Excerpt from Management Succession in Small and Growing Enterprises In contrast to this, succession is complicated for the small concern because most of its management resources are cen tered in one man; its Operating organization is typically thin and heavily dependent on the general manager for day - to-day guidance, and there is usually no effective source of outside help. Though popular attention has recently been given to small business problems, it has mainly been directed toward such areas as taxation, share of defense production and controlled materials, relief from governmental restrictions, and protection from Big Business. The difficulty of providing for continu ity of management in the small company is a problem which has received scant recognition. Yet bank and trust officers interviewed in the course of this study estimated that from 70% to 90% of the small companies with which they Were familiar had failed to look ahead and prepare for the transition from current to next-generation management. The results of this study substantiate these estimates. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Teaching and the Case Method

Harvard Business School Press

<p>Discussion teaching - the foundation of the Harvard Business School's renowned case method of instruction - is a powerful tool for developing skills as well as conveying knowledge. The contributors maintain that the elements of teaching can be identified and consciously practiced. The essays describe the building blocks of group leadership, negotiating a "contract" governing the conduct of the group, orchestrating a constructive process of questioning, listening and responding, ways of encouraging independent thinking, and guiding participants towards useful roles in the interaction with one another. Other chapters in the volume take a broader, more philosophical view of discussion leadership. They cover the ethical considerations of discussion teaching, the special challenges of teaching technical material using this method and a participative mode of medical education.</p>
