Value for Money?
The impact of small enterprise development
Malcolm Harper, Gerry Finnegan
Value for Money? is the first book to systematically evaluate, measure and review the costs and benefits of small enterprise programmes through a range of examples of best practice from within the field. The authors have drawn on their extensive experience in business and as consultants within the enterprise development industry for this extensive study. They show that it is possible to measure and compare the costs and benefits of small enterprise development programmes, and that donors, NGOs, tax-payers and small business people themselves should demand that those who are responsible for such programmes must demonstrate that they are providing value for money. Value for Money? will be an invaluable guide to all those involved in small enterprise development programmes.
