Produktbeschreibung
Using a new framework for the study of small enterprises, the 'small enterprise integrative framework', this book gives us a greater understanding of the organization and operations of small enterprises in developing countries, at both the micro and macro levels. In the context of Makassar, on the eastern Indonesian island of Sulawesi, the book explores the socio-economic and cultural relationships that make life for small entrepreneurs in Makassar so distinctive. The application of this new framework for research reveals the diversity of labor flexibility, networking and cluster styles among enterprise studies, and the constraints they face for growth. The recent Southeast Asian economic crisis has been heralded by certain commentators as a new era for small enterprises in the region, the book concludes that local realities for the small enterprises in Makassar mean that while for some it has been a time of shifting fortunes, others have continued trading on the margins.
