The Foundations of Female Entrepreneurship by Alison Kay Pdf
The Foundations of Female Entrepreneurship explores the relationship between home, household headship and enterprise in Victorian London. It examines the notions of duty, honor and suitability in how women’s ventures are represented by themselves and others and engages in a comparison of the interpretation of historical female entrepreneurship by contemporaries and historians in the UK, Europe and America. It argues that just as women in business have often been hidden by men, they have often also been hidden by the ‘home’ and the conceptualization of separate spheres of public and private agency and of ‘the’ entrepreneur. Drawing on contextual evidence from 1747 to 1880, including fire insurance records, directories, trade cards, newspapers, memoirs, the census and extensive record linkage, this study concentrates on the early to mid-Victorian period when ideals about gender roles and appropriate work for women were vigorously debated. Alison Kay offers new insight into the motivations of the Victorian women who opted to pursue enterprises of their own. By engaging in empirical comparisons with men's business, it also reveals similarities and differences with the small to medium sized ventures of male business proprietors. The link between home and enterprise is then further excavated by detailed record linkage, revealing the households and domestic circumstances and responsibilities of female proprietors. Using both discourse and data to connect enterprise, proprietor and household, The Foundations of Female Entrepreneurship provides a multi-dimensional picture of the Victorian female proprietor and moves beyond the stereotypes. It argues that active business did not exclude women, although careful representation was vital and this has obscured the similarities of their businesses with those of many male business proprietors.

5 Principles Of Survival For Small Business by WAURISA LYN SHORTER Pdf
Does an organization like a small business exist? There are many different definitions for this term. The American Small Business Association (SBA) defines: a one-member private business and an enterprise with more than one to 499 employees are small businesses. A flea market vendor is not like a software design company with 400 employees. It is obviously illogical to include all small businesses under this definition. In some ways, the SBA itself acknowledges the omission of what constitutes a small business in this 29-page definition. And these are actual numbers. You think you don't need to know them when you grow your business, but I encourage you to read on. According to a 2002 Census report, there are 22 million small businesses in operation. If you take a closer look at this figure, there are about 17 million small businesses without employees. Some businesses are simply the covers that accountants and lawyers have set up for tax breaks. Others are businesses that are unable or unwilling to scale up. Although there are no employees, you can still set up a small business if: • You sell part-time candles, cleaning products, or cosmetics and make a profit of several hundred dollars per year; • You quit a job at a company and the company hired you to work as an independent contract worker; • You are retired, but still consulting in your field; • You open a stall at a local arts festival to sell home-made handicrafts; • You buy and resell some things at a higher price to make a profit, such as: cars, rental houses, valuable collectibles ...; • You get a return on your investment. There is no problem with this type of business. They bring money to the owner, so these activities are business, not merely hobbies. Many business activities even help them lead a more comfortable life. But these small businesses rarely hire more employees. In many cases, employers do not want to grow their business. They only intend to earn enough money to live or earn extra income.
This book, originally published in 1982, review the resurrection of the small firm, partly by a multi-disciplined examination of the existing literature on small and new firms and partly by reporting the results of a study of firms new (in the early 1980s) to the North East of England. Part 1 deals with the role of small firms as sources of potential or actual competition, and their role in research and innovation. In Part 2 the theoretical foundations for the study of entrepreneurs and their new firms are laid, using concepts from a cross-section of the social sciences. Part 3 tests some of the theories outlined in Part 2 and reviews the problems which the entrepreneurs faced in starting and developing their business and the impact which such businesses had upon the local economy. Part 4 reviews the lessons of the preceding parts in the context of the regional and national economy of the UK.
Small Business and Society (Routledge Revivals) by David Goss Pdf
When this book was first published in 1991, political ideology had thrust small-firm issues to the forefront of attempts to revitalize the British economy. In the Thatcher years the emphasis had been on individual enterprise and initiative with the number of small firms increasing rapidly. This was reflected in the growth in the number of specialist studies analysis small-firm revivalism. Small Business and Society clarifies the issues and debates that surround the small business and its place in society. In particular, the complex nature of its social role is examined: on the one hand, the entrepreneur can be seen as the innovator exploiting free-market capitalism to strengthen the economy; on the other, employment conditions and industrial relations are said to suffer. Moreover, the growing importance of ‘green’ issues now brings into question the extent to which the small firm benefits the environment. This book will be of interest to students of business and sociology.
The Persistence of Entrepreneurship Myths by Simon Bridge Pdf
Triggered largely by claims that small businesses were the main source of new jobs, an ‘explosion’ of interest in enterprise, entrepreneurs and small business has led to the establishment of a conventional wisdom about enterprise. Mistaken theories can become influential and examining the conventional enterprise wisdom indicates that much of it is questionable. If that is the case, a reassessment is needed. While wilful blindness and continuing to do more of the same is a natural response, it will not lead to improvements in knowledge. A new paradigm requires a step change in thinking, which is not easy to initiate. Nevertheless, accepting the evidence for the errors in current understanding and practice is a necessary first step if enterprise and its benefits are to be better understood and promoted. This book examines the conventional wisdom around enterprise, entrepreneurs and small businesses and illustrates not only why and how this could have evolved, but also why it could be based on a set of mistaken assumptions. Correcting the foundational knowledge on which enterprise and policy and practice rely and finding a new paradigm will result in better teaching and more effective policy. It will therefore be of interest to researchers, academics, students and policy makers in the fields of enterprise and entrepreneurship.
