Recent development experience points to the way business can be the key to a dynamic small business sector, especially where those links are built on high trust co-operative relations.
This book reviews different types of small business network, illustrated by an international selection of case studies, including:

* Chinese family business networks
* ethinic minority business networks
* Japanese and South Korean business group networks
* Taiwan's subcontracting networks
* European industrial districts
Network promotion initiatives in Singapore, New Zealand, Scandinavia and the UK are each discussed to provide a comprehensive comparative assessment of small business networks.
