Training and development for small business managers. Part two: A procedure for identifying management development needs

Abstract

This is Part Two of a two‐part article, the first part having been published in The Vocational Aspect of Education, 44, pp. 211–231. Part One discussed the literature concerning small business management and its implications for the development of an instrument for identifying the training and development needs of small business managers. Part Two explains the assumptions underlying the instrument we have created before describing the instrument and its use in interviews and small group situations. The instrument is considered to be valid, but to require further validation trials and development. © 1993 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
