SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION IN THE HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT OF AUSTRALIA'S DROUGHT STRICKEN RURAL COMMUNITIES
Summary. Small businesses in drought-affected rural Australian communities implemented innovations to survive economic hardship. Most changes were incremental, focusing on protecting markets, accessing resources, and improving efficiency. However, some businesses pursued radical innovations including mergers, acquisitions, and product diversification. These high-risk strategies contributed significantly to their communities. Planning and resource access reduced risks associated with major innovations.
