Small Business Management Notes

an independently owned and operated business that is not dominant in its field of operation
and conforms to standards set by the Small Business Administration or by state law
regarding number of employees and yearly income: Merriam-Webster.com Legal
Dictionary

The meaning of small business cannot be said to be adequate in a single definition.

For many of these definitions are based on the background, orientation and
environment of the scholar.

Chris et.al (2000) define, small business as those which are owned and controlled by
one or a few persons, with direct owner(s) influence in decision making and having
relatively small share of the market in the applicable industry.

Robert (1994) see small business as an independently owned and operate; has capital

Business management is the discipline of overseeing and supervising business operations,
processes, and resources to achieve organizational goals and objectives. It involves planning,
organizing, directing, and controlling resources, including people, finances, materials, and
technology, to efficiently and effectively achieve the desired outcomes.
The role of a business manager usually includes making strategic decisions, allocating
resources, and creating policies that guide the company’s daily operations. Managing a
business encompasses various aspects of business administration, including finance,
accounting, human resources, marketing, operations, and logistics.
A successful business manager must have excellent leadership skills, communication skills,
problem-solving skills, and the ability to make sound decisions. But it is not enough. They
also need to have industry-specific knowledge, including technical, business, and
commercial fundamentals (for example: understanding market trends and customer needs)

Main areas of business management.

There are several main areas when we talk about business management, which includes:

1. Strategic Management: involves setting the organization’s overall direction and

making long-term plans to achieve the company’s goals and objectives. This involves
analyzing the external environment, identifying the company’s strengths and
weaknesses, and developing strategies to position the company for success.
2. Financial Management: involves managing the financial resources of the
organization, such as budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and managing
investments.
3. Marketing Management: involves identifying and understanding customer needs,
developing and implementing marketing strategies, and managing the promotion and
distribution of the company’s products or services.
4. Operations Management: involves managing the processes and systems that produce
and deliver the company’s products or services. This includes supply chain
management, production management, and logistics.
5. Human Resource Management: involves managing the company’s employees,
including recruitment, hiring, training, development, performance evaluation, and
compensation.
6. Information Technology Management: involves managing the company’s technology
infrastructure, including hardware, software, and data management, to support the
company’s business goals.
7. Risk Management: Risk management involves identifying and managing the risks that
the company faces, such as financial risks, legal risks, and operational risks. This
includes developing risk management plans and implementing strategies to mitigate
risk.
In all these areas, of course, some processes drive the operation. Therefore, the discipline
of business process management can help in all these areas and is not limited only to
Technology. In fact, the Technology area takes a supporting role, helping to choose and
operate the right BPM Suite for the other areas to be more efficient in the execution of their
processes.

Most common business management tactics

Many different tactics can be used when managing a company, depending on the specific
goals and challenges of the organization. Here are some of the most common tactics we have
seen:

1. Setting clear goals and objectives. This helps to provide direction and focus for the
organization and enables managers to track progress and measure success.
2. Develop a strategic plan that outlines the actions required to achieve goals. This helps
ensure that resources are allocated effectively and everyone is working towards the
same objectives.
3. Effective communication, including communicating goals and expectations, providing
feedback and recognition, and building relationships with stakeholders and
employees.
4. Monitoring and managing employee performance, setting performance standards,
providing feedback and coaching, and addressing performance issues promptly and
effectively..
5. Implementing processes and systems for continuous improvement. This involves
regularly reviewing and refining processes and practices to optimize performance
and ensure that the organization is operating at its best (Yes, this is precisely the spirit
of the BPM Discipline, we will discuss it later)
6. Building strong teams is essential for success in a business management system. This
involves creating a supportive and collaborative work environment, setting clear
roles and responsibilities, and providing opportunities for team members to develop
and grow.
7. Encouraging innovation and creativity involve creating a culture that supports new
ideas and experimentation and providing resources and support for innovative
projects and initiatives.
8. Identifying and managing risks is a crucial tactic that involves assessing potential
threats, developing strategies to mitigate them, and having contingency plans to
address unexpected events.

