520 $a A qualitative case study of the educational activities of small business managers (SBMs) in Leon County, Florida was conducted during the years 1998--1999. The participants in the study were ten SBMs in Leon County, Florida, who employed students enrolled in the Diversified Cooperative Training program at Amos P. Godby High School. The SBMs included males, females, and minorities who were high participants in educational activities with formal and informal providers of educational activities.
520 $a The most common reason for adults to engage in educational activities is to resolve problems. The demands experienced in the work environment create an abundant source of problems for the SBMs. The SBMs acquire the knowledge that they need by utilizing a variety of strategies. They include self-directed learning projects, and use of educational service providers.
520 $a The research problem the study addressed was: How do SBMs acquire the knowledge necessary to succeed in their businesses? The objectives of the study were to describe the SBMs' educational activities and determine what influenced them in those activities. The study identified the knowledge, skills and competencies that the SBMs considered important to their success. It determined the personal, professional, environmental and institutional factors that affected the SBMs engagement in educational activities. It identified the SBMs educational activities and the providers that were utilized.
520 $a A cross-case analysis was conducted. The themes that emerged from the data were: people skills, process skills, technology skills, worldview, external change, networking skills, learning and work merge, informal sources of learning and formal sources of learning. The themes provide an understanding of how SBMs acquire the knowledge necessary to succeed in their businesses.
520 $a Nine working hypotheses were generated from the data and cross-case analysis. The study provides practical implications for providers of educational activities for SBMs. Recommendations for further study are presented.
