dc.descriptionThe aims of the study are:<br> (i)to identify the key characteristics of (a) a sample of newly formed Northern businesses; and (b) the founders of those businesses;<br> (ii)to track the perceptions founders have, at different points during the first two years of life, of likely business prospects over a range of time horizons;<br> (iii)to track the actual development of the businesses in their first two years in such a way that the perceptions identified in (ii) can be compared with what actually happened;<br> (iv)to analyse the relationship between the key characteristics of the sample businesses and their founders identified in (i) and: (a) the perceptions identified in (ii); (b) the actual development identified in (iii); and (c) the gap between perceptions and outcomes;<br> (v)to analyses the determinants of changes in relationship between perceptions and actual outcomes.en

dc.descriptionThe key characteristics of the respondents and their businesses were analysed. Information was provided on such variables as sectoral breakdown, employment growth, markets, competition, difficulties, challenges, financing and assistance from external agencies. Questions relating to respondents focused on educational, social and economic background including work experience.<br> The project also looked at how small businesses change and develop over time. At each interview stage respondents' perceptions of future business prospects over different time horizons were elicited. These periods coincided with planned subsequent interviews which would facilitate comparison of forecasts with actual outcomes. Although the study mainly addressed the issues of survival, employment, turnover and product mix, respondents were also asked about likely future changes in a number of other aspects of business activity and organisation. Various investigative techniques such as regression, logit analysis and some parametric and non-parametric tests were used to analyse the dataset.<br> The dataset also provided the means to examine whether the survey firms improved their forecasting ability between the first and second two six month periods.<br> Some insight was also provided into the nature of VAT data on registration and deregistrations. In particular, the opportunity was provided to examine, firstly, the extent to which registrants are involved in setting up entirely new businesses and secondly, the relationship between the date of registration and the start of trading. The depositor states &lt;i&gt;The results suggested that some caution should be exercised in the use of VAT registration statistics in the analysis of firm births&lt;/i&gt;.en
