As an approach to informing the small-business man about developing an awareness of the human factors in managing their business, this publication was prepared to aid in teaching one session of a basic course. The sections of the booklet are as follows: (1) The Lesson Plan--an outline of the material coved, which may be used as a teaching guide, presented in two columns: an outline of the presentation, and a step-by-step indication of procedure; (2) The Presentation--a subject presentation; (3) The Visual Aids--photographic copies of the set of visual aids that are available for this topic; (4) The Supply Department--materials that may be reproduced locally for distribution to course participants; (5) Cases in point--short actual small-business management cases that may be used to augment the presentation and to develop discussion, or as the basis for a second session; (6) The Incubator--ideas for stimulating further thought and discussion by the participants. A bibliography is provided, and field offices of the Small Business Administration are listed. (DB)
