Abstract
This research examines specific management practices used by small business owners in five eastern cities. Data collected from 154 firms were analyzed to determine the extent to which business owners delegate certain tasks to other employees. The degree of delegation of administrative and technical tasks was determined to be a key factor affecting business survival and financial success. Specific recommendations are made to entrepreneurs and educators concerning the delegation skills needed to manage a small business.Keywords
