Small Business Management

Managing a small business is different from managing a large enterprise. This course teaches the concepts and builds the skills necessary to grow and manage a small business successfully. The course addresses major challenges faced by smaller companies, including developing systems and processes to monitor and run the business, coordinating the legal and financing issues in launching and growing the business, product development, promotional planning, team building, conflict resolution, personnel, and compensation issues. The course will also address special issues unique to managing a family business and franchising.
