Case Studies of Managing for Success

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.

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.
