Economic Outcomes of E-Professional, Home-based Entrepreneurs
نویسنده
چکیده
More than half of small businesses are operated in or from a home, yet they are the missing majority. Home-based businesses (HBBs) are increasingly important in our society as a result of adoption of ICT and other discernable trends but they have been largely ignored in research. This paper compares receipts, expenses and net income of home-based (HBB) with non-home-based (non-HBB) professionals in the professional, scientific and technical services industry. It brings to attention the HBB location as a key variable when modeling entrepreneurship. Recommendations for future research are to take into account the impact of the home as a business location in research design and theory development.
