Administration are most grateful to the members of the Small Business Institute

Journal of Small Business Strategy. We arc mindful of the outstanding contributions
of previous editors and sponsoring organizations and expect to carry on the practical
nature, as well as sound methodological research procedures comprising thc Journal's
contcne

Wc have leamcd that in publishing a journal, like success in small business,
there arc no shon-cuts. Thc'valuable assistance of all the members of the Editorial
Advisory Board has made a substantial contribution to getting this issue out on time.

In looking forward to future issues and the continuing development of the
Journa! of Smail Business S&raregy, wc would welcome letters to thc Editor, notes and
comments on issues facing small business, review of ncw books in the field and
insightl'ul casework or counseling notes. Onc thoughtl'ul suggestion has bccn to

Comer"), who's comments can help all of us stay in the forefront of change and
challcngc.

Wc wclcomc your comments and suggestions and look forward to working
