Given the sustained challenging economic environment, there has been a lot of focus on how the U.S. can grow and compete, particularly in the areas of entrepreneurship and small business. This does not only include from the government or public sector view point, but very much from that of the private sector.
Role of Business
Research from the Harvard Business School (HBS) U.S. Competitiveness Project delves into the role of the business sector in U.S. competitiveness. One area HBS has recommended for companies is "supporting innovation and entrepreneurship." An example of how this can be realized is a business investing in developing companies related to their supply chain.
