dc.description.abstract | The Kenya Government intends to organise an extension service for
small business. Previous attempts to do this in other countries have often
failed, usually because of the high qualifications and experience which are
demanded of the staff. It is suggested that fourth form school leavers can
be employed for this work with a minimum of specialised training. An experiment
has been undertaken to test this hypothesis , and the results in terms of
innovations adopted, and the costs and benefits of possible nationwide
replication, suggest that the approach has some merit. | en_GB |
