Public Assistance Programs and Small Business Performance |
Shapiro et al.'s (1996) states, that assistance programs implementation begins by transferring inputs from the assistance program to the client, then through a series of intermediate steps, actions are taken by the client that subsequently lead to business and economic development outcomes. It is therefore possible to regard the assistance program (i.e. the consultant), its gist and input, as one party, where the other party includes the client (i.e., the firm), its capabilities, aspirations and willingness.The assistance program's effectiveness relies on both parties as well as the quality of interaction between them.
