Abstract: Abstract David Birch presented his report The Job Generation Process in 1979 – at a time of transition in American society; the large-scale systems and giant corporations were beginning to be questioned, the structure of industry was undergoing change and new industries were starting to emerge, unemployment was high, and a trend in the economy toward more small businesses could be discerned. Birch observed the prevailing developments in society. In his report he showed that small companies accounted for the majority of new jobs in the US, thereby challenging conventional wisdom about the creation of new jobs in society.
