OECD SME and Entrepreneurship Outlook 2005

68/100
👎 Skip It

As a policy and statistical reference document from the OECD, this is authoritative and genuinely valuable — cross-country SME data, the Istanbul Ministerial Declaration, and thematic coverage across finance, innovation, women's entrepreneurship, and regulation make it a serious research resource. The score reflects its nature: dense, superseded by later editions, and written for policymakers and economists rather than general readers. For the right professional audience in 2005 it would have scored much higher; today it is primarily a historical citation source.
