Social And Spatial Determinants Of Small Business Performance

A chapter in Regional Analysis and Policy, 2008, pp 297-313 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Businesses are increasingly acknowledged as key economic actors for urban and regional revitalisation and competitiveness. The latter results from a complicated process of successful interaction between firms and their social and spatial environment. The present study analyses this interaction by accounting for the effects of different types of networking and of entrepreneurial perceptions regarding the regional characteristics of small business performance. The analysis is based on cross-sectional data gathered from face-to-face interviews with small tourism businesses in Patras, Greece.
