Abstract

Even for a small country like Wales, there are substantial and unique differences between urban and rural environments in relation to not only establishing and enhancing nonagricultural entrepreneurship levels and attitudes, but also maintaining an interest in entrepreneurship in areas historically displaying high levels of enterprise. This paper investigates and highlights these distinctions. The outcome, in turn, will affect the manner of small business support and implementation of small business and enterprise policies by the Welsh Assembly Government, i.e., one size does not fit all in the Welsh context.
