  9. In any assessment of employee relations in smaller firms it is imperative to consider not only the internal dynamics of the firm, but external market pressures and competitive environments in which they operate. Discuss. ‘If more research is desired about small business ventures, then one must learn about the individuals who create and manage them, because the two are inextricably bound’ (Carland et al, 1988). Critically evaluate this statement in relation to theoretical perspectives of entrepreneurship.

  10. A guy wakes up in the morning and says ‘I’m going to be an entrepreneur.’ So he goes into work and he walks up to the best technologist in the company and whispers: ‘Would you like to join my company? Ten o’clock, Saturday, my place. And bring some doughnuts.’ Then he goes to the best finance guy he knows, and says, Bring some coffee.’ Then he gets a marketing guy. And if you are the right entrepreneur you have three or four of the best minds in the business. Ten o’clock Saturday rolls around. They say, ‘Hey, what is our company going to do?’ You say, Build left-handed widgets.’ Another hour and you’ve got a business plan roughed out. The finance guy says he know where he can get some money. So what have you done? You’ve not provided the coffee.You’ve not provided the doughnuts. You’ve not provided the ideas. You’ve been the entrepreneur. You made it all happen. (Larson and Rogers, 1986)
