- Thanks Steve for this nice introduction I would like to start by sharing with you an enterprise development framework. In the process I will make some general points and present some examples regarding this process in Boston’s inner city. This framework can be understood as both an evolutionary process or we can think of it as a series of entry points in this process. Lets start here (first step)… Domestic and wage labor. Suppose we have a family unit in which some of its members work at home performing some domestic duties and others work outside the household as wage laborers... They complement the family income with their in kind (cooking, for example) and monetary incomes (from cooking in a restaurant, for example). Suppose now that they decide to open their own home-based cooking business… They are transitioning to a “self employment mode of production.” The general point here is that for every transition from one social form of production to the other there are enabling factors, benefits, and challenges. Enabling factors are here understood as “business environment factors” - external factors such as taxation, capital availability, technical support systems, training, etc. - and “operational factors” - internal factors such as technical skills, business skills, equity capital, etc.
