Responding to the Challenges and Opportunities of Workforce 2000
Shriberg, Arthur
Xavier University
Clark, Thomas D.
Xavier University
Human, Sherrie E.
Xavier University
We report results of a national study examining the impact of demographic changes in the American workforce on small business management practices. Telephone interviews with a national random sample of 94 small business owners explored a) if small business owners are aware of changing workforce demographics, and b) if these small business owners are proactively responding to these changes by modifying their personnel practices. Findings indicate that while small business managers are aware of changing workforce demographics, only a minority have changed their practices to take advantage of the new population available to them.

Strategic Planning in Small Firms: Activity and Process Realities
Mueller, Carolyn B.
Ball State University
Naffziger, Douglas W.
Ball State University
Research on small firm planning has established that small firms plan and has generally indicated that planning has value. Strategic plan content research often focuses on developing a written plan. Little research has focused on who engages in planning and who does not. This study investigated the relationship between individual and firm differences and the extent to which planning takes place in the firm. Owner demographics, such as education, age, and years in business, had little relationship with planning activity levels while firm sales and number of employees were related to several planning activity measures.

Perceptions of and Responses to Environmental Economic Incentive Programs: An Industry Comparison for Small and Medium-Sized Companies
Tanner, Margret M.
Westminster College
State and federal regulators have turned to economic incentives, such as toxic use fees, as a means of encouraging pollution prevention. This paper examines ho>r regulatory policies can influence environmental policy of small to medium sized firms in two particular industries. Environmental managers were surveyed in order to describe responses to and perceptions of the various types of regulatory policies that can be used to help eliminate or control toxic emissions. Not surprisingly, firms are most concerned with compliance with traditional command and control regulations. However, these businesses also indicated that some economic incentive programs would provide motivation to reduce toxic emissions. Implications for small and medium-sized operations are discussed.

Pro-Environmental Strategies for Small Businesses: Factors Affecting Consumer Trust and Responsibility
Nowak, Linda I.
Sonoma State University
Fucciolo, Kelly
Sonoma County Water Agency
Ponsford, Brenda S.
Sonoma State University
Consumer reactions to environmental protection policies adopted by small and large retailers were compared and analyzed for differences. Trust in the retailer and expectations of the policy successfully affecting change in the environment were significant predictors of customer loyalty, regardless of retailer size. However, consumers had higher levels of trust and expected to be more loyal to small retailers adopting these policies, even though consumers predicted the larger firms would be in a position to achieve greater results for the environment.

Go International Gradually: Advice to Small Businesses from Companies with Overseas Experience
Bridges, Sheri
Wake Forest University
Harrison, J. Kline
Wake Forest University
The limited resources of small businesses often present unique challenges when the companies try to internationalize. This paper examines the decision to enter the global arena from the viewpoint of firms who already are there. The results of a survey of such companies indicate that changes in the external situation often overcome internal reservations firms might have about internationalizing. Survey participants identify issues related to risk management and the assignment of responsibility for international operations as key areas of concern, and they suggest "coping strategies" for small businesses thinking about doing business overseas.

A Note on the Use of Marketing Research by Small Businesses
Hall, Mark C.
Minnesota State University, Mankato
There is no question that timely and accurate information is as valuable to small business decision makers as it is to decision makers in large organizations. Interestingly though, evidence exists that small businesses make little use of (Oumlil, 1989; Hall, Anglin, and Elliott, 1997; McDaniel and Parasuraman, 1986), and place limited value on (Brush, 1992; Callahan and Cassar, 1995), marketing research -- the very discipline capable of providing this valuable information.

Great Expectations for Fine Dining: Lessons for Small Business Resturateurs
Singer, Joe
University of Missouri - Kansas City
Arora, Raj
University of Missouri - Kansas City
As the 21st century unfolds, our work and our leisure will be changed by our growing sense of individualism and spiritualism. Experts say consumers in the new millennium will overturn much of what we know about target marketing: turning upside down traditional thinking about what we 'II buy, how we’ll live and work and how we’ll eat. For the aging baby boom generation, the new "meal-lennium" will be more about "time-using" (social event) than "time-saving" (eat-and-run). The fine dining experience will become the triumph of individualism over the ever-faster pace of the new economy as baby boomers den1and to be treated and catered to as individuals.
This study investigated the difference between baby boom men and women in attitude, consumption emotions, and satisfaction resulting from a visit to a fine dining restaurant. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire from residents of a large mid western city using a judgment sampling approach. While there was no difference in the mean values on these constructs, the causal model revealed significant differences in the profile of emotions influencing satisfaction.

The Integration of Computer Technology in Small Businesses
McGrath, Leanne C.
University of South Carolina Aiken
Heiens, Richard A.
University of South Carolina Aiken
In an effort to more fullv understand the use of computers and information technology in the small business sector, a survey was conducted of small business owners in the state of South Carolina. Based on this survey, the present study investigates the extent of computer and information technology integration in small businesses, identifies the major computer applications used by small business, and explores the use of e-mail and Internet technology by small businesses. The authors conclude that small business owners do not sufficiently take advantage of computers and information technology for either operational or strategic assistance, or for comunications and promotion.

