Chapter 10 in Three Decades of Enterprise Culture, 2008, pp 233-248 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This book has sought to observe new businesses primarily through the lens of public policy makers. Its prime concern has been to examine the characteristics of new businesses created in arguably the UK’s least entrepreneurial area — Teesside — in the 1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s and, during the 1990s to compare them with other more entrepreneurial parts of the UK. Our central policy question has been: ‘Given the objective of policy in the 1980s and 1990s was to make Teesside more entrepreneurial — did it work?’ Our supplementary concern is — based on our and other evidence — to offer guidance of the direction of new policies.
