I am pleased to announce that this blog now has a relationship with the International Council of Small Business (ICSB) as part of their new website (you can find the direct link here). Founded in 1955, ICSB was the first international membership organization to promote the growth and development of small businesses worldwide. The organization brings together educators, researchers, policy makers and practitioners from around the world to share knowledge and expertise in their respective fields.
I am honored to be the first featured blog at the new ICSB website. I have been a member of ICSB since the 1980s, including the time I left academics to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. I was Program Chair of the 2005 ICSB World Conference held in Washington, DC.