Ethical Perspectives in Home-Based Business
Dawson, Stuart
Victoria University
Breen, John
Victoria University
This paper reports the findings of an inaugural investigation into the ethical outlook of home based business operators in Australia. Although generally overlooked in academic research, home-based businesses are internationally recognizable and economically significant. Their operators exercise a high level of control over the values that they enact. The study suggests that ethical considerations are important to Australian home-based business operators. While no one ethical perspective was dominant, non-religious belief's and principles were found to be the most important determinant of their ethical values. Some variation was discovered in operators' altitudes based on their age, sex, and whether or not they were employers.

Family businesses play a significant role in the national economy. Despite their importance, little attention has been paid to strategic decision making in these firms. This research examines strategic decision making in 74 small family firms. In addition to the firm's internal and external factors traditionally acknowledged in strategy research, strategic decisions in family firms were found to be significantly influenced by family considerations. This finding underscores the unique characteristics of family firms. Based on the research findings a conceptual framework of strategic decision making in family firms is offered.

Component Depreciation: A Tax Planning Strategy for Small Businesses
Oestreich, Nathan
San Diego State University
Toole, Howard R.
San Diego State University
Williamson, James E.
San Diego State University
Recent federal court and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) decisions have opened up an excellent opportunity for both small and large businesses to once again use component depreciation, thus accelerating depreciation deductions and reducing cost of buildings and improvements in present value terms. Minor changes in the design or in the procedures followed in purchasing a building make it possible to shorten the depreciable lives of portions of the "building". The savings can easily exceed the additional design, construction, and bidding costs especially if the changes are minor. Small business owners, who may not always retain a fulltime tax advisor, should be aware that it is necessary to involve a tax consultant at the beginning of the design process for construction projects or early in the search for a building purchase.

Small-Town Merchants are Not Using the Recommended Strategies to Compete Against Nationial Discount Chains: A Prescriptive Vs. Descriptive Study
Achua, Christopher F.
University of Virginia's College, Wise
Lussier, Robert N.
Springfield College
The research question was: do small retailers use the strategies prescribed in the literature for them to compete with the large retail chains? Descriptive survey results of 62 small business owner personal interviews indicate that they do not use three of the four prescribed marketing strategies to compete with the large general merchandise discount store chains. Respondents were asked if they adjusted strategies after the major retailer moved in; 52% did not adjust product, 42% maintained the same price strategy, 21% did increase service strategy, and 50% did not alter promotion strategy. The findings revealed that 34% expanded their product line, with only 10% reducing their product line. Although not recommended, 37% actually dropped prices to compete. However, 77% did place a greater emphasis on service. Assessing the impact of these changes on financial performance, 58% indicated that their sales and profit margins had remained satisfactory over a 5-year period of measurement and a third (32%) had mixed results during the same time period.

Strengthening Federal Bankruptcy Laws: Implications for Small Businesses
Sonfield, Matthew C.
Hofstra University
Significant changes in the American bankruptcy laws have recently been passed by both Houses of Congress. Although the terrorist attacks of September 11 , 2001 have temporarily delayed final approval by President Bush, he has indicated his endorsement of these modifications to the law, and eventual realization is expected. While most of the publicity regarding these proposed changes has focused on their impact upon individuals and their ability to erase personal debts, small businesses are also extensively impacted by these changes. This article first explains bankruptcy law in general as it affects small companies, then discusses the expected changes in the law and their small business implications, and finally suggests appropriate responses for small business owners, managers and their consultants.

Fallacies Versus Realities in Financial Planning and Management Among Entrepreneurs: Lessons from the Trenches
Dunn, Paul
University of Louisiana at Monroe
Liang, Chyi-lyi (Kathleen)
University of Vermont
This paper summarizes fallacious thinking about financial planning and management among entrepreneurs and small business owners. This thinking often continues from start-up through initial liquidity and beyond and creates problems for the venture. These problems can usually be avoided with an understanding of the realities associated with fallacious thinking and following some fairly simple "rules" enunciated by the authors.

Factors Affecting Franchise Agreement Terminations: Lessons for the Franchising Sector
Frazer, Lorelle
Griffith University, Logan, Australia
Terry, Andrew
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
The practice of termination of franchise agreements raises significant strategic and legal issues. This paper aims to provide descriptive information about franchise terminations in relation to which the appropriateness of regulatory responses can be measured. Data were collected from surveys of Australian franchisers in 1998 and 1999 to explore the nature, reasons and outcomes of franchise agreement terminations. A model predicting the likelihood of terminations was developed, based on franchise system maturity, support structures provided, and level of conflict experienced. The results indicate that mature franchises were more likely than younger systems to experience franchise terminations. No consistent link was found between the amount of system support or the level of conflict and the incidence of franchise terminations. The data lends support to judicial responses to termination issues which accommodate the relational aspect of franchise relationships and addresses termination issues in the context of the underlying relationship and the legitimate business expectations of the parties.

A poll of Small Business Institute Directors Association members identified five schools that had started new SBI programs since 1996, despite the lack of federal funding. The authors conducted a survey of these five new SBI programs. The authors conclude that starting new SBI programs is a viable means of offering students hands-on business experience despite the lack of federal funding.

The American labor movement has experienced significant challenges in the last two decades in maintaining the size of its membership. The effects of a sharp increase in business being shifted off-shore, an unstable U.S. economy which resulted in major reductions in work force, and the growth of small businesses and the decline in major industry have lead to a continuing erosion of the non-government employees represented by collective bargaining agencies.
