Enterprise and Culture is a uniquely wide-ranging, insightful and well-informed critical evaluation of the economic and social project of creating an enterprise culture.
Colin Gray argues that the failure of small enterprise policy is not just a question of economics, but is also caused by psychological and cultural factors. The book demonstrates that the individualism at the centre of enterprise culture policies is, itself, the main impediment to the successful growth and development of small enterprises.

Offering a new understanding of familiar material, this book looks at small businesses from a knowledge perspective. Exploring how knowledge management can affect both the behaviour and performance of small businesses, Gray examines the significance of knowledge management over the different stages of the life-cycle of a business, looking at its importance during the emergence, growth and development of a small firm.
