This work seeks to address the issue of mid-size business and demonstrate the vital financial, political and economic importance of this area of business. Papers included cover many different aspects. In the second chapter John Macey argues that mid-size businesses are at a significant competitive disadvantage concerning litigation when compared with both large and small firms. The next chapter focuses on how businesses will be affected by fiscal policy changes. The final paper provides suggestions on how financial data might be used by managers in planning. In summary, the papers in this volume hope to provide important information for owners and managers of the entrepreneurial middle-mid-size business. The policy reforms under discussion have far-reaching implications for how this vital segment competes in both the national and international economies.
