The Take-up of Business Growth Training Schemes by Ethnic Minority-owned: Small Firms in Britain
研究了英国少数族裔小企业主对政府资助的商业发展计划的兴趣,发现他们和白人小企业主一样,对通过正式培训发展企业有真实兴趣。
SUSAN MARLOW IS A SENIOR LECTURER in the Leicester Polytechnic Business School, England. A feature of the growth of the small business sector in Britain has been the emergence of the ethnic minority-owned enterprise but ethnic-owned firms do not appear to be benefiting from or even using professional advice. This research takes the example of a business development scheme sponsored by a government advice agency, using it as a test case to assess what level of interest exists in such programmes from minority group business owners. The evidence indicates that minority group entrepreneurs and white small firm owners with a substantial proportion of their employees from ethnic minorities have a genuine and considerable interest in developing their businesses through the use of formal business growth training and professional advice.
