Canadian Small Business Case Study Success Stories
Entrepreneurs look for role models as they struggle with the challenges of starting and growing a business. Case studies illustrate the business strategies and management practices new entrepreneurs employ that can lead to success, especially in key areas such as finance, exports and skills development. These case studies could possibly serve to inform the development of future programs and services targeted at those key areas.
To assist in providing this type of information, the Leadership and Management Council of British Columbia (LMCBC) prepared the following case studies on behalf of Industry Canada:
- 1-800-Got-Junk?: Branding Professionalism (November 2006)
- Blue Falls Manufacturing: Turning Market Knowledge into a Competitive Edge (November 2006)
- Robeez Footwear: Better by Design (November 2006)
- Great Little Box Company: A Team Approach to Success (December 2005)
- Magnotta: Breaking New Ground with Innovative Marketing Strategies (December 2005)
- Redknee Solutions Inc.: Planning for Success (December 2005)
These case studies shed light on how some successful Canadian entrepreneurs deal with common business issues ranging from innovation, export development, and growth management, to human resource management, succession planning, and creative financing. They offer the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the framework or context within which certain business behaviour occurs, as well as the influence that particular settings or conditions can have on an entrepreneur's choice of options for dealing with business challenges.
