| dc.description | Management self development is considered by many to be an appropriate development strategy for small business owners/managers, yet to date little self development research has focused on this large and important group. Based on interviews conducted with 8 small business owners/managers this thesis examined management self development among small business owners/managers. | en_US |
| dc.description | Initially an overview of the small business sector and its importance to the Canadian economy and key elements of the management development of small business owners/managers were considered. A model of management self development based on the existing literature (focusing on medium and large organizations) was then used as a guide for exploring management self development among selected owners/managers. Findings suggest a loose fit for the model but also indicate a number of issues that require further exploration, including learning stance, and the interpersonal, informal, and accidental nature of much of the management development of these owners/managers. Directions for future research are suggested. | en_US |
