The Small Business Administration (SBA) has provided "technical and managerial aides to small-business concerns, by advising and counselling on matters in connection with government procurement and on policies, principles and practices of good management" since it began operations in 1953. Initially, the SBA provided its own small business management and technical assistance training programs. However, over time, the SBA has relied increasingly on third parties to provide that training. This new book examines the historical development of federal small business management and technical assistance training programs; describes their current structures, operations, and budgets and assesses their administration and oversight, and the measures used to determine their effectiveness.
