考察英国的少数族裔公司，特别关注创业动机、劳动力供应、市场条件、银行关系和商业支持机构。重点是亚洲和非洲/加勒比群体。分析表明，民族企业并不是由文化决定的。相反，必须考虑机会结构与家庭和社区关系的结合。关于少数民族企业家的劳动实践，这些群体似乎有许多相似之处。事实证明，家庭和社区劳动力既是企业的重要资源，也是企业的障碍。此外，在这些公司中，女性的作用没有得到充分认识。许多少数民族公司依靠少数民族市场取得最初的商业成功，但希望进一步取得成功的公司必须打入其他市场，这证明是困难的，因为需要管理和社会过程。资金不足被认为是少数民族企业家面临的最大障碍之一。这一挑战的原因并不明显，一些人认为这与种族有关，而另一些人则认为这与少数民族企业家所拥有的企业类型有关。虽然少数民族企业可以获得许多支持服务，但必须提高这些项目的有效性。增加收益的建议包括明确目标，更好地定义策略，以及提供网络机会。本报告强调了该领域未来的研究方向。(阶跃恢复二极管)
Examines minority firms in the United Kingdom with specific attention on entrepreneurial motivation, labor supply, market conditions, banking relationships, and business support agencies. Focus is on the Asian and African/Caribbean groups. The analysis shows that ethnic enterprise is not culturally predetermined. Rather, a combination of the opportunity structure and familial and community ties must be considered. With respect to the labor practices of ethnic entrepreneurs, it appears that there are many similarities across these groups. Family and community labor prove to be both a vital resource and a hindrance to the firms. Further, the role of females is not fully recognized in these firms. Many minority firms rely on the ethnic markets for initial business success, but the firms that wish to further their success must break into other markets, which proves to be difficult because of the management and social processes that are needed. Underfunding is identified as one of the largest obstacles that ethnic entrepreneurs face. The cause of this challenge is not obvious, with some holding that it is race related while other believe it to be related to the types of business that ethnic entrepreneurs own. Although there are many support services available to ethnic firms, the effectiveness of such programs must be increased. Suggestions for increasing the benefits include clarifying objectives, better defining strategy, and making networking opportunities available. This report highlights areas for future study in this area. (SRD)
