Success in all areas of business management depends on the development of specific tasks, but some small business managers perform better in the role of administrators, merchants, or inventors, rather than leaders. What distinguishes leadership from small business management is that in order to lead others, a leader must rely less on power, and more on authority. In business relations, authority usually originates from a number of sources: charisma, natural qualities, traditions, roles, functions, status, etc. In the process of analyzing leadership in a small business, one should take into account not only the leader, group, task and situation, but also the fact that changing any of these factors will affect all the others. Skillful leaders take into account individual needs in the group and the requirements for performing tasks.

Interviews of small business owner/managers were conducted to determine the extent to which they use information from competitors and about competitors. A combination of quantitative and qualitative information indicated that small business managers used competitors less frequently than customers and suppliers as sources of information. In addition, the managers did not analyze the competitors’ products or services closely, and they did not enter into formal arrangements with them.
