Features: This book provides an in-depth analysis of the theoretical foundations of small business survival and development, clarifies the long-standing ambiguous understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of small businesses, and demonstrates both theoretically and practically the fundamental proposition that "small businesses are not just big businesses with small scale." Based on empirical research, it argues that the main management barriers to small business growth primarily stem from the entrepreneur team and the core growth model of the business. Furthermore, it closely integrates general theories from abroad with the specific characteristics of small businesses during China's period of institutional transition, moving beyond the research approach of solely examining small business growth barriers from the perspective of management functions.
