Recent development experience points to the way businesses can be the key to a dynamic small business sector, especially where those links are built on high trust co-operative relations. This book reviews different types of small-business network, illustrated by an international selection of case studies, including: Chinese family business networks; ethnic minority business networks; Japanese and South Korean business group networks; Taiwan's subcontracting networks; and European industrial districts. Network promotion initiatives in Singapore, New Zealand, Scandanavia and the UK are each discussed to provide a comprehensive and comparative assessment of small business networks.
