Synopsis

Aboriginal communities have an increasing interest in small business and the opportunities it offers for individual and community autonomy. This book looks at the growing small business sector in aboriginal communities across Canada. Containing current information on special programs for financing aboriginal businesses, this innovative text identifies small business opportunities unique to aboriginal communities and entrepreneurs, and covers the financing and daily management of these enterprises from the initial business idea and the development of a business plan, to the growth and expansion of the business. Aboriginal Small Business and Entrepreneurship in Canada has special sections on micro-enterprises, family owned, and tribally owned businesses, as well as numerous case studies and examples. The authors employ a broad definition of "entrepreneurship", with a focus on the social and community goals. The voices of many aboriginal entrepreneurs are heard throughout the book. Whether used in the classroom or as a stand-alone resource manual, Aboriginal Small Business and Entrepreneurship in Canada is an invaluable book for practicing and prospective aboriginal entrepreneurs, economic and social development personnel, and those generally interested in aboriginal studies.
