摘要

目的-本文评估了2013-2016年期间位于宾夕法尼亚州的18个小企业发展中心(sbdc)作为公共资助小企业咨询服务的代理的有效性。设计/方法/方法-本文使用单样本和双样本调查结果,将咨询后调查中报告的SBDC客户的销售增长与相应业务人群的可比增长措施进行了比较。结果表明,在总体上以及按地区和行业分解时,拥有现有业务的受访者客户在咨询后的表现明显优于更广泛的人群。研究局限性/启示-虽然是最好的可用数据,但由于低回复率和自我报告,结果受到影响。原创性/价值——本文实证证明,咨询后,SBDC客户在销售和就业方面的增长高于更广泛的商业群体。然而,这些服务的净收益是无法确定的。

Here I come to save the day? Reassessing the efficacy of small business development centers in the Internet Era
Purpose - This paper assesses the efficacy of the 18 small business development centers (SBDCs) located throughout the state of Pennsylvania during 2013–2016 as a proxy for publicly funded, small business consulting services in general. Design/methodology/approach - The paper compares the sales growth of SBDC clients, as reported in postconsultation surveys, to comparable growth measures for the corresponding business population using one- and two-sample Findings - The results show that respondent clients with existing businesses clearly outperform the broader population following consultation, both in aggregate and when decomposed by region and industry. Research limitations/implications - Although the best available data, the results are tempered by low response rates and self-reporting. Originality/value - The paper empirically demonstrates that SBDC clients experience higher growth in sales and employment following their consultation than the broader business population. The net benefit of such services is, however, impossible to determine.

期刊介绍: Institutions – especially public policies – are a significant determinant of economic outcomes; entrepreneurship and enterprise development are often the channel by which public policies affect economic outcomes, and by which outcomes feed back to the policy process. The Journal of Entrepreneurship & Public Policy (JEPP) was created to encourage and disseminate quality research about these vital relationships. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of the political discourse about entrepreneurship and development policies. JEPP publishes two issues per year and welcomes: Empirically oriented academic papers and accepts a wide variety of empirical evidence. Generally, the journal considers any analysis based on real-world circumstances and conditions that can change behaviour, legislation, or outcomes, Conceptual or theoretical papers that indicate a direction for future research, or otherwise advance the field of study, A limited number of carefully and accurately executed replication studies, Book reviews. In general, JEPP seeks high-quality articles that say something interesting about the relationships among public policy and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship and economic development, or all three areas. Scope/Coverage: Entrepreneurship, Public policy, Public policies and behaviour of economic agents, Interjurisdictional differentials and their effects, Law and entrepreneurship, New firms; startups, Microeconomic analyses of economic development, Development planning and policy, Innovation and invention: processes and incentives, Regional economic activity: growth, development, and changes, Regional development policy.
