This research, based on social capital and strategic networking theory, explored small business owners' use of formal networking as a strategy for conducting business in competitive markets. Data were collected from 285 men and 111 women, who operated small businesses in small communities and were members of one of 29 business networks.

Financial education is a critical topic/skill for the development of a progressive society. A project was designed and implemented to address two primary objectives.

DAYTON -- Organizers of an aerospace trade and technology exposition that started in 2009 as an every-other-year event but was canceled this year will query the business community about support before deciding whether to commit to the event in 2013, a member of its board said Monday.