Great management critical principles

Many principles of excellent management have been identified and discussed over the years.
Here are some fundamental principles:
1. Great management must develop a clear and effective communication
channel with employees, stakeholders, and customers. Managers should be able to
articulate their expectations, provide feedback, and encourage dialogue. Automated
processes can ensure that communication is clear and consistent with employees and
stakeholders, and automated notifications and alerts can ensure that messages are
delivered promptly and consistently.
2. Having a clear vision for the company’s future and developing a strategic plan to
achieve that vision is vital when leading a team. The Managers should be able to
communicate the vision to employees and motivate them to work toward it. Business
processes and their tasks must align with the company’s vision and strategy.
3. Empathy and Emotional Intelligence: Great managers understand and empathize
with their employees’ perspectives and emotions.They can build relationships
with their employees and communicate in a supportive and constructive way. Lack of
time for the management of the company is usually an impediment to building these
relationships. Naturally, eliminating paper, reducing endless email threads, and
replacing repetitive tasks with automated processes help to regain the time needed
to have meaningful conversations that build trust and relationships.
4. Taking responsibility for their actions and monitoring employees’ performance in
detail are key aspects that enable accountability. This way, great managers
generate credibility and trust, setting clear expectations and providing feedback on
performance. Automated business processes can include KPIs to make tracking
performance and holding employees accountable for their actions easier.
5. Great managers are committed to learning and growing. To stall is to go backward.
Great leaders know this and continually seek to incorporate new knowledge and skills
for themselves and, most importantly, their teams. Naturally, automating employee
evaluation workflows and the processes for requesting, approving, and evaluating
training investments makes it easier to implement a continuous education policy.
6. Innovation and creativity are irreplaceable ingredients when talking about the
basics of business management, as it’s needed for solving complex problems or
unexpected situations. Naturally, the best leaders take risks to achieve great goals.
And along the way, they face challenging issues for which no obvious solution exists.
In these cases, the team’s capacity for innovation and creativity are critical success
factors. We have seen great results by automating processes to manage ideas (so that
they are not lost), but above all, to track their evolution until they become a feasible
and effective solution.
7. We all recognize the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Great leaders
make it happen. They generate a work environment where trust exists, shared goals,
team rewards (in addition to individual ones), and accurate and timely feedback to
correct anything that needs improvement. Business processes are collaborative by
definition, where tasks are assigned to different organization members to achieve one
of the business objectives together. The KPIs of a process also serve as alerts to take
timely action.
8. The last two characteristics to highlight are resilience and adaptability. Resilience
allows great managers to face challenges and get up again and again in the face of
failure until success is achieved. But for resilience to work, the leader must have great
flexibility to adapt to unexpected situations and contexts. Leaders are usually forced
 to make decisions in uncertain and complex situations with very little information.
But great leaders are flexible and agile to change their position if wrong and adapt
quickly. No-code tools like Flokzu are examples of instruments leaders can use to
adapt quickly. Modifying a process in minutes and deploying it to all users allows
them to respond successfully to unforeseen changes in the market, team, regulations,
etc.

Overall, great management requires a combination of skills, traits, and practices that enable
managers to lead effectively, build strong relationships, and achieve their goals. A BPM Suite
is a valuable tool to service business management. At the same time, automated processes
can help managers to improve communication, align tasks with strategic objectives, increase
accountability, and promote innovation and team building. Managers can focus more on
strategic planning, coaching employees, and driving results by automating repetitive tasks
and administrative processes.

Relationship between business management

and BPM
Business Management and Business Process Management (BPM) are closely related
concepts, as we previously discussed, but they have different focuses.
Business management is the overall practice of directing and coordinating business
operations and resources to achieve organizational goals and objectives. It involves various
functions, such as strategic planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling
resources, as described before.
On the other hand, BPM identifies, automates, and improves business processes within an
organization to optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality. It involves identifying
business processes, modeling them (using a standard notation like BPMN), automating and
executing them (using a Process Engine), analyzing their performance using indicators
(KPI), and making necessary improvements to optimize them for better results.
In short, BPM is a subset of business management, focusing specifically on improving and
managing the processes within a business. Effective BPM can help a company achieve its
objectives more efficiently and effectively, which is a crucial component of successful business
management.
Overall, business management and BPM work hand-in-hand, with business management
providing a company’s strategic direction and helping to ensure that the company’s
processes are optimized to achieve its goals.

