The Impact of Regulation on Small Business Performance The Impact of Regulation on Small Business Performance The Impact of Regulation on Small Business Performance The Impact of Regulation on Small Business Performance

The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of government regulation on small business performance outcomes. The received wisdom arising from previous studies often assumes a rather narrow view of regulation focussing on the burdens, costs and constraints that regulation imposes on small business. This report presents an alternative but fundamentally complementary view, constructed from a broader understanding of the diverse ways regulation contributes to business performance outcomes.[...] [Michael Anyadike-Danes, Rosemary Athayde, Robert Blackburn, Mark Hart, John Kitching, David Smallbone, Nick Wilson] Our approach was specifically designed to capture the complexity and inter-related nature of the factors that underpin differences in small business performance. And within this to explain why and how small businesses tend to experience different performance outcomes despite a common regulatory environment.
