The author's assertion that business schools lack interest in small business hardly seems to agree with the findings of the study cited on page 22 of the same issue of INC. If professor Karl Vesper's figures are accurate, there has been a 1,000% increase in programs devoted to entrepreneurship within the last 10 years.

The author also laments that only 23 of 621 pages in an "Introduction to Business" text deal with small business. But many instructors also use one or more of the small business texts available from major publishers. As for his assertion that research on entrepreneurship isn't being published where it counts, every issue of the Harvard Business Review since January 1979 has included articles of particular interest to owners and managers of small businesses.
