Description

Wuttunee believes that the continued growth and development of a dynamic small business sector is vital to Canada's future economic structure. She has therefore directed her book not only to potential northern entrepreneurs and students interested in the concerns of small businesses in isolated communities but also to those who provide the support services for owners of small businesses.

Reviews

"In Business for Ourselves is well organ-ized, easy to read and offers the essence of the entrepreneurial experience ... it will have a general appeal to readers interested in the North and its residents. The simple language and the basic financial analysis of the firms makes the publication attractive ... Students studying basic business principles in business programs will find good value in this work." Lloyd Binder, Economic Development and Tourism, Government of the Northwest Territories. "The scholarship and methodology used in the book are of high quality and are consistent with books written about entrepreneurs in other parts of North America. The book is organized in such a way that it is easy to follow and to compare the various entrepreneurs by flipping back and forth between the chapters." Heather S. Travers, Faculty of Arts, University of Calgary.
