Weekly Post (week 6)

Get The Answers: Entrepreneurs are important source of new jobs

This article examines why small business thrive in New Zealand and what types of small business should look to expand.  However the article also mentions New Zealand's lack of international businesses:
    "A recent report by Statistics NZ, from their 2011 Business Operations Survey, indicates that only 18 per cent of businesses surveyed generated some form of overseas income last year and that 77 per cent of businesses had never generated overseas income."
The lack of international business limits the size of corporations in New Zealand.  This directly relates to the consulting project in class because without large firms, there is no demand for limousines.  If New Zealand is able to increase international business and in doing so increase firm size, a viable limousine market may develop.