Do you need automated business processes in

every area of business management?
No, automated business processes are not necessarily required in every area of business
management. The decision to automate a business process should be based on the
organization’s specific needs, goals, and objectives and the availability of appropriate
technology solutions.
Automation can be beneficial in areas such as financial management, operations
management, and supply chain management, where repetitive, rule-based processes can be
easily automated. For example, automating financial processes such as accounts payable and
accounts receivable can improve efficiency and accuracy, reduce errors and delays, and
provide greater visibility into financial performance.
Similarly, automation can be beneficial in areas such as human resource management, where
automated tools can help to streamline processes such as recruitment, onboarding, and
performance management.
However, in other areas such as strategic management and marketing management, the need
for automation may be less critical, as these areas may require more flexibility and creativity
in decision-making. While technology can be helpful in these areas, it may not be necessary
to automate every aspect of the business.

Management styles
We previously talked about the management definition. Now is the time to talk about the
different styles of business management. The appropriate management style for a given
situation depends on various factors, including the organization’s culture, the nature of the
work being performed, and the needs and preferences of individual employees. Here are
some of the most common management styles:

1. Autocratic: the manager makes all the decisions and has complete control over the
organization. This style can work well in situations where decisions must be made
quickly. Still, it can also stifle creativity and innovation.
2. Democratic: the manager involves employees in decision-making and encourages
open communication and feedback. This style helps build solid teams and fosters a
sense of ownership among employees.
3. Laissez-faire (Allow-to-do): the manager provides minimal guidance and lets
employees make their own decisions. This style is instrumental in situations where
employees are highly skilled and motivated. Still, it can also lead to a need for more
direction and accountability.
4. Transformational: the manager inspires and motivates employees to achieve their full
potential. This style can be effective in fostering creativity and innovation, but it
requires a high degree of emotional intelligence and communication skills.
5. Transactional: the manager sets clear expectations and provides rewards or
punishments based on performance. This style can be effective in achieving short-
term goals, but it may not be as effective in building strong teams and fostering long-
term growth.
 6. Servant: the manager focuses on serving the needs of employees and helping them to
achieve their goals. This style can help to build strong teams and foster a sense of
loyalty and commitment, but it requires a high degree of empathy and emotional
intelligence.

Of course, the most effective management style depends on two key elements. Firstly, the
specific needs and goals of the organization. And on the other hand, it depends on the
strengths and weaknesses of individual managers and employees. Some very skilled
managers can adapt their management style to fit the needs of the organization and its
employees, but it is not the most common case.

Which of these styles is more useful to

automate and formalize business processes?
Automation and formalization of business processes can be useful in any management style,
depending on the nature of the work being performed and the specific needs of the
organization. However, some management styles may be more conducive to automation and
formalization than others.
For example, in a transactional management style, where performance is measured based on
clear expectations and rewards or punishments, formalizing and automating business
processes can help to ensure that performance is tracked accurately and consistently using
objective KPIs that are automatically measured by the BPM Suite.
In a servant management style, where the focus is on serving the needs of employees and
building strong teams, formalizing and automating business processes can help to ensure
that employees have the tools necessary to be successful. Particularly in situations where
employees are distributed across different locations or working on different projects.

The relevance of delegation in

business management.
Delegation is a key aspect of effective management and is often cited as a key characteristics
of great managers. Delegation allows managers to leverage the skills and knowledge of their
team members, distribute the workload more effectively, and focus on higher-level tasks that
require their attention. It also provides opportunities for employees to develop their skills,
take on new challenges, and increase their engagement and job satisfaction.
Great managers understand the importance of delegation and are skilled at identifying tasks
that can be delegated to others, selecting the right people to delegate to, and providing the
necessary guidance and support to ensure that the task is completed successfully. They are
also able to balance delegation with appropriate levels of oversight, accountability, and
control to ensure that delegated tasks align with the organization’s goals and quality
standards.
However, delegation is not always easy, and it requires a level of trust, communication, and
collaboration between managers and their team members. Great managers are skilled at
building relationships with their employees and creating a culture of trust and accountability
that encourages delegation and empowers employees to take ownership of their work.

