This volume not only illustrates the research that is being done in the area of human resources in entrepreneurial firms but it raises many issues that exemplify the complexity of the topic. There are small established firms, small start-up firms and small high growth firms. These firms vary in ownership based on family ownership. These firms also vary based on how they handle people issues: structure versus lack of structure; the traditional HR functional approach versus the use of people management practices; person-job fit versus person- organization fit; ability and work experience versus integrity and conscientiousness; tasks versus roles; traditional pay versus variable pay; short-term orientation of incentives versus long-term orientation of incentives; and many more. It will help practitioners and owners in all the small and high growth firms.
