Small business and the changing policy environment in Bangladesh
A policy achieves little if its implementation is weak. This article looks at what policies have done for small business development in Bangladesh.

It is proposed that a coherent, comprehensive small business development policy must be formulated, and that ways to implement the policy effectively must be considered.
