SMALL BUSINESS RESOURCES

(video) 
When it comes to owning a small business, a lot of thought goes into the startup process, and into keeping that business afloat. But you don't often hear much about getting out of the businesses, and that's something that takes a lot of planning too.
(June 3, 2009, New England Cable News)
The importance of ethics for small business owners
There comes a point in the life of every small business owner (or every large business owner or executive for that matter) when they are required to make a decision regarding the role business and personal ethics, and a sense of personal responsibility, will play in their lives.  
(June 6, 2009, StrategicGrowth )
The pitfalls of being a startup (for a CIO)
The startup CIO must operate differently from a typical CIO, and one of his or her first decisions will be around build versus buy. 'Buy', or rather outsourcing parts of the platform to an agency or partner, can be very appealing to a startup.
