Business Education and Microenterprise: A Millenial Marriage

Abstract

One of the most exciting developments in the business community today is the microenterprise movement. It is exciting because 1) it creatively addresses the current crisis of poverty and welfare reform; 2) it is capacity-building rather than relief-oriented; 3) it is servicedriven rather than profit-driven; and 4) it represents one of the few times in history when the socalled
developed world has actually listened to the developing world and then followed in its footsteps.
