In today's economy the management of technology is a major factor in the process layout employed by the firm, in systems used by the company, in its structural design, and in its product marketability. This text uses technology as a guiding focus for explaining the strategic management process. Each chapter splits into two acts: (1) chapters open with material synthesized from leading theorists and consultants; (2) chapters conclude with discussions of the applicable techniques for successfully exploiting technology and innovation.

SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT is a problem-based book for the small business course where experiential learning is key. This text emphasizes problem-based learning through working with real problems faced by entrepreneurs and small business owners. SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT has built real-world scenarios into its chapters, via its Office Lots continuing case, and interspersed exercises throughout where students often play the roles of financial analyst, marketer, and business owner in order to find solutions. In essence, SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT will be a hands-on learning practicum. With a solid emphasis on research and the most current environmental conditions in small business, and the authorsÂ' backgrounds in strategy, this text provides a solid foundation in terms of the types of business students are most likely to start, which are those businesses that start out small and are expected to stay small for the foreseeable future. The text also provides coverage and development of the business plan which is found in SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENTÂ's Appendix.

Product Description 
Entrepreneurship: The Art, Science, and Process for Success, emphasizes three core tenets necessary to start an entrepreneurial venture:\nThe 
Art of turning an entrepreneurial venture into a success. 
The 
Science of practice as the heart of starting and running a successful entrepreneurial venture. 
The 
Process that tie these two areas together into a coherent and organized business.\nWith its adaptive learning tools, students learn the 
 art, science, and 
process of designing, starting, and managing a small business. Through its real-world approach, students are placed in the roles of a financial analyst, marketer, and business owners, and think critically to develop their plan to survive in the ever-changing business world. Rather than have a chapter on designing a building a plan, the authors built the entire book around it so that at the end of the course the students will have crafted their own business plans.\nAbout the Author \nDr. Chuck Bamford is the Managing Partner at Bamford Associates, LLC, a Strategy Consulting Firm focused on the DESIGN and IMPLEMENTATION of a compelling set of competitive advantages.\nFrom VC-backed firms to Fortune 100 companies, he has been able to focus the efforts of employees on the real strategy of the organization and dramatically increase returns.
