Books in the New Technology-based Firms in the New Millennium series

This book represents a continuation of an uninterrupted record of international research pertaining to high technology small firms (HTSFs) over a period that has witnessed a rebirth of interest in the growth problems of the small firm.

Examines the question of whether providing work experience within courses of study in higher education affects entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviour, important given government imperatives to foster entrepreneurship through the education system.

Includes the papers that present the research and policy evaluations which represent an evolving record of policy and research on high technology small firms through many changes in economic conditions and government policy approaches over the years.

A collection of the best papers presented at the High Technology Small Firm (HTSF) Conference held in the UK at Manchester Business School in June 2007. It includes chapters that are devoted to the critical problems of HTSF financing, comprising two contributions from the UK and from Sweden, the Irish Republic, Italy, and Belgium.