The cons of delegating and how you can

overcome them.
Delegating can be an effective way to manage workloads, develop employees’ skills, and
promote a culture of trust and accountability within an organization. However, there are also
potential drawbacks to delegating, including:

1. Lack of control: When managers delegate tasks to others, they may feel like they are
losing control over the work and may be hesitant to let go of tasks that they have
traditionally been responsible for. A BPM Suite and automated processes can provide
managers with a clear and centralized view of all delegated tasks, ensuring that they
are still in control of the work. Managers can track the progress of the tasks and
receive notifications when tasks are completed, which can help them manage their
workload more effectively.
2. Misunderstandings and mistakes: Delegating requires clear communication and a
shared understanding of expectations, timelines, and quality standards. If the
manager and the employee do not have a shared understanding, it can lead to
misunderstandings and mistakes. Automated processes can provide a standard, well-
defined approach to completing tasks, managing due dates, and raising alerts,
reducing the potential for misunderstandings and mistakes.
3. Employee development: While delegating can help to develop employees’ skills and
confidence, it can also lead to employees feeling overwhelmed or unsupported if they
are not given enough guidance or resources. Well-documented and automated
processes can provide employees with the necessary framework and guidance to
complete tasks successfully. The system can include best practices, examples, training
materials, and step-by-step instructions, which can help employees build their skills
and confidence.
4. Time investment: Delegating takes time and effort, as managers need to invest in
training, communication, and follow-up to ensure that the work is done correctly.
This can be a challenge for managers who are already stretched thin. By automating
processes, managers can reduce the time required to delegate and manage tasks.
Instead of spending time monitoring progress and providing guidance, managers can
rely on the BPM Suite to ensure that tasks are correctly completed and on schedule.
5. Risk of delegation: Certain tasks cannot be delegated due to their importance and
severity, therefore, there is always a risk involved in delegating the wrong task or
delegating to the wrong person, which could lead to mistakes, quality issues, or even
 financial loss. By defining clear processes and roles in a BPM Suite, managers can
ensure that tasks are assigned to the right people and are completed correctly.

What Is Business Management?

Business management is the art and science of planning, organizing, directing,
and controlling the resources and activities of a business to achieve its
objectives efficiently and effectively. It encompasses a broad range of activities
including strategic planning, resource allocation, leadership, and decision
making. At its core, it involves setting goals, implementing strategies, and
overseeing operations to ensure organizational success.
Business management is essential for guiding companies through the dynamic
and often complex world of commerce. It requires a blend of analytical,
strategic, and people skills to navigate challenges and capitalize on
opportunities. Effective business management is the backbone of every
successful company, playing a vital role in growth, profitability, and
sustainability.

Why Is Business Management Crucial

For Success?
Business management is critical for a company’s success, as it provides
structure and direction to an organization. It ensures that all efforts are aligned
with the company’s goals and that resources are utilized efficiently. Good
management practices help in identifying and mitigating risks, fostering
innovation, and maintaining a competitive edge in the market.

Moreover, it plays a key role in decision-making processes, problem-solving,

and adapting to changing market conditions. Without effective business
management, organizations can falter in strategic planning, employee
performance, and customer satisfaction, leading to a decline in growth and
profitability.

What Are The Key Elements Of

Business Management?
Business management is an intricate field that involves several key elements,
each playing a crucial role in the success and sustainability of an organization.

These elements represent the fundamental aspects of managing a business,

ranging from strategic decision-making to the day-to-day operations. The
dynamic nature of business requires a comprehensive approach to
management, where these elements work in harmony to create a resilient and
adaptive business model.

1. Strategic Planning
Strategic planning involves setting goals and mapping out strategies to achieve
them. It’s about understanding where the business is heading and the steps
required to get there. This process ensures resources are correctly allocated,
aligning day-to-day operations with long-term objectives.

Effective strategic planning not only guides a company’s trajectory but also
provides benchmarks for measuring success, ensuring that the organization
remains focused and on track towards achieving its goals.

2. Leadership And People Management

Leadership is about guiding and inspiring a team towards achieving business
goals. It involves motivating employees, fostering a positive work culture, and
managing team dynamics. Good leadership is characterized by strong
communication, decision-making, and interpersonal skills.

People management is equally important, focusing on the development and

well-being of employees, ensuring they have the necessary tools and training to
succeed in their roles.

3. Financial Management
Financial management is crucial for sustainable business growth. It involves
budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation. This element ensures the
company has sufficient funds to operate and invest in growth opportunities.

