Abstract
This e-special issue focuses on employment relations in the context of ¡®small business revivalism¡¯ and an ¡®enterprise culture¡¯ that has sought to establish a so-called ¡®entrepreneurial economy¡¯. Economic restructuring and other political, social and economic changes in the 1970s and 1980s led to an increase in the number and prominence of small and medium-sized enterprises, with implications for the working lives of many people who are now more likely to work as self-employed, freelancers or members of smaller organizations. This e-special issue presents research from Work, employment and society that considers important elements of these changes, including debates about the influences of businesses¡¯ external and internal environments, family relations and government policy. This introduction provides a general overview of the field of employment relations in small and medium-sized enterprises and the 11 articles included in the e-special issue.
