Na sequência de "Empreendedorismo e planos de negócio... um retrato da superficialidade" vale a pena ler "Why Washington Has It Wrong on Small Business".
.A propósito do tipo de escolhas referidas no postal (aquilo a que Steve Blank chama Market Types):
"The Small Business Administration opened its doors in 1953, long before the entrepreneurial revolution of the 1990s, and is designed to meet the needs of more-traditional small businesses. Most of the agency's loans go to aspiring restaurant owners and hotel franchisees, not companies that come up with ideas that can reshape the global economy.
Traditional small businesses are important sources of jobs in every community. But startups with big potential need different kinds of assistance to thrive—and we need them to thrive, especially in today's economy. The one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't make sense any more."(Moi ici: Quem andar a copiar o que se faz nos States importa estas opções, viradas para a execução, não para o desenvolvimento dos clientes)
"Small companies create enormous numbers of jobs, but those gains are driven by a handful of startups that actually grow big. Most small businesses start small and stay that way.
Less than a quarter of America's 27 million small businesses have employees. An even smaller portion grow beyond 20 employees. And many of them don't want to. New research from the University of Chicago finds that 75% of small-business owners aren't aiming for growth at all. They're basically just looking for a steady job as their own boss.
...
For a start, our public policies should recognize that some small businesses are built for rapid growth while others are likely to stay small forever. Firms that are young, say five years or less, and exhibit potential for rapid growth and innovation should be classified differently than older firms that are less likely to grow and add jobs. Let's call that former group "startups" instead of "small businesses.""
