This is the fourth volume in an annual series originating from the High Technology Small Firms Conference, which has been held at Manchester Business School in England since 1993. However, this volume marks a departure for the conference by reflecting a new collaboration between Manchester Business School and the University of Twente at Enschede in The Netherlands. In the future the conference will alternate between Enschede and Manchester. The papers included in this volume represent the best papers presented at the first conference to be held at the University of Twente in September 1996.
