Conference Papers
In 2006, Research New Zealand decided to sponsor its own research into the small business sector. The overarching objective of this project was to help government agencies and corporates better understand how to successfully engage with small businesses. It is for this reason that we named the project, "Shattering the Myth that small businesses are little big businesses".
Over the last two years, as time has permitted, we have worked away at the three stages of the project: a literature review to identify other research that had been completed on this topic, a qualitative study to understand why people are motivated to become small business owners, and a survey of the sector.
Early this year we completed the third and final stage of the project, the results for which will be published shortly. In the meantime, Mark Johnson (a Partner at Research New Zealand) has used a section of the results to inform a paper he recently presented at the 2008 anzea conference in Rotorua.
