This final task force report contains a study of education and training needs of existing and future minority entrepreneurs and makes specific recommendations for the national effort to expand business ownership by minority persons. Ten chapters detail findings and recommendations; education and training: key to minority enterprise survival; the Federal leadership role, mobilizing the resources; task force recommendations; matching resources to needs; developing operational programs; getting the message across (recruiting participants, publicizing business opportunities, eliminating stereotypes); evaluation, demonstration, and research; delivering services at the local level; and recent initiatives and prospects for the future. Among the principal conclusions: An important relationship exists between management education and the survival of business enterprises; and the management education gap between minority and nonminority owners must be bridged. Also needed are greater support for existing programs; new initiatives for present and future minority businessmen; business ownership courses in the State and local educational establishment; and a combined public and private sector effort to make needed resources available for improvement of minority enterprise education.
