Abstract
This paper examines the findings of a large-scale postal survey based on an adaption, described as the Small Business Survey (NISBS), of the Cranfield Network Survey of International Strategic HRM. The NISBS utilized a sample of 1,369 organizations, representing every company employing between ten and one hundred people in Northern Ireland. The key issues emerging from the 219 responses received are presented. A comparison of practice in the family and non-family divisions of the SME sector is provided.
