A cliche it may be but we are living in ever more turbulent times.
Business decision-making has become more challenging and
unpredictable than ever: we see unforeseen and often cataclysmic
changes in consumer demand, both at home and in export markets;
customers continue to demand more, more quickly and for less; new
laws and regulations abound; competitors steal loyal customers;
and, increasingly, the advice that once could be found from a
'Small Business Adviser' has been replaced by a call centre. Hand
in hand with these challenges, the risks associated with expansion,
or a new strategy, have grown significantly. In the context of a
small business, where a manager has not necessarily had the breadth
of experience of someone in a larger organization or formal
management learning, they can seem extremely daunting. This book
addresses the issues confronting managers/owners of SMEs by
providing practical, jargon-free advice on which a SME can create a
sound platform from which to prosper.
