Abstract

This inquiry investigated the degree of familiarity of C.E.O.s of small manufacturing firms with federal regulations. Important findings were that the managers, especially those employed by firms producing industrial goods, were deficient in their familiarity with the terms of government regulations and could benefit from the acquisition of further insights. Implications and suggestions for the C.E.O.s. are provided.
