Small business policy has become a major focus of industrial policy initiatives in the OECD countries (Storey and Tether 1998). A range of policy measures are utilized in support of small business, including direct financial support, the provision of advisory services, the education and training of entrepreneurs, and linkages between firms and the social environment. These policy measures are often regarded as interdependent, creating an overall public policy system in support of small firms (Parker 1999, 2000; Storey and Tether 1998). While there is a common trend of increasing support for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) across the OECD, different countries appear to have developed very different approaches to small business policy (OECD 2000a).
