Participants of the Inter-RENT virtual workshop were selected from the RENT 2003 papers covering growth issues. A total of 11 author(s) were invited, out of which 8 author(s) were interested in participating the process. During the process two peer referees from the 8 papers evaluated each paper, experts reviewed each paper and offered feedback and members were asked to comment on the third version of the papers. After each phase of commenting the papers were revised based on the feedback received. The editors, Dr. Thomas Cooney and Dr. Pasi Malinen, selected a total of 4 papers to be included in the first Inter-RENT Online Journal:

There are four papers included in the book, which are:
(1) Strategic renewal and its effect on small firm performance (Folkeringa, Meijaard & van Stel)
(2) Small tourism firms and regional development: A New Zealand scenario
(Ateljevic)
(3) Competitive positioning and resource configuration of small firms in a mature industry (Borch & Forsman)
