for students and researchers alike.' - David Storey, Associate Dean Research & Director of Enterprise Group, Centre for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises, Warwick Business School, The University of Warwick 'Peter Johnson, a pioneering researcher of the economics of small firms, has taken the disparate and largely technical economics literature on entrepreneurship and transformed it into an accessible synthesis that highlights its wider relevance. This much needed book provides undergraduates, policy makers, and practitioners with a rare opportunity to gain a solid perspective of the insights of economics research on small firms from a single source.' - Professor Andrew Burke, Director of the Bettany Centre for Entrepreneurial Performance & Economics, Cranfield School of Management Author InformationPeter Johnson is Emeritus Professor of Business Economics in the Centre for Entrepreneurship at Durham University.
