Pittaway, Luke
Learning and relationships in small firms : introduction to the special issue/ created by Luke Pittaway and Mary Rose - International small business journal Volume 24, number 3 .
At a workshop held at the Management School, Lancaster University, on 25 May 2004, 20 papers were presented to an audience of over 40 researchers. The 4 selected for publication examine different aspects of learning and relationships in small firms. They do so from a variety of perspectives – operations manage\xment, entrepreneurial learning and family firms – and use a range of theoretical stances: positivism, social constructionism and cultural anthropology. The methods and data also vary and include quantitative and qualitative empirical studies, as well as innovations in methodology. Given their differences in theor\xetical orientation it is interesting that they converge on two important and related themes in the subject, the role of relationships and learning.
