Their importance is now recognized as a leading creator of jobs and new industries-as evidenced by the implementation of a series of supportive measures initiated both in the private and public sectors. NLFC, which has conducted Surveys of New Start-ups since 1969, began to publish findings in 1991 in the form of annual white paper. This survey is the 10th of the kind. Forty-three of the new starters surveyed here were given both a questionnaire and an interview (by visiting ). |
