ETHICS AND ENTERPRISE: THE ROLE OF THE COMPANY DIRECTOR DISQUALIFICATION ACT

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to consider how society and the legal system views and treats directors of businesses that fail and to consider the implications for small business entrepreneurship. Our particular concern is that the ambivalent social and legal attitude to risk‐taking may discourage enterprise and damage the health of the economy.
