The Effects Of Small Business Training In Mature And Developing Countries

The Small Business Administration in the US has promoted a variety of business literacy programs to encourage entrepreneurship and job creation.  This study suggests that business literacy programs are more effective in developing countries than they have been in the US and other developed countries.  Mexico is offered as an example of a successful program and it is suggested that SBA programs in the US might be less effective because other sources of business literacy are available in the US.
