This is back to the old David Storey/Wrawick Business School stuff you were banging on about back at the start of the Business Links. So nothing has changed. And the focus ios still on start-ups even though they are like a lottery. When will small business policy follow the economics and not the politics of the situation?

This is the "startups are a lottery; bet on the high growth businesses... cos you might get some of your money back" argument.

It just rolls and rolls...

An example of Bus Schl research offering some kind of insight that can be applied or used. No blueprints here!
