This publication examines the effective provision of business development services (BDS). The authors summarize the BDS paradigm and present four principle arguments that cast doubt on the traditional path taken by state or donor-led service provisions as well as the policy conclusions made by proponents of the BDS market approach. The paper further identifies four conceptual and practical limitations of such a school of thought. The authors then elaborate on the arguments and draw practical conclusions for development cooperation.
