Small Business Innovation

Entrepreneurship is thriving in the U.S., with new business applications nearly doubling in 2020 compared to previous years.

Small businesses are at the forefront of innovation—historically, companies with 5-9 employees have filed nearly twice as many patents as larger firms.

Their contributions continue to fuel economic growth and shape industries.

Despite their impact, small business leaders face unique challenges.

Research by co-authors Peter Brooks and Gerry Starsia highlights the complexities of managing resources and developing high-performing teams.

Their upcoming book, SURVIVAL to SUCCESS: Leading Small, High-Growth Enterprises, delves into strategies that resonate with today’s entrepreneurial leaders. One early reader remarked, "The book is filled with examples and case studies that reinforce how to navigate small business challenges."