Good financial management also involves analyzing financial data to make

informed decisions, helping to maximize profits and maintain financial health.

4. Marketing And Sales

Marketing and sales are pivotal in creating value and generating revenue.
Marketing focuses on understanding customer needs and communicating the
value of products or services. Sales involve the direct interaction with customers
to facilitate transactions.

Both require a deep understanding of market trends and customer preferences,

essential for building brand awareness and driving growth.

5. Operations Management
Operations management ensures business processes are efficient and effective.
It involves managing the production process and optimizing the use of
resources to create goods or services.

This element is key to operational efficiency, quality control, cost reduction, and
profitability enhancement.

6. Technology Management
Technology management is about effectively integrating technology into
business operations. It involves staying updated with technological
advancements and managing digital transformations.

Effective technology management enhances operational efficiency, fosters

innovation, and provides a competitive edge in the market.

7. Risk Management And Compliance

Risk management involves identifying and mitigating business risks, while
compliance ensures adherence to laws and regulations. These aspects are crucial
for the company’s longevity and legal integrity.

Effective risk management and compliance protect against financial losses,

legal penalties, and reputational damage, ensuring business resilience in
complex environments.

5 Challenges Of Business Management

And How To Overcome Them
Business management is akin to navigating a complex maze. With ever-
evolving market dynamics, technology advancements, and organizational
needs, the challenges can seem labyrinthine.

But fear not! By identifying and understanding these hurdles, businesses can
develop strategies to overcome them. Let’s explore some of the most common
challenges faced in business management and how to tackle them effectively.

1. Effective Resource Allocation

One of the primary challenges in business management is the efficient
allocation and utilization of resources. This includes not just financial
resources, but also human capital and technological assets. Inefficient resource
allocation can lead to financial strain, reduced productivity, and ultimately, a
decline in business growth.

To overcome this, businesses need to develop robust resource management

strategies. This involves thorough planning, budgeting, and forecasting.
Utilizing tools for resource management and employing data-driven decision-
making can greatly enhance the effectiveness of resource allocation, leading to
optimized operations and improved financial health.

2. Adapting To Market Changes

Staying abreast of market changes is crucial. Companies must be agile enough
to respond to evolving customer needs, technological advancements, and
competitive landscapes. Failure to adapt can result in lost market share and
diminished relevance.

To combat this, continuous market analysis and trend monitoring are essential.
Encouraging a culture of innovation within the organization can foster
adaptability. Regular training and development programs for employees can
also equip them with the skills needed to embrace and drive change, ensuring
the business remains competitive and forward-thinking.

3. Balancing Short-Term And Long-Term

Objectives
Another significant challenge is balancing short-term operational needs with
long-term strategic goals. Focusing too much on immediate results can
jeopardize future growth, while only concentrating on long-term objectives can
lead to current performance issues.

Instead, businesses should adopt a dual-focused approach. This involves setting

clear short-term targets that align with the broader long-term vision. Regularly
reviewing and adjusting business strategies and operations to ensure they are in
sync with both immediate and future objectives can help maintain this balance,
driving sustainable growth and success.

4. Fostering A Positive Corporate Culture

Creating and maintaining a positive corporate culture is a significant challenge
in business management. A toxic culture can lead to employee dissatisfaction,
high turnover rates, and ultimately, a decline in productivity and profitability.
The challenge lies in building a culture that aligns with the company’s values
and objectives while supporting employee well-being and engagement.

To combat this, it’s important to prioritize communication and transparency

within the organization. Regular feedback mechanisms, employee recognition
programs, and opportunities for professional development can help foster a
positive culture. Additionally, ensuring a work-life balance and providing
support for mental health can significantly enhance the overall corporate
culture.

5. Navigating Financial Management And Budgeting

Financial management and budgeting are crucial yet challenging aspects of
business management. Mismanagement of finances can lead to cash flow
problems, inability to fund operations or growth, and could even risk the
business’s survival. The key challenge lies in predicting market trends,
managing expenses, and generating sufficient revenue.

Effective financial management requires a detailed understanding of the

business’s financial health. Regular financial reporting, budget reviews, and
cash flow analysis are essential. Utilizing financial management software can
provide valuable insights into financial trends and help in making informed
decisions.
