CHANGES IN THE NATURE OF UK SMALL BUSINESS RESEARCH, 1980–1990. PART TWO: CHANGES IN THE NATURE OF THE OUTPUT

Abstract

Significant changes have taken place in the nature, organisation and management of research on the UK SME sector over the past decade. This is the second in a short series of papers documenting and analysing those changes. As in part one, the data set addressed is the published proceedings of the ‘UKEMRA’ annual research conferences, which constitute the most comparable, relevant record of such research output between the late 1970s and the early 1990s. This paper focuses specifically on changes in the nature of those published outputs in SME research, and how these are used by other academics.
