Sumario:"The book explores the socio-economic and cultural relationships that make life for small entrepreneurs in Makassar, on the eastern Indonesian island of Sulawesi, so distinctive. The application of this new framework for research reveals the diversity of labour flexibility, networking and cluster styles among the enterprises studied, and the constraints they face for growth. Applied in the context of Makassar, it allows us to gain an in-depth understanding of what life is like for the small-scale entrepreneurs who operate in the city. The analysis begins with an examination of the internal dynamics of the enterprise studies, concentrating on their history, production processes and labour flexibility. It then moves to explore inter-firm dynamics, focusing upon the networks, trust and clusters that have evolved amongst the enterprises, and also with other local economic factors. These insights give us a clear understanding of the constraints that small-scale entrepreneurs face in trying to attain their own versions of 'success'."--Jacket
