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. This edited volume brings together various articles, comments, and reflections motivated by Professor Storey’s theoretical, empirical, and policy work. It is a tribute to an academic who, with his specialized knowledge, academic insights, intuition, and analytical thinking, has greatly influenced, and will continue to influence, scientists and policy makers in the entrepreneurship and small business field. Professor Storey’s work has not only provided numerous answers to important questions related to this field but has also set a strong foundation for addressing future questions and challenges that the world faces today. This book is an excellent source for anyone interested in small business research and entrepreneurship, covering important research and policy issues in the field. George Saridakis is Professor of Entrepreneurship and Small Business at Kent Business School (KBS), UK, where he is currently the Head of the Marketing, Entrepreneurship, and International Business (MEIB) Department. His research in the area of small firms and entrepreneurship covers a wide range of topics and empirical techniques and he has published widely on the subject. Jay Mitra is Professor of Business Enterprise and Innovation and Director of the Venture Academy at Essex Business School, University of Essex, UK. He has written and published widely on the subjects of entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development.PPN: PPN: 1920028412Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-BUM | ZDB-2-SXBM
